Cloud 2 vs Alpha vs Sennheiser HD 579

[tehMaestro]

Alright, guys, normally this would be an easy question but due to the circumstances here you guys will understand why I'm asking this. 

 

So for starters, I don't have a soundcard or anything like that and my onboard is from an Asus P7P55D, yeah I know its quite old. There is a local shop here who is doing a promo so the 2 hyperX headsets would go for 85€ each and the Sennheiser is down to 100€ from 189€. I am realy clueless about sound in general but Ive always heard plenty of good about Senheisers, the thing is like I said my sound in onboard and I'm pretty sure I would need a soundcard or a dac or amp for the Senheiser even for the Alpha right? As why the cloud2 is in the question because that one comes with usb soundcard.

 

Also I dont realy need a mic, I have a RODE NT USB and my current headset is a SteelSeries Siberia Elite Prism.

 

Thanks for the help and which one of the 3 should I get?

I use a pair of cloud 2's, and theyre fantastic - even the mic is somewhat decent for a headset. 

 

Super comfy, have fair sound with some bass. Though I wouldnt recommend using the included dongle.
