Do you have to have a mic boom? otherwise theres several decent goldring offerings.

hmmmm I could use the mic off the Logitech C510 HD webcam

I have heard good things about goldring's how do they compare?

Steelseries are good

go for Sennheiser's they allways make quality headphones

At current prices Goldring NS1000s or DR150s outperform pretty much anything else for the money. Slap a Sennheiser or Audio-Technica logo on either and you'd be paying about double for them, if not more.

Alright so out of the two goldrings which ones are best?
The NS1000 or the DR150?

I'm guessing the sanns USB one is the same as the pc330 they look it

The ns1000s are if you amp em

Right thanks for the advice.
I have decided to invest in a set of Goldrings NS1000s.
I know it sounds daft but I was wondering can I get them to do "virtual 7.1"???
When I had the Roccat Kaves, Dolby headphone sounded like there was an echo will this still be the case with the Goldrings?

Dolby Headphone is intended for stereo headphones/headset. Roccat's are multi driver, so they don't require DH or similar to create surround sound effect.

Cheers for that, So am I right to assume that the GR NS1000s will sound much better than what I previously had??

Update: I also ordered the Fiio E5 as well
