For music, I can guarantee you that you can find significantly better cans for the price that they're selling for.

for gaming not music,and it needs to be a headset not headphones and a snap on mic,unless i can get both for around 120 or less,basically i need too hear footsteps and stuff and know where the enemy is at.Also i DO NOT have a soundcard,just onboard so USB would be better no?

I have the G35 and I use it only for gaming.

I stopped using my surround sound speaker setup coming from the audigy sound card when I got these cans. Positional data for first person shooters is excellent. It's like night and day compared to my speaker setup. Playing Crysis, Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty becomes more enjoyable since you can pick out accurately the location and distance of incoming forces. Explosions have good slam and impact.

They are not so good with music. They are great for movies especially with the Dolby feature on.

EDIT: When I say "pick out accurately the location and distance of incoming forces," I mean this both with eyes on the enemy and when not in visual contact. In other words, when walking in dense jungle you can place the location of enemy forces hunting you even when you still can't see them thru the vegetation; so you can decide whether to maneuver to engage or escape and evade.

Really tbh, Audio Technica AD700 + Zalman clip-on mic....

Amazon.com: Audio Technica ATH-AD700 Open-air Dynamic Audiophile Headphones with 53mm Drivers with Neodymium Magnet Systems: Electronics

Or get a $3 mic from DealExtreme

DealExtreme: $2.80 Mini Clip-on Microphone

Fantastic for directional / FPS gaming when bass EQ'ed.

I love the absolute disregard for the question presented.
 
I am in the market for a headset, and no one seems to be able to respond without saying "don't get a headset," even if that's what my needs specifically are.
 
Zalman mics pick up EVERYTHING in the room/apartment.  I need a boom, just like the topic maker I assume.
