I suggest Turtle Beach, Sennheiser, or Plantronics. I avoid Logitech at all costs because I've had too much of their crap break on me, but that's just my personal experience.

The Plantronics GAMECOM 367 http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/gamecom-367 or the Turtle Beach Ear Force Z1 http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/pc- ... ce-z1.aspx. it will more in-likely be one of those That I end up with. and to tell u the truth the gamecom367 looks a little less nerdy so it will probably be the 367..... unless there are any better ideas?

And a special thanks to Everyone That answered the ? Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_11

I wouldn't recommend the Sennheisers for gaming. I use speakers for gaming right now because I've started to get headaches when I use headphones, the Sennheiser HD series is excellent for movies and music. When it comes to games, headphones by Turtle Beach, Plantronics, Medusa, Triton etc. are so much better. I've compared a few of them with the Sennheiser HD555 which I used to use all the time when playing CS, and the positional audio was amazing on everything except the Senn. You don't need high end 5.1 models. The entry level models have really good positional audio which you will appreciate a lot. All I will tell you is that if you can, go and test some of those models and choose what feels right to you.

Turtle beach is pretty good for the price. The z1's should be descent

I recommend the Audiotechnica ATH-AD700 for gaming IMO. Here is also a thread you may want to read before you purchase anything. http://www.overclock.net/sound-cards-co ... dsets.html

The Plantronics GameCom 367 is the headset that I have. I loveee it. Very comfy and sounds amazing, though not as bassy as earbuds are going to be. However, earbuds are uncomfortable as F*CK.

Sennheisers are definitely awesome for non-gaming purposes. Plantronics and Turtle Beach have been the de-facto standard for gaming.

I fixed your link: http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/gamecom-367

Those things look pretty decent.

Yeah, they're a bit more than decent, though. I think they're excellent. Mine might be the older version of the 367 because mine looks identical to that link's, but mine has velvet fabric on the ears and head instead of that mesh fabric. Velvet is more comfortable, methinks.
