Will only be used for gaming for when i LAN or playing with clan/friends online. Music will be played through speakers (as i prefer speakers)
Requirements.
- Good sound, especially for gaming environment
- Over ears (i dunno the technical word but i don't want it sitting on my ear I want it to "cup" my ear)
- Good quality microphone, good enough to yell at 9 yr old noobs.
- Must be available in Australia, I use www.itsdirect.com.au most of the time but ill go with any respectable aussie site.
- Must be under $150 AUD

Also, i'm not sure to go for USB or 3.5mm input. I'm a audio noob so I don't even know if it will run through my soundcard (my speakers fill up the inputs on the soundcard, however there is a headphone input on my speaker volume control).
Soundcard is a Creative X-Fi Titanium (don't laugh audiophiles)

That might be a lot to ask but i'm looking for your best recommendations that suit my needs.
I DO NOT want to start another audio debate.

_Thanks.

This

Been using these for ages. Bought 'em off that website a few months ago after my older ones from umart broke (then Umart decided to stop selling them.. fuckers.). Didnt come with a USB soundcard like my old one, but Im sure you can figure something out.

Works like a charm. They've fallen off the desk a few times, and survived (they look flimsy at the sides). But I wouldnt count them as totally durable. Sound control thingo is awesome, and it has that switcharooney thing so you can turn your mic off, or turn the mic sensitivity to low/high.

Check em out, they're fairly decent.

I love my HD555s

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

they are so good that I'm going to upgrade the stock cable with a better one that is worth more than the cans itself

heh for the money they are excellent but with Sennheiser you really get what you pay for and the more you pay the more you get

i think he means if the speakers are already hooked up, how would you plug in the headphone cables. just get a y-adapter.

I would personally use dual stereo mode. Front/rear channels= both stereo

Would it be an idea to plug them in into my speaker headphone input? which means it would be going through my sound card. or would the speaker cables or something deteriorate the sound quality?
