i don't have an audio card and my mother board is ASUS maximus vi hero
so please give me your suggestion of what is the best headset there is available for purchasing
Thanks a lot
 
we need to know what your maximum total budget is.... or at least an estimate of what you would be comfortable spending.

otherwise... we could be suggesting $4000 headphones (stax 009), $5000 amps (blue hawaii se) and $4000 microphones (akg c12 vr). sound quality will be as good as you will ever get it... but for $13,000 not including the audio interface the mic needs... it ought to be.

i'm only guessing here... but likely you want to spend a more reasonable $400 or under for everything including a soundcard if needed. you need to let us know so we dont have to guess a budget.

also a few questions...

-what kind of sound profile do you like? (bass heavy and treble light, treble heavy and bass light, neutral, bass and treble heavy but recessed mids, prominant mids with recessed bass and treble, etc)

-open or closed design? read my guide section on types of headphones to know the difference.

-must it be a headset or are headphone+mic combinations acceptable?

-are you opposed to getting a soundcard or amp?

-is virtual surround important or not?

-is this for pc or console or both?

-will this be for pc gaming only or do you watch movies or listen to music on them as well?
