Wireless vs Wired Over ear headphones for PC?

[EzTec]

Hey guys so I think i know the answer already but i need to ask to be sure...

I am looking for a decent pair of over the ear headphones for my pc for gaming purposes... and I am looking for open headphones not closed.

I am getting an MSI Z97m gaming motherboard with "Audio Boost2" technology on the mobo already so plugging in a set of headphones would make it sound better than using a mobo without any audio help i guess.

I am trying to figure out if i get a wireless or bluetooth headset... I would expect to get 0 advantages from the onboard audio technology? I am thinking this because likely to be going through a bluetooth or wireless dongle I dont see how that would benefit over a wired set up.

Noobish question but just trying to understand

Yes, you are correct. If you go with a USB solution, it will bypass your motherboard's audio.

I would suggest a wired headset from Logitech or Corsair.

Actually looking into these SteelSeries Siberia v2.... on a budget not that high.... as far as i could tell their amazing! a lot of reviews on them and they come with a decent retractable microphone.
