For gaming all you need is a good set of stereo headphones ( AKG, Sennheiser, Grado, SuperLux, etc ) and a sound card with CMSS 3D & Dolby Headphone support.
Configure the game & the card's drivers properly and you'll be FPSing like you're wallhacking.
Terrific sound field & positioning, detailed audio, if a needle is falling in a haystack, you'll hear it.

I suppose, oh. MD does have the rampage 3 black edition. Got a good soundcard already.

On a different note, Eagles are stomping a mudhole on Dallas. Gotta admit im shocked, 21 to nothing.

And back on topic, good headphones desensitize you to your surroundings, which might be a good thing from an audiophile POV, but not from a realistic point of view... Despite surround sound or great music levels, I can still hear my door open when jamming out, or someone coming up the steps while gaming without headphones

I'm like Rich, I only use the gaming headphones when I'm upstairs in my little room where no one ever bothers me. I can't use them and sit in an area with other family members around cause if they come up behind me and touch me on the shoulder it scares the bejesus out of me I've been doing mos of my gaming on my ROG laptop with a shitty pair of 2.1 Altec Lansings so no one can sneak up behind me

I'l give the beyerdynanic phones a shot, but can't image it would be better, but I'll check Bought the DT770 PRO headphones for guitar playing at kick ass volumes without driving the wife crazy :

Unfotunately, she's female so still a little crazy... nuttin I can do about that part
