PC : Gaming headphones?

Nutcase · 10-09-2010, 22:07

Anyone got any suggestions for budget but reasonable headphones good for gaming? Don't need to be super-high quality, but low leakage and comfy over the ears is helpful

Not bought any headphones in a million years! Want to get back into games a bit and Em's tele watching means I need 'phones.

I'm interested is suggestions for over ear (closed?) headphones.

Bought a pair of Sennheiser's a few years ago that were open headphones. Don't like them resting on my ears but the sound quality is good.

I did buy a pair of Turtle Beach EarForce X11's for my 360 which can also be used with a PC and TV (though my brother is borrowing these

).

I've ordered a pair of these now:

I did consider jumping up to the 202 as they get much better reviews, but I don't really need the extra quality for games.

Arse. I have onboard sound on my motherboard. No win7 drivers (shame on you intel!!!). I have a soundblaster x-fi. The headphone socket is on the (non-existant) front panel. Double Arse!!!

Bit of a bodge, remembered my monitor (Dell 19" TV) has a headphone socket.
