what amp should i get for the sennheiser game one and ps4

[wfournier3]

i want to buy the sennheiser game ones but i want an amp to get the best quality from the headset. i was thinking of using the new astro mixamp tr to hook it up to the ps4 but im not sure which will be better the astro headset or the sennheiser headset with the mixamp. if the astro mixamp isnt good then what is the best amp that connects to the headset and then to the ps4 through an optical cable and usb, If this is too difficult, should i just go with the new Astro a40 trs instead?

This is a great amp: http/www.amazon.com/Pyle-Pro-PHA40-4-Channel-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B003M8NVFS/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1463352731&sr=1-2&keywords=head+phone+amp


But I have heard that a sound card is needed, not an amp. (sorry if this not what you were asking )

They have 50 Ohm impedance and a good SPL range, so they will sound good with many audio devices, including dated motherboards with onboard audio. However, for best performance you must use an USB DAC or a sound card with dedicated headphone amplifier, something like this:

http/www.amazon.com/Aune-Audio-192bit-Headphone-Ampli... ;

But personally I would just get the astro a40 trs's.

Hey thanks for responding, i looked at those amps and sound cards but still haven't decided, i want to ask if the better choice of a headset would be sennheiser or astros. which one would be the better option for gaming on the ps4 and pc. if i get the sennheisers then should i just go with the astro mixamp?
