Fantastic OP btw.

I use the Siberia v2 from Steelseries. http://steelseries.com/products/audi...ies-siberia-v2
You can find them pretty cheap on ozgameshop.com or really anywhere else.

If you are looking to go up to $250 then look at some sennheiser headphones as they are easily the best out there, albeit more expensive.

hmmm might try v2 is it cheaper than 7h?

[Antel0pe]

If your looking for surround sound get a gaming headphone, if you just want good sound, get a decent pairs of AKG, or Audio Technica

Siberia v2 is pretty good, I'm planning to get that when i can rustle up the money. For now I'm using my gamecom 367, it's got a mic and it's doing great for me so far, pretty cheap too, at $60.

Hey, me too! I can also vouch for an above average headset with extremely good durability for well under $100.

you want a great set of cans just drop the cash and get a pair of these.

by far, one of the best headphones in the price range, great for gaming, music and other multimedia purposes. also, they are comfortable as all hell.

if you want to have voice as well, just get a zalman clip on mic, they're not more then $15.

^^ Something like this. ATH-M50 is also really good. Plenty of super good headphones for <$250 (Shure SRH-840, AKG K272 (sometimes), some ultrasones) and that's only listing closed back (means they don't leak sound everywhere). There are plenty of good options in the open side if you don't want to take them out in public/won't disturb anyone near you if they can kinda hear what you're listening to... (AD700 as mentoned, Beyerdynamic DT 440, AKG K540)

new siberia v2 frost

[AssyrianKing]

This post tells me that it is time for me to get some new headphones :P

Love the Gamecom 780.USB only, Really good padding, really loud, nice virtual surround sound, blocks outside nice pretty good. I can only just hear my mech keyboard if i press the keys hard.
I have a pretty small head and ears so there isn't too much pressure on my head, but it can be uncomfortable for some people.
about $85 or so bucks.
Best to get a list of headphones and try them in stores before buying them, though.

Don't be afraid to look outside the 'pro-gaming' niche for products.

I bought a pair of seinheiser gaming headphones and they are probably one of the best things I have ever bought. They have fantastic sound quality, and even more importantly, the mic is far and away better than anything on the pro-gaming headsets I have tried.

[BearPack]

I'd suggest buying a REALLY nice pair of Audio-Technicas or KRKs, and putting a velcro dot on them that you can attach/deattatch a small, cheap $15-20 microphone to. Sound quality is MUCH better than a lot of "gaming" headphones.

If, however, you have your heart set on headphones like that, Have a look at gamecom's selection of headphones, or if you're willing to spend a lot, check out the new razer ones.

	|Erasmus|:	I've owned and didn't terribly like the senn's in that price range compared to some other headphones i've heard.
	JiNxXx:	mm I'm with eras here, if you're dropping $250+ don't waste it on seins.
