Heya everyone,

So i'm looking to buy me a new pair of headphones in a month or two, simply because my current one is crap. I bought the Creative Fatality headset about 2 years ago because i got a gift coupon from a friend of mine, and it only cost me $10 + the coupon to get it. But the thing is crapped out on me a year ago, and i fixed it myself to have at least a decent sound quality headphone on when i game.

Now i'm tired off this junk and i'm looking around for a new one and i wanted to come here for advice!

If you would say which headset you have, why you choose that one, and also how good the blocking out of the outside noise is, i would be very happy!

I'm basically trying to get a real life review off all the TL people's headphones. I'm not concerned too much about the money part, unless it's just over the top for a feature i don't use like 7.1 for example.

For the last thing i want you to grade your headphones between 1-10 ( 1 worst, 10 best), and i will try to do my best to put all the headset and average grades in the original post, and hopefully we can make this blog a paradise for headset hunters ^^

i saw that post, and it's catered to the high end audio guru's. I'm looking for more experiences with the ~$50-100 price range, and that post covers mostly the $150-200 sets, which most of us gamers don't look at unless they are an audiophile.

If more people think this post/blog is not worth it, fine, but i think this is just a different level.

That thread is for headphones of all ranges.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

not just all ranges, but for all purposes too. including gaming. including what you want from gaming (surround, sound isolation, soundstaging, etc.)

I don't know shit about headphones, nor would I spend more than $50 on them even if I did, but I just graduated from the shitty $2 earbuds that come with ipods and stuff to a pair of Sennheiser 201s, and I'm quite pleased with them.

I think scanning the headphone thread and seeing if there are models that get recommended often in your price range is a great idea. Or you can do what I do a lot when buying something I don't know anything about -- search for it on Amazon, pick out a handful of popular ones and read all the helpful reviews. Cross-reference with reviews on Newegg, sleep on it, and then buy the one you like best.

headphone enthusiasts thread is legendary. Invest time into that thread, you'll get the most out of your money if you send an hour or so going through it.
I ended up getting a Sennheiser 166 USB, it was a bit pricey but it was more than I could have asked for. I just which it could go through hell and back, it broke after about 6 months of me beating the fuck out of it.
Wishing you well.
