I own a laptop with only onboard sound and want to upgrade my headset and thus I require a sound card/amp? any knowledge on external sound cards or how to use a regular sound card with a laptop would be greatly appreciated. :)

lol yes they are but you need to choose carefully :)

here is the best low budget one for you :)

Asus Xonar U7

https://www.asus.com/Sound_Cards_and_DigitaltoAnalog_Converters/Xonar_U7

dont get any lower :)

this thing is 114 db SNR :) every 3 SNR more means double sound quality soo keep that in mind , hint : never get sound below that !!!

and if you want to go CRAZY , here :
