The HyperX Cloud II is your best choice. The Logitech G930 is known for having lots of wireless and audio issues, also I would say that it is poorly made.

So if your looking for build quality and good audio, the HyperX Cloud II is your best bet.

Hope this helps!

I have the Audio Technica ATH-M40x and it is a great audiophile headphone, I got mine for $88 on sale. Some other good headphones are the Sennheiser 280 Pro (on the heavy side), Sennheiser HD 439s is another good one that is not heavy, and the AKG K 240. Those are pretty much it.

What's your price range? Do you plan to use these headphones for gaming? The options you have are endless but I could help pick out a few based on your budget and audio preferences.

I looked at the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x and with a equlizer to crank up the base in a program i use i will probably
enjoy those whit my mic. I will use the headphones for: Gaming YouTube Music and more. My price range is about 100 - 200$

So I take it you're a basshead? Is the price range $100-$200 USD?

The m50x is a great pair of headphones and can be quite bassy if you eq them right. Although for not much more you can get the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PROs which are more comfortable, have greater bass presence than the m50x , and have a wider soundstage.

Whether or not it sounds better is subjective to your personal preference, but I would suggest the DT 770 PRO 80ohm for what you want. As described in madlustenvy's gaming headphone review on headfi, the 770s make for a great pair of headphones if you're looking to have an immersive experience. The m50x is more neutral and should have greater clarity,but the small soundstage and comfort would make me consider the 770 Pros in this case.

They can work without an amp, but to bring the best out of them you would need a decent headphone amp.

The lesser the impedance, the easier it will be to drive. I would recommend the 80 ohm since it's in the middle of the three and can be driven well with an inexpensive amp. Also the 32 ohm version uses pleather instead of velour ear pads.

Ok can i use a AMP and a DAC at he same time and if so is it worth it? And if i have that will it be better if i get a soundcard in the future. The AMPs specs says Maximum power 16 32 50 300 600OHms will it be able to driver the 80 then?

If the AMP can drive up to 600ohm headphones I don't see why it can't do 80. Onboard DACs have gone a long way over the years and I would buy a DAC if you're not satisfied with it currently ,such as if it has static noise, distortion, crackling problems, etc.
