I don't use HP as you miss half the experiences, not "feeling" the music only hearing it and not in a way that a speaker system can deliver. My son had a $355 set of Sennheisers and swapped them out for a Logitech G930, mainly because ever time he stood up, he ripped them off his head. He expected a drop in sound quality but it never materialized.

No you don't need anything else.

Plantronics Blackwire C720 - professional-quality voice, optional bluetooth (or have the bluetooth connected to your phone whilst using USB for the PC - you can use the inline remote to mute PC and answer BT with one press) and really really good music quality. I use mine for work calls during the day and music / gaming on downtime. Very lightweight, easy to wear for a long time, excellent kit.

If you're looking for the best audio quality, headphones are the way to go, but with headphones you'll also have to spend a bit on a decent mic. If you're okay with decent - pretty good audio then a headset would be the other option.

Here are the top 2 headphones near your range:

Audio Technica AD500X - https

Sennheiser HD558 - https

/www.amazon.ca/Sennheiser-HD-558-Headphones/dp/B004FEEY9A/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458061679&sr=1-2&keywords=sennheiser

Both of these headphones are open meaning you'll have a wide soundstage which is good for positional audio. The only downside is that there will be some to little loss in bass. Both of these don't require amps or anything and will work with other mobile devices. As for headsets here are a few:

Steelseries Siberia V3 Prism - https

/www.amazon.ca/SteelSeries-Siberia-Prism-Gaming-Headset-Cool/dp/B00O07QAJE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458062102&sr=1-1&keywords=steelseries+headset

HyperX Cloud II - https

/www.amazon.ca/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-Headset-PS4/dp/B00SAYCXWG/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458062210&sr=1-2&keywords=hyperx+cloud+2

Logitech Artemis Spectrum - https

/www.amazon.ca/Logitech%C2%A0G633-Artemis-Spectrum-Surround-981-000586/dp/B013P0K8OE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458062329&sr=1-1&keywords=artemis+spectrum

All of these are good headsets but the top 2 are the Sennheisers you mentioned and the Logitech.

Hope this Helps!

I'm looking for good headset around 200$ ! I am looking at the sennheiser game one headset but also I heard that hyperX is good bang for the buck.
I just have no idea what to go with !
