Do i need a sound card?

I am using a intel D975XBX2 motherboard, and I am getting these headphones http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106328

Would i need a sound card or do you guys think that my motherboard will deliver a good performance with those headphones?
I can't tell you what would/should sound good to you so I'd say try the onboard audio and see how you like it. If it's sufficient for you then you won't need a sound card.
 
I expect you'll find a budget soundcard won't offer much improvement but a higher end soundcard will. If you're overclocking a soundcard becomes a better idea.
 
I thought the integrated codec on my mobo was decent until I bought a Sondigo Inferno in an impulse buy.

Haven't regretted that decision :D
