Looking for some headphones + sound card

[Bloodyvalley]

Hi,

 

 

I'm looking for some headphones that I could find at a store such as Best Buy or Future Shop and also a sound card (I have a computer store near me so that doesn't matter, it doesn't have to be @ Best Buy or whatever)

 

My budget is around $100 for both

 

I like my bass A LOT so please get me one with a lot of bass

 

I mainly play games and listen to music so I would like my experience to be better since I am using Apple earbuds right now =[

 

I live in Canada

 

My motherboard is a ASRock Z77 Extreme4, I don't know if that has good onboard audio. I'd like a surround headset so I can pinpoint the direction of a shot

A soundcard and headphones for $100?

You're going to have a hard time finding a combination.

Get ATH-M50s.

[Bloodyvalley]

I can stretch it to $150 if needed

You don't need a sound card.

 

I think AKG K240's and HD 518/558's are at best buy. Get those.

Which one out of those three should I get? I come from Turtle Beach X12s so I'd like one that is better than those beautiful headphones that had to break =[

K240's if you listen to a lot of music, 518/558's if you game more.

[Bloodyvalley]

K240's if you listen to a lot of music, 518/558's if you game more.

I do both....

[bowleggedcat]

I do both....

 

Then buy both the K240's and 558's and see what you like best.

Not sure if you will like the HD 558's if you want a ton of bass...

 

However, they are great for games since they are an open style headphone and have a huge sound stage...

Then buy both the K240's and 558's and see what you like best.

I don't have that kind of money

[bowleggedcat]

I don't have that kind of money

 

Buy both and return the one you don't like...

I would probably recommend getting a headphone for $100 or so and seeing how it performs out of your motherboard, that should tell you if you need anything else.

Buy both and return the one you don't like...

Can't do that if the box is opened
