Hello, so i was thinking about buying a used pair of sennheiser HD-598 and a AntLion ModMic to go with it... It would actually be around 25 pounds cheaper then buying the sennheiser game one headset, allthough it would be a used pair of 598, looked pretty great on picture though, and seller claims hes only used it few times... I'll mostly be using it for gaming and music... Also i have integrated sound, mobo is a AsRock h97-anniversary edition... Will mobo matter in regards to what headset performs better in terms of sound? game one price = 169 pound vs 139 pound... Any advice/recommendation would be very much appreciated.
 
Solution
basically they are just about the same thing. i think the game one is more hd518/558 than the 598 but same family and general sound signature.

forgot to mention, i dont have much knowledge about standalone microphone / attachment microphones or whatever they are called, so if anyone have suggestions for a great reasonably priced mic, i'd very much appreciate that.

Edit. Any suggestions about other headset & headphone + mic combo is very welcome.

Thanks ahead!
