New headset + Sound Card? Help needed.

[ObiWanJacobey]

Hey guys. Ive recently got a pair of ASTRO A40's with the mixamp. These things personally are terrible. Ive been doing some research and Ive come across two great looking (and with good reviews) headsets. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106685 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106686 The Sennheiser Game One (Link one, Open sound headset) and the Sennheiser Game Zero (Link two, Closed ear headset) only problem is you need a sound card to really get your money and %100 from these guys. The open ear headset has an input impedence of 50ohms and the closed has one of 150ohms. I want to get the closed ear headset, with the 150 ohm impedence, idk how all this audio shit works, but ive found this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132052&cm_re=AS... I was wondering if someone could tell me if these would work well with one another. For more info this is my motherboard I have, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA25V1YY2261&cm_re=ASU.... I wont be ordering these online, more rather going to my local microcenter and having them price match. Thanks for any help.

 

EDIT: I actually dont even know if thats my mother board, I must sound stupid. There are so many models of the ASUS P8Z77-V, Ive looked at my receipt and also my mobo box, none of which gave me the exact P8Z77-V model, like I said there are many...and I cant seem to figure out which one I have....

your mobo will do just fine for a headset of that level

This.

 

OP: And even in the unlikely case that your onboard turns out can't drive it loud enough, it's not too late to pick up a separate amp later.

Thanks for the replies guys...i still feel skeptical though, I cant really seem to find the specs for the MOBO onboard sound, I just feel like I need somthing to power these things cause they are so power hungry, not to mention alot of reviews and videos highly suggest a mixamp or decent soundcard to get the 'wow' factor out of them.

400Ohms are power hungry, 600 Ohms are power hungry, 180 is not any phone will power them just fine
