Thanks for your suggestions everyone!
@Zed: Yes, that microphone/headphone setup would be ideal but it's well beyond my budget. Also I'm in Canada so the prices are insanely different. Those headphones you showed me are $800 on Amazon.ca although I'm sure I could find them cheaper if I did some digging
$800:
That microphone
$200:
That interface
My headphones are popping at me so I need a different solution, and unfortunately since I am also replacing mouse, keyboard, just bought a new rig, and now need to change out the headphones my budget is limited to $100 (ideal) to $150 (max) range. Although I do appreciate good sound, I think you have me +1 on the audiophile thing (I'm not as hardcore haha) - what do you think about the
mod mic? I was thinking about
pairing that with these or
these (although they are about $50 above budget already + mic spend so not so great on my wallet)or else
a pair of these. What's your take? Think I could get into a solution that would meet my budget or should I buy something on the cheap for now and save up?
