Can any1 recommend/suggest me a headset, mainly for gaming + music.

Budget around Rm250 more or less.

Totally agree with you. Just that comparatively, I think Kave is slightly heavier than the others.

the True 5.1 is superb. I bet with a better sound card it would be even better, imho of course.

Sure thing. Unless your a person whom is very particular about sound quality, then the audiophile cards is for you.

I got my Asus DG with Rm39 (Original price Rm139) discount at Cycom, bought it especially for the Kave. LOL

Yea it was, was kinda desperate when i bought it. So, i bought it out of necessity.

Initially, I was hunting for Asus Xonar D1 / D2X, went scouring all over LYP, most of the major shops told me "OUT OF STOCK".

The Headphone AMP feature kinda caught my eye.

If you were to compare the Creative Sound Blaster 5.1 VX vs Asus Xonar DG, the DG is the winner hands down.

Really worth the money, if your on a budget.

Cant really comment about the V2 though, looking at it prima facie..... No 5.1?

Theres like quite a number of Kave in Melaka. Untouched and unspoiled, like kesian no one wants em. LOL

And the ear-pads are damn comfortable!

Guess so, i think Melaka doesnt have the market for gaming peripherals. You name it, Razer, Steelseries, Roccat.... All for display only, cuz no one bothers about em. Some shops that i know, even giving outrageous discounts. Eg. Roccat Kova, RRP is RM 190+, the shop was selling for only RM 150.

I bought mine, 2nd hand (1 week old ONLY) = RM220

Full warranty.

In Melaka, you can either go Stygix, PcSpec (Both at Bukit Beruang) or Takana Tech (Batu Berendam)

Stygix will give discount if you buy in bundle/combo.
PcSpec , letting go of their Roccat stock, just talk to their boss nicely then confirm alot of discount.

Wow! That was fast. You wont regret buying it, for sure!

Congratulations, bet you felt like a new dad or so.
The weight issue takes time for you adjust be used to it.
Other than that, a great headset beyond the shadow of doubt.

Enjoy it, bro!

Do you have speakers too? Or are you using the headphone most of the time?
Cuz IINM, DG is a product targeted for Headphones.

Honestly, after i got my Kave + DG, my speakers became redundant. LOL

I think DG would be better because it has a built in Headphone amp.

If you want more power, then get the big brother, Xonar STX ( Do note that STX doest not support 5.1, unless you get Xonar ST or HDAV1.3 with H6 Expansion to substitute)
Example : http://www.guru3d.com/article/asus-xonar-e...deluxe-review/4

Other options are D2X and D1. Sorry, I might sound bias.

Cant comment about Creative cards.

DG v SB 5.1 VX? DG would be the obvious winner. If I were you, just save up for now, don't need to rush, because you already have a mobo which can support 5.1.

Save up and get even better sound card like perhaps D2X.

Its definitely an option, but still it all comes down to personal preference and budget.

You should.... To maximize the Kave`s potential.

If its good now, with a new sound card, imho it would be even better afterwards.

My personal preference would be Asus Xonar.

Xonar STX is like a reference standard for headphones, just that it cant support 5.1 ( Have to get either ST or HDAV1.3 with H6 expansion for 7.1 support).
http://www.guru3d.com/article/asus-xonar-essence-stx-review/

DG is a budget headphone card. (supports 5.1 + built in headphone amp)

D2X is an all rounder card. (support 7.1) = http://www.guru3d.com/article/asus-xonar-d2x-review/1

Do note also that, some of the more higher end Xonar cards(e.g. D2X) require pci-e slots and direct power source from your PSU.

Sorry, i cant comment much about Creative cards.

Totally up to you, bro. It actually, "virtually" shifts the position of the speakers. Try it out, quite fun actually.

It all comes back to personal preference and budget. But imho, Kave is still the best buy.

Tiamat, have to wait until its arrival to be sure.
