have better sound features/quality than my current sound card?

sound quality shouldn't be a factor
how much audio equipment you're trying to hook up to it is though

just a headset at the moment lol

so its probably negligible huh

your onboard is fine

or nonexistent even yeah
i dont recall sound cards having better 'quality' than onboard since the early 2000's, they have long ago fixed the issue of interference.
Nowadays it's just for audio engineers and whatnot, people who have elaborate sound systems and a lot of stuff they need to hook up

won't be able to tell the difference

If the Headset is USB it won't matter at all.



Really depends on what headphones you use, What software you want to use with the card, Unfortunately neither post detailed spec's at all.

link gives this
Realtek® ALC1220 codec
TI Burr Brown® NE5532P operational amplifier


Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5 + ALC 1220 120dB SNR HD Audio with Smart Headphone Amp
ALC 1220 120dB SNR HD Audio

The ALC1220 is a high-performance multi-channel High Definition Audio Codec with up to 120dB SNR for crystal clear audio and features such as Smart Headphone Amp, 114dB SNR recording for precise voice chats and hardware decoding of DSD128, ensuring users get the best possible audio quality from their PC.

This is my headset.

I'm thinking I won't notice the difference. If I was running speakers the sound card might be bettee

Which on its own is still pretty useless.

All depends on how the chips are implemented, The output resistance, mw @ x ohm

etc.
