I got a Sennheiser Game One headset. I compared them to the Game Zero in store, and I preferred the Game One for comfort. Because of the open can design I can hear myself speak for the most part. The only issue is during loud moments of gunfire, explosions, etc.
I also looked at the Sennheiser GSP 350, which has a USB interface with built-in Sidetone. As far as I know these are closed design, similar to the Game Zero's. Not really sure what the difference is between the Zero's and GSP 350's are besides that.
My PC is built on an ASUS Impact VIII motherboard (ITX) which has a built-in "SupremeFX" sound-card. Not really sure how good/bad that is. I don't have a spare PCIe slot.
What I'm looking for is an external sound-card (or amp?) that can drive the Game One's and has live monitoring. I've been looking at Creative's options, but I can't find much on live monitoring, although some posts suggests creative does offer this on some of their cards.
Comfort and preference aside, would I be better off with the GSP 350's over the Game One's, or would an external sound-card/amp be a better option with the Game One's?
EDIT: I missed seeing the PC 373D's, which looks identical to the Game One's, but have the USB features from the GSP 350's. Should I switch to those, or get an external sound-card/amp?
