My current rig has an Asus Xonar Phoebus soundcard, using the headphone extender with Sennheiser HD 598 headphones attached. These headphones are REALLY awesome for music and movies, but I also have a Razer Tiamat 7.1 headset that I got a while ago, that I'd like to use for it's better bass and built-in mic (I prefer it to the Phoebus's desktop mic).

Problem is, I can't seem to calibrate the sound right, and I always end up getting frustrated and going back to my Sennheisers. I was hoping you guys might be able to help me with getting the best possible sound out, along with any tools or audio tracks I might use.
