V-Moda M-200 Professional Studio Headphones - Hi-Res Audio, Matte Black - Perfect for Music Production, Gaming & Audiophile Listening

I had to dust off my 10 year old sound card with a proper driver with equalizers. I started out with the built in motherboard sound card and wasn't very impressed with the sound quality until I remembered I had an old SB X-Fi Titanium I bought in 2010. After hooking everything up, the sound quality is astounding. Before the sound card change, it was difficult to notice the difference between my cheap gaming headset and these; now there's no question.I can finally justify downloading 100MB+ songs. I've got a bunch of old .dts files and some other 5.1 music that sound incredible on these. Also just regular hd streaming video and music sounds much better.The detachable cord is really great, being able to switch which side the cable is plugged in is very convenient.I'm pretty rough on my equipment and these seem like they will stand the test of time.The ear cushions could be a bit bigger, after a few hours my ear lobes start to hurt a bit, but that may be a sound quality verse comfort level thing.edit: I'v since had a slanted third party review these connected to a mac book pro headset port vs the PC expensive sound card, and the PC won over a 20+ year MAC fanboy.
