[Gradius]

Hail all fellow Headphone users.

Please give me some advice on a good pair of headphones, i have no idea what to buy seeing what a huge choice there is out there

I know Sennheiser makes good stuff, any help would be appreciated and a link would be useful if you can suppyly it so I can read up on it

Budget...?

 

[Gradius]

I would prefer not to spend more than R1k, but i'm always open to suggestions if it costs more than that..

I'm currently using the logitech Digital Precision (About R 500 - 799)
Logitech Digital Precision
And i will admit it is one of the best I've used, However The extra pressure on the ears from the headphones being the type with the behind the head design, Makes it sorta unconformable for longer gaming sessions.

Im looking at buying either the
Logitech G35 (When They Arrive) (Est R 1500 +)
Or The
AstroGaming A40 Audio System (Est R2500+)

*EDIT*
One of my team mates uses the Sennheiser PC-350, And seems exceptionally happy with it.

You generally cannot go wrong with
Logitech - http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/headphones/&cl=za,en
or
Sennheiser - http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en.nsf/root/private_headphones

I am using the Logitech Notebook Headset (bottom of the page I linked). Very happy with it.

My absolute favorite headphones which I still use today are:

Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset:

They are amazing headphones with a detachable mic and I've never had a problem with them since I got 'em.

They have a USB version out now which they say is powered by X-Fi so I'd imagine the sound quality is a little better but I don't know how much you'd pay.

Creative Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset HS-1000

I bought mine from buycomputers.co.za for about R520 sometime ago, probably come down since then so if your budget is +-R1000 then maybe look at the USB version of the same headset.
