Hello, I'm in need for new pair of headphones since my old ones broke. I don't need mic in the headset so I'd rather not waste money for that (e.g. no siberia v2). I play games like CS:GO so stereo would be required. I will get external sound card later. The price point I was looking for was around 100€. Also would like to ask whats the difference between gaming headsets and studio headphones? Does it effect gaming?

Gaming headsets are usually lower quality compared to studio headphones unless you have a large budget (which you have), personally I recommend going with the studio headphones setup since you will be getting the best quality overall in build, audio, etc. It also makes more sense since you don't need a mic, plus, you are getting a sound card later on - meaning even better audio. I use the Audio Technica ATH-M40x and the Blue Snowball as my mic and its definitely better than the many headsets I've tried.

Here are some headphones I recommend:

Audio Technica ATH-M50x (good deal) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50X-Monitor-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428863725&sr=8-1&keywords=audio+technica...

Sennheiser HD 558 (another good deal) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-HD-558-Headphones-Technology/dp/B004FEEY9A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428863922&sr=8-1&keywords=sennheiser+hd

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (great headphones) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyerdynamic-DT770-PRO-Headset-OHM/dp/B0016MNAAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428864204&sr=8-1&keywords=beyerdynamic
