Hey guys, as this headset is fairly low priced, I was wondering whether I would see a huge difference in sound quality by purchasing an asus xonar. I couldn't give two shits about music quality, just if I can hear footsteps and sounds that I wouldnt hear as easy or at all with onboard sound. I am using an asrock z77 extreme4 If that helps. I will pretty much be strictly using a headset/headphones.

If i benefit from a sound card, what one shall i get without breaking the bank?

I have these and use my 7.1 surround on board and they're great I can hear footsteps, bullet tracers/location. I'd save the money. Plus they're on sale right now.

Or at least wait and see what you think before you buy the sound card, also get the stero siberia's the usb have a 7.1 emulator, bypass the bs and go straight to the stero input.
