Looking for headset for games (mostly)

DON'T get any gaming headsets from razer, logitech, steelseries and the like, if you want to get the most out for your money. The best thing you could do is to get the right headphone, and then mod it to have a mic or use an external mic. 

But if you really want a headset, you could get either the sennheiser pc360 or the beyerdynamic mmx300.

The COP is good for virtually everything. It's a very versatile headphone.

Very best,

Going to agree with Poetic on this one.  For a headset, the PC360 is excellent.  Great mic and sound; very similar to an easier to drive HD595.

I do still like MMX 300, but there just isn't enough information about it...
Have to figure the mic out trough...

I use to own the beyerdynamic mmx 300 with integrated mic. The Sennheiser Pc360 IMO was a little bit better because of it's soundstage/openback and pinpoint accuracy. and it's cheaper, on sale on amazon for $220.00. I use the Sennheiser PC360 along with my Astro 5.8mixamp. and occasionally ill switch it up with my AKG Q701. The AKGQ701, is  the best headphone for gaming i've ever used. But you lose out on the integrated mic. The sennheiser pc360 is more simple and the mic is crystal clear sounding. I hate clip on mic's although the antlion modmic is suppose to be superb.

Definately the PC360 or AKGQ701 for its amazing soundstage and accuracy :D

EDIT: You will probably need an external amp for the q701's :3

Especially for popular shooters Like Call of duty, Battlefield 3, you will really notice the immersion of the Q701's. Gun fire pinpointing in the most accurate directions. Even the clarity of the Q701's sound crystal clear. Now the Pc360's are no slack either, they bring a smoother approach and it sounds beautiful. I'm playing Black Ops 2 at the moment, with my pc360's with Dolby Digital on and everything sounds so open, clear and accurate. I strongly suggest the Pc360's or Q701's if you want the best. I promise you, you will not look back lol. I went through a bunch of gaming headsets in my past trying to figure out which one sounds the best. I only found 2, PC360's and the Q701's. and if you want a better version of the PC360's jump for the 598's :)

my choice of gaming headphones were from mad lust envy, who helped me in my search for ultimate gaming headphone precision.

Both 'phones should be somewhat neutral, but with a little less bass than you might like. Btw I don't htink there is a reason to go for a 600 ohm beyer over a 250 ohm beyer, just in case.
