    Hi guys,

    Right so I currently have the onboard sound from my Asus P5Q-Pro MB and a Sennheiser HD 212Pro headset.

    I am sick of getting the cable of my headset trapped in my chair's arm rests and am looking for a wireless one.
    I am aware that they usually more expensive and of lower quality than their wired couterpart but I don't mind spending a bit more for the added convenience.

    I can spend quite long hours on the computer, mainly gaming, working, and ocasionally listening to music and watching films.

    So here is what I'm looking for:
    - Closed headset.
    - Best possible comfort.
    - Highest possible battery life but still comfortable to wear.
    - Inclusive mic not essential as my webcam works fine as a mic.
    - No USB as that would bypass the souncard apparently
    - No interference.

    Next I can't make my mind up on a sound card choice despite reading several reviews... debating between:
    - Asus Xonar DG (£25)
    - Asus Xonar DS (£35)
    - Asus Xonar DX (£55)

    Looking to improve sound quality overall and depending on my headset choice something that would go well with it...

    What would you guys suggest ?
