Sennheiser, help!

CrazinCS · September 9, 2016

Hi guys, I want to buy a new headset after my very old Siberia V2 finally broke for good.

Could anyone help me decide between some of the open acoustic Sennheiser headsets?

I'm talking about the G4ME ONE, PC363D and PC373D. Which would be better on its own or which would benefit from a sound card? And while we're at that, which soundcard?

I've been out of touch with tech stuff, sorry for all the silly questions and thanks to anyone who will help me! Cheers.

well the game one are known for offering good audio quality for a headset, they are kinda just the HD558 with a mic slapped on them. If your onboard can power the headset or headphone, then there is no reason to get a sound card, unless you have some problem with your onboard. Also high ohm =/= hard to drive, it is the sensitivity of the driver that matters, so if the headphones are 200 ohm, but the driver is really efficient, then they are not hard to "power".
