Would the BEHRINGER U-CONTROL UCA222 be good enough to power Sennheiser PC350 Special Edition High Performance Gaming Headset?

So I have been looking for a headset and came across the Sennheiser PC350SEs:
https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PC-350-Special-2015/dp/B015ZKJIYI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480190166&sr=1-1&keywords=sennheiser+pc350
From what I have read these would be very good for gaming, but I'm kind of a noob when it comes to audio and people are saying I would need an AMP/DAC/Sound card. I don't really know what the best option is, but most of the devices seem like more than I actually need to get a good sound to come out of some headphones. Would this device here be enough to power this headset?:

The headset is 150 ohms.
Thanks for your help!

The UCA222 is a usb audio interface, it doesnt really "power" anything, it just acts as a converter from RCA to USB. I've owned one for years as an interface from my PC to my stereo amp, it works well, but it doesnt really give you any signal amplification or additional audio software if that's what you're looking for.
