What's a good $100-$150 set of headphones for surround sound gaming? Any thoughts/feedback on these?


Also, I've been looking through the "Post Your Headphones" thread, and I noticed that many people are hooking their headphones up to receivers or amps or something (?), rather than directly into the soundcard. Will I need one of those for high-quality headphones, or can I just hook them up directly to my X-Fi?
 
some cans work great without amps. From what I've read, most of the high end cans work well off sound cards, but a good amp will be an improvement.

Sennheiser makes good headphones. period. the 580s have a good reputation over at head-fi.org
 
HD580 are good music cans. IMO they need an amp to shine. Popular ones for gaming are
AT A500/900, senn hd555/595, beyer dt770. Do a search you find tons of posts on this.
 
Audio-Technica ATH-ES7! Beautiful! Very nice finish! Sound quality are promising!!!
