I'm looking for good headphones for gaming. I am an extremely avid PC gamer and first person shooters are the name of the game. I had been reading around here and so far it seems like the Audio Technica A900's are pretty good.
I am looking for headphones that allow for EXTREMELY GOOD location/positioning of sounds (footsteps, gunshots, etc), and good sound quality is a plus. Having a microphone is also a good addition, but from what I have read all the good headphones are just headphones and that would mean I would have to get a separate table mic.
The main reason I am looking for some good headphones is because... I need good headphones. I fell for a gimmick (Zalmans anyone?) and at first I thought they were great but the more I used them the more and more I realized that it is nothing more than headphones with 3 speakers that all sound like they are coming from the same place. I was looking at the Speedlink Medusa 5.1 surround sound headphones for a while but I came here and saw everyone talking about as great as it would be to have surround sound headphones, its just not possible and in the end they don't sound very good and have overall poor positioning of the sounds.
So here I am, looking for a pair of quality headphones. Preferably something sub $300. The Audio Technica A900's are looking nice, but I would like to see if there are any other products I should look into. Remember: Good sound positioning is number 1. Good sound quality is a plus (I do like to listen to music). Having a microphone is a plus but definitely not required. Thanks a lot.
