Headphones for PC use

[defty]

Currently I am using the Shure E2C's but there is too much noise coming from the PC to the headphone. Anyways its not all that comfortable to watch a dvd with a pair of earbuds so I was hoping you guys could give me some useful advice on which pair of headphones I should pick up that is the best bang for the buck. Ive had the Grado SR125 before and found them to be pretty good especially for music but they became very uncomfortable after only about an hour of use and so is the reason I returned them. I already have a dedicated audio system and the headphones are just for late night fragging, dvd watching or music. I dont spend more than $1k on individual hifi components because honestly I dont think I can even tell the difference with my ears.. I have the same opinion on headphones but bordering at the $100 range. Unless it is an exceptional pair of headphones for the price, I would rather not spend over $100 but I can go up to $200. Hope you guys can help me out, thanks in advance!

How about wireless ones such as the Sennheiser RS65? It would make for a much cleaner setup and I can roam around the house but Im wondering how these will sound vs. wired.

The high noise floor is most likely due to your sound card. Integrated sound cards are especially bad in this regard.

For around $100 I would get th Audio-Technica ATH-A500 from Audio Cubes.
