Which headphone/headset do you recommend for Handout Interview?

Hello, I have an upcoming Google Handout Interview. Which headphone/headset do you recommend? Is it better to buy one with a microphone?

I recommend getting a really good Stereo NON gaming headset and adding the MOD MIC to it. best of both worlds. 5.1 and 7.1 in a headset is a waste of time. Quality is where it is at. For an Amazing experience I recommend the Sennheiser HD 650 or if on a budget the HD 600 or the Momentum HD 1 for Headset and make sure to get yourself the Fiio e10K amp/DAC to power these Bad boys and you will be in Heaven. Please Note it you have an Addon sound card like a Soundblaster Z it already has a 600ohm amp built in. If you are using onboard sound the Fiio is a must.

Thanks. What is 5.1 and 7.1? I am using a MacBook Proi so I cannot add sound card. In this case, are Sennheiser HD 650 or if on a budget the HD 600 or the Momentum HD still the best one? They seem to be quite expensive. How about those cheaper Logitech ones such as the G933 or H51/H340?

Is it better to get a wired version in case wireless connection fails in the middle of the interview?
