pricey, but the known leaders of gaming headphones for a reason.

I have a50's, but sometimes wish I had a40s for variosu reasons.
wireless is good tho, as I sometimes wear them around the unit and listen to music without distrubing anyone else.

Bahaha. If you were going to spend over $100 on a pair of headphones and the brand is astro, logitech or razer (etc) than you don't know better.

If you're going to invest decent money into a pair of cans, you have to get a studio brand. Why? Because they simply sound better and they're built to last, unlike astros which are renowned for breaking.

Shure SRH440 http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=445 They sound better than a40s and are built like tanks. They're also much cheaper and are a closed design too.

Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=178 These are an open design and sound amazing and are great for long periods of use. If you play any FPS games I'd recommend open design over closed design.

Beyerdynamic DT440 http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=5 Probably the best sounding sub $200 headphones on the market

Whatever you pick, just go for a studio brand, you won't be disappointed as headphones and sound is what these companies specialize in. If you need a microphone just grab a clip-on one, they cost like $10.
