Gaming headphones ?

Can anyone recommend a good pair of headphones for gaming ? I have a great 4.1 set of Klipsch's, but they really raise hell with the 2 year old daughter sleeping. Right now I'm using a $ 20 pair from Radio Shack and they suck big time.

I'd appreciate and thoughts on the best bang for my buck !

Thanks !

I use Sony MDR V700's. Good for music as well, no mic tho. Isolate yer ears from surrounding interference. 'Bout 100 bucks online, 150 @ Best Buy or CC.

The Plantronics Audio 90's are great, and the pricepoint is great also

Best headset/mic I have ever found.

Ive had plantonics,koss, and the cheap radioshack versions. Nothing has compared to these. I can hear everything in a game. Even the slightest footsteps in BF-V.

Good timing on this thread topic, as I'm about to pick up some, so I can use TeamSpeak a bit more often. Currently a bit intrusive to the household right now with my 4.1 system and a mike.

Looks like the Plantronics are about 25 - 30 bucks and the Sennheisers about 60- 70 bucks.

I bought a pair of the Plantronics Audio 90's from Amazon.com for $ 25.00 with shipping. (I hadn't seen the post of the Sennheisers yet).

They should be in by Friday or Monday and I'll let you know how I like them.

Thanks everyone !
