just bought a set of sennheiser pc161 and have to say i'm impressed. In game sound is excellent and the build quality is spot on...http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-024-SN&groupid=702&catid=1058&subcat=

Yeah, but for a decent set of Senns your looking at about £130 ish.
So kinda depends on your budget. I went with the Fatal1ty ones too, and they are very good for the money.
I like the look of those Medusa 5.1s though......

These are the badgers nadgers

I am getting some - you made the wrong choice tho dude - Sennie PC16 series is the best - dont listen to mad tools the only reason he suggested those headphones is that they have a scottish translator inbuilt - and the only lag is in his thought processes not the bloody speakers!
