Hi!

I'm currently looking for a new headset and i have a budget around 150$ to 250$...
I really like the earcups on the Logitech G430 and the SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Edition....

I got a Razer Taimat 2.2, and i don't like it, too much bass....

I prefer the 7H Fnatic instead but it broke :(

As said i'm gaming and listening to music alot

My only concern with not getting a sound card with the G4ME ZERO's, is they require a headphone amp. Now, some motherboard claim to have a headphone amp that can power up to 600 ohm drivers (however, generally only on the front panel), but I didn't see anything on ASUS' website about an amp on that motherboard.

Now, every motherboard will have a headphone amp of sorts, just most are not that powerful. You can try using the headset with on-board audio and if it doesn't work or is very quiet, you could invest in a cheap sound card with an amp like the Xonar DG or DGX.
