Many people recommend this but I honestly for me personally the sound quality of the Cloud I are enough for what I do, and that extra comfort of just having the microphone and everything all in one ready to go is unbeatable comparing to what you mentioned.
I will not be using the fake surround, I don't really like that stuff.
The whole thing is if the CloudX, which costs just 50€, is worth it. It seems to be the same base model, AFAIK, with a few different add-ons (no USB, no surround, etc)

If it really is the same base model and your motherboard has good enough audio processing then it should be fine

I have a separate sound card and it seems to be okay.
Only issue is that the X is designed for Xbox so I'm not sure if it's 100% compatible with PC

According to Amazon it should work just fine. A seperate soundcard should be more than enough.

To annoy that one guy who posted on meme monday, have you considered the HD600?

Seems legit

The Cloud Alpha is the best of the line, the others of this line have some resonances in the mids. They can take EQ very well.

The cloud 2 was on sale for much less a while ago if I remember correctly. It's definitely worth it, but not for 80€ I would say. The fake surround sound sucks, stereo sound is solid (but as with any gaming headset it's far from good or great, but still quite a bit better than most other gaming branded products).
The cloud 2 should last for a while though, so even at 80€ it's probably fine. I'd say read a bit into how the sound of any of those models is. That's the most important part. Then you can decide.
I personally would save up for one of the cheaper Sennheiser open backs, slap a modmic on that and call it a day.
