AKG K612 Pro or?...

Hello :)

My current audio setup for my Pc is an Astro A40 with the 2013 mixamp. However, I'm actually mostly into games with good music like FF:XIV, rather than competitive FPS games. So I'm looking for headsets that are good at that, since I heard the Astro A40 isn't really that good for audio quality.

I've been looking a bit around, and among some other headsets, I found AKG 612 Pro and Sennheisers 360 to be good all-around headsets. Which one of these, or others if there are better ones, would you recommend? My budget is around 200$, but not the maximum, and I don't need a mic, since I have an AT2020 mic.

Also, my mixamp is connected to the Asus Xonar DX sound card with optical cable. When I get my new headset, will my headset sound better if I connect it to the mixamp or directly to the sound card?

Thanks so much!! :D

Go right to the DX, I expect it has a better DAC than the mixamp.

Forget about headsets as most of them are garbage. Buy a good set of headphones and use a mic attachment. I have the AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition headphones. They were essentially the early release of the K712 Pro. I love them. They are very versatile and perform very well with anything you throw at them.
