Default Which Headset??

Hey, I just want opinions on these headsets i'm looking at. Please tell me which one you would recommend and why, one is $72, and don't just choose it because it costs the most.

I wouldn't get any of them because they are all a flaming piece of crap.

Save up and get a Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (the 80ohm model, not the 32 or 250 ohm).

beyer is an overpriced sennheiser... and hes not even lookin for headPHONES... hes lookin for a headSET.

Any of those three are worth while brands for headsets.

LOL!

No I am afraid it is not. Here is the best place to get it:

Dont be afraid by the price, this guy that sells them will accept offers as low as the $130-$140 range.

I'm not saying sennheiser is bad, in fact I would say their highest end headphone is much better than beyer's highest end headphone. However, they are both totally unrelated. The DT770 Pro 80ohm happens to be amazing for gaming, even more so if you like bass.

I suggest you get a separate mic if you end up getting it. However if you insist on a headset with built in mic, I would look at the sennheiser pc160:

I am not willing to spend $130 on a Headset, that's more than upgrading my RAM would cost.... Anything over $100 is just not worth it in my opinion, how good can a headset be?? Hearing the Enemy fart from 2 miles away?

If you don't want to spend that much thats why I suggested the PC160.

I am not going to go into detail on why the DT770 is so good. If you want to know, look up the reviews.
