Money isnt as important as gettin a good set if you know what I mean.

Am not loaded but would rather spend to get quality

YUP - got the 80ohm version

Hope they are not too tight as I have a big head (or so I am told)

Thanks for the heads up

Right guys - got me headphones now but where in gods name do I plug em in?

Got a DFI lanparty mobo here with no instructions for the onboard sound and I dont just want to try each plug untill its right - anyone help me out here?

I have creative 7.1 speakers but even that has nothing on it to show where I am sposed to plug in the phones

Still getting no sound - thought this would be easy - used to just plug headphones in and get on with it.

It should be the Green one like stated, but it may be because you've been using 7.1 speakers that it's not setup right? Check in Control Panel > Sounds & Audio Devices that the speakers are set to Headphone, and that perhaps nothing is muted on the outputs. I take it onboard sound is enabled yeah?

It turns out the green jack is busted. I can switch the settings on the other ones and they work fine with the headphones.
