audio stuff Headphone and Speaker suggestions

[Kd4lif3]

I am looking into some better audio equipment for my pc so I am thinking of getting some speakers and headphones. I am looking at a fairly low budget of 100 Canadian for each (with some flexibility). I am quite novice with audio equipment so idk if I should also invest in an amp. The use for the headphones will be primarily gaming however I also spend a lot of time consuming youtube and netflix videos so they should be decent all rounders (a decent mic is a given). The speakers dont have to be anything crazy. I am basically just looking for something to give me the option of listing to media without my headset on (a sub woofer would be nice tho). Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have listed some items below that you should be able to get all of them for less than 200 canadian pesos. The monoprice retros are the very similar to the closed superlux that have been recommended a lot. When I started out with a mic i got the Zalman mic and it is acceptable for voice chat, although I wouldn't stream with it. It is a place to start and you have an upgrade path. The Logitech Z333 to me where some of the better looking 2 way speakers with a subwoofer on the market in you budget, they will be functional.

For headphones:

 

Brainwaves HM5 / NVX XPT 100's  These use the same driver just slightly difference design I personally have the XPT 100's and they have not failed once in the year I have owned them and they have travelled to Mexico and back.

 

HM5's:

Speakers:

 

Micca MB42X / PB42X  w/ Lepy 2020 Amp or self powered:

Then once you start to enjoy that stuff go and get yourself a DAC/AMP combo and you will really enjoy your audio experience but get used to the better gear first.

 

Good luck.
