Middle of the road headset?

[VaderDSL]

Have a very old set of Sennheiser PC360 that is slowly falling apart and it's time to replace them.

Currently have a Z170X-UD3 with Realtek® ALC1150 motherboard. It also says in the blurb it has a built in amp.

• Don't need a built in microphone.
• Prefer the big, cloth ear pads of the Sennheiser over smaller leather ear pads.
• Would like a replaceable 3.5mm cable into the headphones.
• Prefer open back, noise in/out not a concern.
• Not fussed about inline controls.
• < £200 budget.

Won't actually be used for high end audio, will mainly be for general PC use, spotify, games, videos etc.

I was looking at the Sennheiser HD599, I assume the onboard audio/amp is enough to drive them properly?

Cheers.

My old house mate has those and really likes them. He has an amp on his desk but I don't know if they are a necessity. Certainly wouldn't hurt

The HD 598 are available in black (if you're not keen on the beige 599), and would definitely be powered by your onboard audio
