Do I need an amp or soundcard for the Sennheiser G4ME ZERO Gaming Headset ?

Apparently they require alot of power and im not sure if my old gigabyte b85m-d3h motherboard can handle these. Thanks

the m50x's are overpriced. considering they are closed cans with very poor soundstage.. not good for gaming. while i have an m50s myself and love it for what it DOES do well i also realize its shortcomings. yes you can use it for gaming but the hd-series is better off. what they do best is good bass without sacrificing treble too much.

Thanks for this, Its good hearing opinions from actual owners.

depends on how much you like bass.. if you really like bass the dt770 is going to be better for gaming than the m50x (although also more expensive unfortunately). if you just want a little more bass than neutral the hd518 does this. if you dont care about bass at all, the 700x/adg1 would work great. likewise, if you dont give a hoot about bass then the game zero's would also work great.

Thanks for a very good all around review. I will pick up the ADG1's for gaming.

Whilst this was the best answer, It was not really the answer to the original question. I will go mark one of your earlier answer as best answer incase others want a response to the thread.
Thanks for your time!
