I can't really help you but I do know that the m50x has no noise reduction.

Razer headsets (and most other "gaming" headsets) are very expensive and poor quality.

well he said he wants a gaming headphone, so why dont just buy a headset that has "gaming" label?

 I just need a pair of good headphones with noise reduction that will work for gaming under $200 most gaming headsets don't have that

If you want the best audio setup, for the price. Get what I have.

 

Audio Technica ATH-M50x https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50x-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR86/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1480054078&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=audio+technica+athm50x

 

They're an amazing pair of headphones and are very comfortable as long as you don't wear glasses.

 

and 

 

Blue Snowball Desk Mic https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Snowball-iCE-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B014PYGTUQ/ref=pd_lpo_267_bs_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0P098VT99FH87JDRTRYF

 

You can even get a arm mount for about $13 somewhere on amazon as well.

Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 80 ohms (this wrecks m50x anytime of the day) + modmic and you have a good gaming headset.

You don't need an amplifier cos nowadays motherboard are plenty to power the headphone.

Iirc @Dackzy has them and he is not happy with them, after a while that is. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

they are only overprice, has a very very little soundstage, bad highs and a bit muddy mids, pretty meh at best when we talk comfort

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M
