Howdy guys,

I am looking at purchasing a set of headphones (for PC / Gaming etc :S), looking at spending up to $350.00

Any ideas on what I should look t?

I havent bought before, so any advice would be helpful.

Che.

Steelsound 5Hv2's go pretty hard about 120$

Audio Technica ATH-A900's are hot ~300$

Can never go wrong with Beyerdynamics, they mix it up pretty well with sennheiser

and i've herd good things about skull candy headphones aswell

I Just ran out and got the HD555s, seemed like the best buy where I went, at the right price too - cheers for the advice lads.

Now I can rest a little easier knowing that AWPing faggots firing their n00b cannons at 2am isnt going to get me evicted in the first month of my inhabitation at new unit hahaha.

Peace!

i don't think i'll ever stop using my HD 590's for everything ... even my mp3 player :D

and yeah i think all sennheisers go well with a sound card and a pre-amp :D
