Bought SHP9500 and VMODA BoomPro for gaming. Do I need anything else?

[malrats]

I've used gaming headsets for a long time now and finally wanted to give the other option a shot. I'm totally new to this. I have Razer 7.1 V2, Astro A40s, and SteelSeries Arctis 5. All closed back and I rely on mic monitoring to hear myself.

After a couple of years of recommendations, I finally ordered open back and a mod mic and am excited and anxious to try it out. I'm hoping to get better sound but still be able to hear myself (without mic monitoring).

My main question is will I be all set with the cans and the mic? I'm used to virtual 7.1 surround sound in games and I'm afraid that with these analog headphones, I won't have that anymore and will lose any edge I may have had, especially in shooters.

I appreciate any advice. Thanks.
