Hi, I'm currently looking for a good gaming headset. From what I've read getting a good pair of headphones will do better than the top brand headsets they have out. If the sound quality is better, I'd def get headphones & a desktop mic over a headset. I'd like to hear where every1s at on shooters and such... I have a friend who has the tritton axpc he talks it up says the 5.1 is good and the bass is good... But from some reviews/forums I found that a good set of headphones under $200 would do better. Some I saw/that caught my interest were the ath-a900s, the beyerdynamic dt770s, & the sennheisers all had some good reviews. I listen to music but really I'm looking for the best gaming headset for what I can afford. If any1 has any suggestions for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Probably best to make a new thread about this one, but I'll try to help with what I can.
Forget those gamer headsets and 5.1 surround headphones. They will not sound anywhere near as good as a top quality set of normal headphones and a mic. What type of games do you play? The Audio Technica AD700 is great for gaming due to the soundstage and placement plus up-front presentation to make it easier to hear footsteps and gunshots and stuff, but they are lacking in bass which may take away from the experience a bit. IMO bass isn't really needed for gaming but you may think otherwise.
I have heard good things about the DT770 as well. There's quite a few threads on this topic so try searching.

I own a few sets of high end headphones, and for someone looking in the sub 200 dollar range for gaming, you can't do much better than the BeyerDynamic DT770-80s. Make sure you get the 80 ohm version, or you need a dedicated headphone amp. The DT770s are very comfy for long gaming sessions, and have ample bass for explosions n such. The bass is one of the DT770s strong points. Also they are closed headphones so that you don't bother other people. I recommend them highly, and I even often use them for music, even though I have AKG K701s. The bass in the 770s, is just that good.
Just asking for some of your opinions. In your opinion, what are the best damn
Closed Headphones
Open Headphones
IEMs
Earbuds
(Yuin PK1 probably takes this one.)
I haven't listened to enough headphones (or any Stax headphones ) to decide on all of them, but I must say that if the ER4's are better versions of the ER6i's (and from what I've read they are) then I can definitely say that IMO, the Etymotic ER4p/s are the best IEM's.
