[DGTC TM]

Would I need a Sound card if I wanted to use Wireless Headphones?

Thank you in advance

no

no

now, after the dramatic effect, im gonna give the actual answer.

no wireless headphones will fit a sound card, because they use usb, and sound cards have 3.5mm inputs.
also, if it somehow did use 3.5mm, most modern (few years or so) pcs have onboard soundcards that are good enough for most users.

sound cards are only for very very very specific use cases. there are also only a few left on the market.

So when I start building my new PC, I don't need a sound card?

no
the people who need, not a sound card, but an amp and dac are people with super high end, open-back expensive headphones that are hard to run.

any gaming-normal headset will run just fine on onboard
