OK, so I've been searching and researching both here and elsewhere and I'm still having a hard time deciding on a set of headphones around $100 (U.S.) for my particular needs. Basically, I'm looking for a good set of headphones that will mostly be used for PC gaming and occasionally for music. I mostly play FPS games and listen to hard rock/metal. I currently have an X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card (might be getting a Titanium HD for my birthday) and plan to use CMSS3D and all I have for headphones at the moment are crappy Logitech headphones. I don't use headphones all the time but would like to get a better set for when I do.
I've been looking at 3 different sets that fall in the price range I'm looking for. These are:
Grado SR80i
Audio Technica ATH-AD700
Sennheiser HD555
I don't want to spend any more than what the above are going for so please don't offer suggestions for more expensive cans like the HD595/598, DT770's etc. I would just like to know what you guys think is the better set out of these three (or similar recommendations. Maybe the Cooler Master Storm Sirus even?) for my needs. Thanks in advance.
