Recommend me some good headphones

Currently have the Medusa 5.1 headphones. But find begining to find them a little uncomfortable and i think the speakers are going (lots of wrattling inside the headset). I have one set break before, so wanted a new set from a different company perhaps. Needs to have a good mic (for skype and such like) and also comfortable, because the ones i have crush my ears.

I see that Medusa has a new looking set of headphones (silver) but dunno what they are like, so wanted to ask peoples opinons on which is the best for comfort, sound and microphone quality.

well nothing above £100.

How are those 595's connected to the computer? Via a regular stereo socket (usually front on a sound card) or similar to my Medusa's where it goes to the 3 connections - front/centre/sub sockets via a small amp.

If they go into the 3.5 inch jack, how can they be surround sound? Surely you need 3 separate lines to receive from the sound card.

Ah I see, well im after more comfort. As long as the sound is good for things like Obilivion and Warcraft (love the sounds of birds, and the swaying trees to be good).

My current Medusa don't sit right on my head anymore. I have some old Philips SBC-HP250 headphones and they sit really well on my head, they encase my ears very well.

So these headphones are like that? Good for movies too?
