    Recommend me some headphones

    Wasnt sure to put this in Audio Visual or here, but as i use them for gaming on the PC i thought here would be good

    Righty, I'm after some recommendations for a set of decent headphones as the ones I've got at the mo A) Cut off the blood supply at the top of my head after 30 mins and B) are probably louder to the person not wearing them.

    Not interested in brand, just want good quality - mostly for FPS's and Racing Sims.

    So, whaddya reckon for £30-£60?

    TIA!

    had this thred a little while ago if you do a search I ended up after alot of recommendations getting plantronics 90's - they are very good with a mic excellent pickup and noise cancelling microphone and the sound is good using an audigy soundcard, with the card at full blast I get above average sound effects

    seinheiser do very good headsets but i couldnt find any available on computer sites at all they all seem to be sold on music specific sites and some of thenm had dodgy reputations for delivery etc. seinheiser are best but the plantraonics are definitely above average and the mic is excellent.

    Beyeraudio 231s for me, although I've also got some Senny 210s which are nice as well. Have a look at some Grado headphones too. Best thing to do is get yourself down to Richer Sounds or some other hifi shop and test them as fit and sound etc is very subjective.

    If you want attached microphone then I recommend you try the Senny PC130/PC150's. Best headset I have ever had and much better build quality than the "disposable" Plantronics models.

    I agree with the above although the 90's are not the disposable £20 kind very robust and well made also v comfortable unfortunatley plantronics also make cheapy sets which tar their better efforts at headsets like the 90's.
