Kingston HyperX Cloud is pretty good combo, its rebabged Takstar Pro 80 which are pretty awesome sounding cans for "gaming" cans.

Superlux HD668B + ModMic suits your budget


Nothing can beat Superlux sound performance in its price, but you need AKG velour pads for them to be comfortable, the cans are awesome when you have them tho but those pads costs same as the cans Very Happy.

the pads are around ~20 euros i think. and yes its much if the headphones "only" cost ~35 euros.

but still thats inside his budget. ofc the modmic is expensive, but can always be used again when he decides to upgrade into the ~150 euro headphones league (like the dt 770 pro).

what soundcard do you use? dedicated doesnt always mean better than onboard crap Razz headphone amplifier?

there a still a few different models of that card. but none of them has an extra headphones amplifier build on. not necessarily needed for the superlux headphones, but i wouldnt use headphones like the dt 770 without one. many modern soundcards have a special headphone output with buildin amplifier, but doesnt matter here now. as i said: would go for the superlux + modmic if you might go for better headphones in the feature.

if not -> the Kingston HyperX Cloud isnt bad either. the from it mic is kinda a "gaming-mic". its good enough but not really good

so I found SUPERLUX HD668B for 30eur, as I understand the mic is a separate product, and costs another 30-40eur? and the pads are another 20eur

I'm more inclined to go with a single ready product..

I also found a Creative SC Soundblaster Audigy RX that comes with 600om headphone amp for 70eur

there is also a Asus Xonar Essence STX PCI-EX with High Fidelity Headphone Amplifier - Texas Instruments 6120A2*1 (120dB SNR, 100dB THD+N @ Vcc12V, RL=600?, f=1kHz) for 170eur.. but it's for 1/4" jacks Shocked

The Essence should have a 3.5mm adapter in the package. My ST did. It's a pretty good soundcard if you are willing to pay for it, but at that price one can argue that it would be better to invest in a DAC/AMP.

you budget is 100 euros and now you coming with 200 euros soundcard? Razz the essence stx (ii) is great. wouldnt bother with the audigy rx though

you should be fine with the superlux + mod mic or just get the hypercloud stuff. a 200 euro soundcard is a waste of money for both of them

sure they offer international shipping via usps (takes about 2 weeks though and costs 12 usd). problem only could be if you have to pay importat taxes, in that case it might be even more expensive as ordering it for 60 euros (+ shipping)

54 vs 60eur, it's not worth the 2 weeks wait..

are those pads the one that you guys recommended for the headphones?

found it in the UK for 54eur

Since I was gone for a long time, here is an update on my setup:

I discovered Koss Portapro. This cheap headphone is SUPER GOOD. Especially with e10k. They are surprisingly bassy and great for all listening. Music, games, comfort. Best headphone I have ever owned somehow.
And when isolation is a concern or I want more detailed music, Brainwavz hm5 is the way to go. It's an endgame until something like portapro will be wireless !
Highly recommend

its the realtek software, might work without special drivers and with the build in from windows (depends on the realtek chip) but if you remove the software you loose all options you have via that thingy (maybe switching output pots, or some mic related stuff and whatever). and cmon, its 300mb... 16gb ssd build in or what? Very Happy

I would not uninstall the realtek drivers. Your shitty onboard sound and speakers will need the software later on, even if you just want a tiny bit more of bass. The realtek software isn't that bad.
