mic and headphone help

[Xx_walmarthotspot_xX]

I recently got a Blue yeti x and i've been using my old Astro A50s to monitor and get audio, and now that i am not on console I want to get some studio style headphones.

I currently have my eyes on the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x but i have 2 questions.

1. is the 1/4 plug necessary, and if it is what do i need?

2. could my mic handle it or would i need something like a audio interface?

1/4" plug is not required, adapting from one to another doesn't make any difference.  The only difference a connector can make is if it's balanced or if it's poor quality.  1/4" just feels nicer in my experience.

 

I'm not certain what you mean by "could my mic handle it".  Typically a mic doesn't require anything special other than onboard but I'm certain there are benefit's to an interface.  I run a mod mic onboard, everything else external.

Not that I'm aware of, I wouldn't worry about it at all.
