i have been using win 8 for past 2yrs no major problems at all
well all the old creative sound-cards had major drivers issues based on my own personal research, when i was interested in buying one sometime ago, Both Amazon.com & TomHardware Forums users had similar complains as you have, and the matter gets only worse in case of Windows 10.

& [MENTION=127279]mac007[/MENTION] get a small portable desktop DAC/AMP instead of a dedicated sound-card :D

I need to replace my Rx300 - they worked great for 4ish years but I broke it a few days back. My budget is 2-3K. They're mostly used for music and movies with my laptop.

Well in 2-3K budget range you can look at Steel Series Sibera V2 (Refurb) perhaps or i would strongly suggest you even getting a earphones/earbuds like Xiaomi or Fiio, instead of a headphone, as it would be hard to for you to find a good headphone in your price range.

Then use it mate, it is far better than a dedicated sound card!

My Gamecom 367 finally broke (in my bag - I slept on them :tv:).

I need a replacement. Currently deciding between Philips SHP9500 and Hyperx Cloud Core. Will be ordering tonight. Right now, I'm leaning towards the 9500 given they're compared to the much much more expensive Sennheiser HD600s.

============

Put in an order for a pair of V-Moda Crossfade LP (portable) and the Philips SHP9500 for home usage (since they're open). If things go smoothly, they should be here in 10ish days.

I'd recommend open headphones for gaming and anything really as long as you know you'll be in your room, not surrounded by people. They don't isolate sound, either way. So you'll hear things around you, and people around you will hear what's playing. The pros of these? Much better sound-stage. You can position sound sources much better.

Top recommendation for a non-portable open headphone in the 150USD budget is of course the Sennheiser HD598. However, the Philips SHP9500 is an excellent choice too, and is much much cheaper. Check out its reviews.

Bluedio is available on Aliexpress. They have decent reviews on Amazon etc. What's your budget?

About 3k , can go to 4k if qualities good and they deliver
Yeah Aliexpress is your best bet. They have a decent variety. Always check feedback and only order from sellers who have delivered a lot of orders (and has good reviews/feedback).

I recently saw someone sell some Jaybird X3s for 40ish bucks on ebay.. But most of the sellers don't ship to Pakistan so..

Try Allmytech they have many Bluetooth earphones and headphones and they perhaps might even provide some local warranty.

Got the beauties. Currently testing SHP9500s with my PC and boy do they sound exquisite, especially after some EQ tweaking.

Using the following settings:

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
