Hello,
My Steelseries Siberia V2 lost sound in the left can.
It's outside of warranty and while I might hobby may way into fixing it at some point, for now I want to buy something new and better.
I am currently looking at AKG 612/712. I am still visiting stores to try out sound and comfort atm, hope to find a place that does Sennheiser at least.
However, I have an audio setup I may need to consider.
Currently I have 5.1 sound coming out the of the back of my computer and my headphones plug into the front. VAC and voicemeeter makes that I have sound coming out of both at the same time.
I also stream/record stuff (or, hopefully will return to doing this when my schedule frees up a bit), currently though a USB Blue Snowball. If I do go back to this and grow it I may upgrade this to something non-USB that would require a pre-amp (and having a physical mute button wouldn't be horrible).
Considering the back of my computer will continue to put out sound to the speaker setup it appears to be recommended to have an amp for the headphones.
Summary: Need new headphones for gaming, streaming, music and movies. Plus possible amp/thingy (the amp/thingy is where I am really uninformed. I don't even know if the mic and heaphones would go through the same device.)
Questions:
1) Headphone recommendation around the €150 mark (yes, I know the 712 goes for 220, but it does sound so very nice)
2) should I be looking at a mixer/amplifier/thingy and if so: which one? (Consider that separate from the €150)
