Hey guys,

I'm looking for the best gaming headset with or without a mic. Also should I get a sound card with the headset or would an amp be just fine ??? maybe both ??

Sorry I'm not the greatest with computer's I just love my video games :)

I can spend up to around the $350 range as a bundle or even just on the headset if it's worth it.

Thanks in advanced !
 
Solution
They have a fairly low impedance of 42ohms so an amp wouldn't be needed to drive them. A soundcard is just a DAC with possibly a virtual surround sound software. It will not affect the bass assuming your onboard DAC is decent.

If you wanted to hear more bass you could play around with your equalizer and mimic a bass booster preset.

EX: Here's what my current bass boost settings are
