Looking at other posts in here Sennheiser seems to be one of the best. I normally use my surround sound speaker system for sound output which is why I've put off buying a decent pair.

Although I have seen these, any other options? Or is it worth spending more?

i use hi-fi headphones with a separate mic

might want to look at those as well? :)

mine are the audio-technica ath-ad700's, i thoroughly recommend them :D

great sound and very comfortable but if you like a very strong bass you might want closed headphones rather than open ones. like the ath-a700 etcetera ;)


like those logitech's though, they're a bit expensive...

These are what I'm using and have been for a good 2 years or so.
Decent quality and a good price, especially how long they've lasted.
However once I get a new sound system I'm going for some decent headphones with a seperate mic. 8)

i've used plantronics headsets before, the sound was ok but they were uncomfortable

they have models around £30 though :smile:

I've got the 151's and I love em, Before I got these I went through about 3 pairs in about a year, walking on them, getting stuck in chair wheels etc, Still happens to these but not a scratch on em.
The sound quality is very good for £30 ish, of course you miss out on a lot of sounds compared to a decent 5.1 system.
Very comfy as well.

I've got the Creative Fatal1ty Headset and it's pretty good although if you got a big head it could make you go bald :) (see the big pad on the overhead bit)

Tight fit for big heads , but can't hear the missus so it's all good ;)


Mic is LOUD apparently :lol:
