Hello guys, thinking about starting a project for a solid gaming headset. What I am wondering is what is a good baseline headphone or headset to work with?
 
$20.00

This might work has replacable ear pads and looks sturdy enough to survive modding. What are your guys thought on these for a project?

Well my headset will be coming in a few days now... Since no one responded to my thread ill be the guinea pig and hope these headphones work.
 
I have spare brainwavz earpads floating around hoping they will fit. The specs on the headset are http://www.hamiltonbuhl.com/store/products/9236/HamiltonBuhl-SchoolMate-Deluxe-Headphone-with-Boom-Microphone so we will see how they sound first.
 
I am going to assume I need to replace the driver with something better... hoping http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/361267630825?item=361267630825&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466&rmvSB=true I think this would work well.
 
Also can anyone recommend padding for the headset? I suppose I could find some memory foam cut it out into strips then wrap it in cloth or leather. Maybe this will work ... http://www.suntekstore.com/goods-14009461-black_headband_cushion_comfort_pad_for_sennheiser_hd-series_headphones.html
 
I will report back with more photos ect... later.

Otherwise a pair of Superlux HD660 are easy to mod,  cups & headband coming with the headphones are bad quality but they can be replaced for beyerdynamics ones and then just add a mic,    They are very good sounding for the price
