Hello. Im looking for new headset wich would be better than my HyperX cloud 2. I have them for 3 years and I can not complain but while ago I tried Sennhiezer 4.40 BT and It sounded much more full. I really want to listen to music at max quality. So Im asking more experienced people to tell me better audio solution. My price range is 200USD but watch out because Im from EU so there are really different prices. Btw as mtb I have Gigabyte X470 gaming 7 Wifi.

Almost every type of music. More like I dont listen to electro, rap and death metal but If it matter I listen toi these bands or singers Aimer, Lisa, One ok rock, Asian kung-fu generation, Flow, SawanoHiroyuki, Green day, Offspring, Poets of the Fall  but to make is short in the end I change music type a lot and now when Im thinking about it in 99% there is always some type of guitar.

Yeah the HD 58x is great. Since you don t have an amp kinda limits your options a little bit. So first of what online stores can you use send me a link.so I know what you have access to

M50x are not very good. 990 are great for gaming but can be too sharp for music. The dt770 32 ohm would be a better pick imo not as sharp as the dt990 but way better than the m50x

No it doesn't have a mic. but of you have a Valhalla I would assume you already had a good headphone. And personally wouldn't use tubes for gaming.

I dont need mic :)))) Im gonna buy separate + for some time I will buy extension for Cloud 2 mic and use that :D I dont have any experience with this but do headphones for music suck in gaming? I thought most of the time "gaming" is just marketing. Even If they suck I could use Cloud 2 for competetive gaming.

Depends on the headphone is use my 990 and 58x for gaming but which both are great in. I think the 990 is alittle better than the 59x as it has better imaging and a wider soundstage but overall the 58x is also really great.

+ I really like that design. :))) Ok than 990 it is but what about my on board audio? Is it good enough?

The 990 600 ohm you need at least a hundred dollar amp fr.monoprice, schiit, geshelli labs or JD's labs. Which is a big importso will add up, I don't know what your trying to show me with that second link though

For the 250 ohm and 600 ohm models no it's not good enough, try to find the 32 ohm or the 80 ohm.

I forgot to ask. Is it even worth it? Isnt this to much for mainstream? 

For a 990 600 ohm or 250 yes it worth it you can't hear anything without an amp. Also I don't know what you mean as mainstream...
