This guy knows what he's talking about. If he tells you to buy something, you had better damn buy it. ;)

Thanks again for the recommendation. Can't take these out of my ears now. Good luck with helping everyone else.

You have no idea how happy it makes me when people report back like this.

Budget: $100 Absolute Max USD

PC Gaming: War Games (BF3,CoD) etc...

What kind you want: Over Ear (Surround)

Whether you want open or closed headphones: Not very sure, which would be better for PC Gaming?

What you are listening from: Computer

Very Nice post dude

(Copied from my head-fi post)

I've got this issue with my TBSE1s which I doubt can be remedied by an amp or pad replacement - cymbals aren't "reproduced" properly. It's not that they're just farther back in the background, but there are parts missing. I confirmed by playing the same song on the same player and comparing the TBSE1s with the RP-HTX7s. Has anyone else found this irritating or even a dealbreaker?

Dang, the price just went up by $10. The next logical step down is the $50 Superlux HD668B... So... I guess it's up to you. Both are extremely good for gaming. Better than any Turtle Beach, Tritton, Astro, etc.

Hey r00t_b33r I was wondering if i got the Sennheiser HD 555s with a Zalman clip-on mic for xbox gaming would you recommend an asto pro mix amp. Also would i just plug the amp into the xbox or would I have to plug some stuff into the tv. Also does the Zalman mic have a mute button?

If you're willing to spend that much, yes. You'll get better quality than any Trittons, Astros, TBs, and what have you from this set up. I would switch the HD 555 for the Audio Technica AD700, though. The ZM-1 itself doesn't have a mute button, but I believe the Mixamp does. For the price, this mic is killer!

Thanks for your help, do you know any mics that have a built in mute button?

People, jump on this like it's hot: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I really dislike them, but that's because I'm a mid-freak and these have really weird mids. These are probably the best <$30 headphone for anyone that likes bass.
