Hi,
I'm looking for headphones with very good sound quality for music and gaming with volume control. They have to be comfortable to wear. I don't need a mic so I'd prefer headphones without one or with a detachable mic. I don't know if surround sound means better quality than stereo in headphones so I can't state my preference on that.
Additional question: Is a sound card / headphone amplifier worth buying or should I stay with the on-board sound card?
I've been using Creative Fatal1ty for a few years and they have pretty good sound quality I think but they are uncomfortable to wear for too long. Also the cable is really thin so it's been a bit damaged (no visible damage though) which causes the sound to be interrupted when changing volume and it's really annoying. I liked the volume control on the cable a lot though and it's a rather necessary part for me but sadly not all headphones have it.
