Ok, i got a kingston hyperX cloud gaming headset, but the sound quality is not as good as razer electra which i had previously. Everything is fine,but i wanted it to be a little bassy, it's just lacking that quality. I'm not using a sound card or anything, i guess my motherboard's sound is good enough? ( asus z97-a )
Also when my headphone is connected to the back of motherboard,it is showing as speakers,not headphones, does it need any settings?

Your hyperX's (60 Ohm)are double the ohms of the (30 Ohm) rezer electra. You might need to pickup an amp to get the most out of them. If they sound a bit flat or muddy to you it would be a good indicator of the need of an amp. On board sound doesn't give you that much oomph even though the z97-a has decent onboard audio.

Check out some of the ones listed here. You don't need anything too crazy. http://theroundingsound.com/best-headphone-amp-under-100/

I haven't tried any of these so check make sure you look for reviews before grabbing one. my personal setup is a sound blaster Zxr paired to a set of Sennheiser game one headphones and I couldn't be happier. Great for gaming and for music.
