I am looking for headphones that are good for gaming, listening to music, and most of all a comfortable headset. I came across these and just wondering if these are any good http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=10318&vpn=ZM-RS6F&manufacture=ZALMAN%20TECH.

heard sumwhere thet those so callet surround headphones are a waste of time, WASTE OF TIME!!!

but i dunno, makes sense tho, rather have two good quality drivers than many small ones......(think about car audio, rather get splits instead of 6x9's, you get better staging and sound quality, there is no interference beacause they tried to do too much in too little space)

bigger drivers can handle lower frequencies better, yet need more power......

sooo, it depends on what you want.....

im no audiophyle, so smack me if im wrong :)

They look nice but I am not willing to spend 200$ on headphones.

The PC160 seems to be a very good and affordable headset.
I heard nothing but good about them.

I have the HD580 myself. Not cheap, but excellent quality.

what are u looking for?
audiophile or gaming.
http://www.audiocubes.com/category/Headphones_Audiophile/product/Audio-Technica_ATH-A500_Art_Headphones.html

use that, it is made for audiophile but very clear with whatever you listen to.
They have up to $3000 price range but 100 dollar sound reasonable for
a nice headphone.
Don't forget to buy an amp.

I have those Zalman Theatre 6 Headphones, they are quite well, i've tryed anyother senheinser or better. But they sound awsome, quite good, I don't really care about the "surround effects" and that stuff, but for the prize, they are quite good choice (I'm from quite far away...)

Mostly for gaming.
