only thing that comes to mind is an external DAC for audio

Whats the difference between external DAC and the soundcard?

 

[LORDPrometheus]

an external DAC will support high end headphones not just headsets and gives a much higher audio quality. Headphones are headsets without a mic not using USB audio and usually a 7.5mm Jack for audio. They offer better sound quality and less software bloat. since you have an external mic it may be a good investment.

I will have a look, maybe going for Sennheiser HD 800 S, any recommendations for DAC?

 

[LORDPrometheus]

depending on your price range you can find one that works anywhere between 120 and 1200 dollars. some models can be used as an audio mixer for both your headset and a higher end mic so that may be something you look at as well. otherwise a good one is a Schiit Bifrost. but cheaper ones exist

I had a look and I think I will stick to gaming headsets, I will not buy a high end headset but thanks for the advice

 

[LORDPrometheus]

fair choice. only other suggestion is some beefy external storage for video archiving etc. Xsplit has some on the fly compression if i remember correctly but it can still fill up a drive fast.
