Good gaming headphones

[stuartw101]

Looking for some good headphones that don't cost too much. Mainly need them for counter strike as i can't have my speakers very loud. Im looking to spend £30 max, but only if they are really worth it.

Got any ideas?

Thanks

Way too expensive for me

Reef,

The budget was max £30, you overlooked that

Was thinking about these few:

I use a pair of Sennheisser PX200's with my I-Pod, they're very very good for the price, most people who have a listen to them comment on how good they are.

They're £28.44 from Here

Not sure if they'd be suitable for gaming though as they don't have a microphone.

Since your using them for counter strike stu, would you be wanting a mic built in?

 

[stuartw101]

Nah, im not bothered about a mic. Yeah i looked at the px200's, not sure how well they would sound when playing games, a good review so im tempted.

If anyone knows if they are good for gaming then i will probaly buy them.

Thanks

2nd one down.

Ya damn noobs shoulda known what i meant .

 

[stuartw101]

Yeah i saw those, you need a 5.1 sound card i think which i dont have, or can i use them with a 2.1 card?. What do you think of the Sennheiser PX200's?

 

[Quadophile]

I think my son uses them hooked up to the amp for xbox gaming, he would surely avoid them if they were not good enough for it

 

[stuartw101]

Cool, looks like im probaly going to get them then.

 

[stuartw101]

Anyone know if you can use 5.1 surround headphones if you only have a 2.1 sound card?

 

[michael 118]

You can use them... but i dont think the quality will be great with a 2.1 card

 

[floppybootstomp]

You can use them but obviously you'll only get two channels from them, which as michael118 points out, probably won't sound too clever on a headset designed for 5.1.

Another suggestion i have been given is the Sennheiser HD212's
