So you're not considering the ATH-AD900's?

Got a pair of Sennheiser RS-180 last Christmas by my dear wife. I can really recommend them! Awsome with wireless and without losing quality... Feels really good using wireless with trackir...

i read the thread and i don't know why you would avoid it other than the fact that it's not analog. maybe i have a better sound card than you, i dunno. mine works perfectly so far with il-2 and i can always tell where planes are so i guess that's all that matters for me. plus, it was free! . i also play a lot of other FPS games like black ops, medal of honor, bad company 2, left for dead 2, cyrsis.... well u get the idea, so it helps to have that 7.1 option.

my only beef with it is the cord gets all tangled and twisted. it's cool that the cord is covered with fiber, but it gets annoying sometimes.

Goldring DR 150 or the Superlux HD 681 will do you well.

The superlux is an AKG rip off, although they out perform real AKGs at 1/4 of the price.

Again the Goldrings match/out perform more expensive headphones.

It would be a safe bet to assume either will outperform any gaming headset.

5.1/7.1 is pretty pointless compared to binaural sound (when talking about headphones anyway), its far more realistic and only requires two (headphone) speakers.

What makes you say that?
