So my father has gone to USA and i am thinking of buying a headphone from there for about $100 or under. Maybe something like Audio Technica ATH-AD700 or ATH M50 or Sennheiser HD280. Now i would be primarily using them with my laptop (Dell XPS 15) for music and movies and some gaming. (I also own Sansa CLIP+, but then they wouldn't be able to drive them, would they?)
So my question is will my laptop be able to do justice to it ? or do they sound better with dedicated sound card. So does it make sense in buying them? I am no audiophile, just want a nice pair of headphones.

Or should i go with something cheaper, maybe like ATH-M30. But I already own a Sennheiser HD203. Would the improvement justify the investment? Like i said i am no audiophile.
Thnx in advance.
