Asus xonar stx or senheiser hd 555

[neyday]

i was wondering should i get an asus xonar esscence stx or sennheiser headphones. i have a x-fi sound card already not sure which one but came with my asus maximus formula III mobo

The X-Fi that comes with your motherboard is just an X-Fi xtreme audio which is an ok card but the ASus xonar essence will have much better sound quality.

what headphones do you already have?

i have the steelseries siberia v1 which is a headset but offers very bad bass and quality when i listen to music at night (to not wake my parents up)

and if i get the 555 myself my mom can get me the asus xonar dx for sure. I can choose a better card but it depends which ones u guys tell me about. im going up to an auzentech prelude maximum.

i think for teh best result at the end, i think itd be much better to get the sennheiser 555 first

and i did not tell u my situation. my bros sound is now gone due to me putting in a radeon 5850. as u may know it happens to some pppl that put in an ati card. So i swap my x-fi over and get a headset or sound card or both but the sound card not as good.
