Unfadeable Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hey guys, I'm Unfadeable and I'm new here. I'm not sure I even have a basic understanding on how audio works.. I listen to it, and use it while gaming.. but I'm a real newbie to all the terminology.. But I'll try to explain my problem as detailed as possible.. Currently I have a Logitech z2300 connected to my MSI z97-gd65 mobo with onboard audio. One of the speaker membrames has ruptured, causing really distorted sound. So I'm in the market for new ones, but here is the thing: I have a budget of around 450 euro and I'd like a reccomendation on the following things: - Want a closed headphone for gaming (so I won't disturb others in the same room, was thinking ATH m50x) - New speakers, either fully replace the z2300 or just satellites etc.. (just for music, I'll use the headphone for gaming and watch movies in the family room on a Harman Kardon set) - Dedicated soundcard, amp/dac I appreciate nice sound, but I wouldn't call myself an audiophile (yet). Anyone here that could point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
dalethorn Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Crutchfield is probably the best bet for that range of product. Based on their catalogs, they seem very helpful. Link to comment
Unfadeable Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Crutchfield seems to be a website that sells speaker etc? I'm from the Netherlands, so I prefer to buy it locally or via Amazon. Got recommended the Sony MDR-100AAP, would these be better than m50x or Beyer 770pro's for gaming? Link to comment

But since you're in Europe, try HiFiHeadphonesUK - they are experts on gaming gear. And they have a forum too. Link to comment
