Which gaming headset or headphones do you use for gaming?

Currently using some Goldring DR-150's myself.

Looking at upgrading soon, So thought I'd ask what others prefer and are using for there gaming needs.

Sennheiser PC163D for every day gaming as they are light on the head and easy to forget your wearing combined with a decent mic and sound quality that while not in audiophile league is good enough not to find anything objectionable with and can pick out sound detail, etc. that most headsets like those made by plantronics, razer, etc. just don't do.

Sennheiser PC333D - for shorter periods of competitive gaming, etc. the extra mic functionality is really handy to have.

Thanks for this info, I've found a pair of PC 320's cheap so I'm going to give those a try for now, based on how well you like the PC 163D's

I'm thinking of saving up for set of PC 360's or even some HD 598's even.

I might even consider the Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO or the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 also.

The Goldring DR 150's have a great sound for the price I paid for them. Sadly the first pair cracked and fell apart. Even with my best efforts to repair them. Using the second pair now, and don't hold out much hope of them lasting more than 9 more months.

Microsoft LX 3000. I've had this pair for 3 years and they still work almost perfectly. The sound quality and microphone quality are amazingly high for the price. The microphone is starting to go but for £20 after 3 years, I'm happily purchasing a second pair.

I know what you mean.

My nephew has a pair of these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-091-CL&groupid=702&catid=1058&subcat=1719

And for the price, there a nice pair of headphones. A little heavy on the base for my liking, but still good sound quality over all. And he's had them for about a year now, and they are still working well. And he can be a bit heavy handed with his headphones...I've noticed over the last couple of years.
