I was thinking of buying a new gaming headset, and I have been looking at http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-audio/razer-tiamat-71 . But I have heard the drivers are awful and some bad reviews from it. I am not an audio expert, I am using integrated sound right now with http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-carcharias-for-xbox-pc . My main question is should I keep this headset and buy a new soundcard or buy a new headset (recommendations please) and keep the integrated sound. What would be best?

Thanks in advance! :)

P.S.
This is the motherboard that I am using for audo http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3853#ov

The best thing to do would be to buy a pair of inexpensive quality studio headphones such as the JVC HA-RX900.
Then, if you need a microphone, most if not all 15$ ones will sound better than the one on headsets.

Gaming headsets doesn't exist, it's just a name used to sell good looking junk for top dollars.
There are only 2 kinds of headsets, good and bad ones and the ones with gaming in front of them are absolute junk.
