Would I be better off getting a mid priced sound card and mid headphones or a better sound card but lower quality headphones?

then get the dragonfly usb dac(digital audio converter). and as long as your not buying one of those trendy popular brand headphones and your looking at real headphone maufactures then you will enjoy.

many people like to use the dragonfly usb dac as it puts out very superior audio quality plus it is small and mobile and can be quickly plugged into any computer. a dedicated sound card is more for home theater stuff. what headphones are you looking at? i can tell you that for sonic clairity a simple pair of audio technica ath-m50's are going to sound better to an expert than the top of the line beats headphones. you can get a dragonfly dac for about $125 and you can get the athm50's for about $125 also.

Well good headphones are just going to magnify crappy sounds...garbage in garbage out, but bad headphones wont make anything sound good. Id say try to do both if you can but the headphones will make the bigger difference.
