Gaming Headphones.

[JDMFSeanP]

Well I've been looking for some new gaming headphones since my old ones are eating it, and I've recently found the Astro Gaming headphones at PAX, but with a price tag of #250, its really ehhh...anyone got any good headphones to suggest that i can use for PC and 360 gaming?

Gaming headphones? Never knew you could get special gaming ones, I use ordinary ones...sorry cant help ya

Sennheiser HD555s. The best headphones ever, for any gaming and for novice audiophiles. Buy them, you won't be disappointed.

What do those run for? And do they have a detachable mic?

[Atty]

They are about $110 - $150.

They are amazing though, and they don't have a mic, but you can buy a USB desk mic or a regular mic around your neck, they are awesome. A lot of pro gamers use them because their situational sound is superb, I can hear people from any direction in CS:S easily, and even on my TV headphone out for Halo.

lawl, I have cheap ass logitech's with built in microphone that I got for 30 bucks, the situational sound is.....acceptable for me. I actually think sticking speakers on the floor works just as well as the headphoes though. mic is decent too.

E: Shoulda mentioned that wasn't a purchase suggestion, far from it.

[Atty]

No.

Get HD555s.

I want a headset not only for LAN gaming but also late night gaming, and to take to tourneys and look cool. I think I might bite the bullet and get some Astro Gaming A40's once my friend gets his and I test em out. Although I will probably wait for the wireless version of them before I buy.

HD555 or don't bother having hearing.

$45

They also have a headset. I have had a pair for about a year now and they've never failed and they seriously block out the noise. I mean, once you get into a game, that's all you'll be able to hear.

yes

[Mass]

No.

Get HD555s.

I didn't want him to get them...in fact just the opposite. shoulda made that more clear I suppose.

[Darkness]

why not try these (http://directron.com/51mz0275aa002.html)? Their $75

I have sennheiser HD205 and I am really happy with them, I would rather listen to music with them then listen to music off a speaker and they only were $50. I bet the HD555 are even more kick ass though.

Mine costed $15!
Best thing I ever bought!
They don't block out everything, but I'm fine with that!
