Hello everyone, I'm quite new to audio equipment in general, so I'm honestly at a loss for what headphones and microphone I should get.
I want to record games, as well as listen to music, without too much loss on either end. I do not want a headset, the microphones on those generally don't do it for me in terms of quality.
I've looked around a bit already, and I've considered a Blue Snowball mic (the Yeti is a bit too big in my opinion, so that one's out), although as I mentioned, I have no idea if that's considered good quality or not.
In terms of headphones, perhaps Sennheiser is a good option, though again, no clue what model I'd want. I'd prefer closed (I don't want my audio leaking out too much).
I don't think I can get a dedicated sound card, considering I only have a laptop (don't quite have the money for a decent desktop), but do correct me if I'm wrong.
Feel free to suggest items that go above my budget. I'll consider them just as well if they're great quality.
