Which Headset To Get?

Firstly, unless you have a dedicated headphone amp, turn on the NS1000's active noise reduction. It makes them a lot easier to drive and passive mode is too demanding for most soundcards. (Edit: without adequate amplification in passive mode the bass gets rather overpowering and muddy and everything else sounds veiled / recessed)

Secondly turn off CMSS-3D, Crystallizer etc.

Thirdly, if you're using low bit rate mp3s, try a few CDs or lossless tracks instead. You might not hear a difference over MP3s but it gives you the best chance of hearing the headphones in their best light.

Edit: I don't think it matters if you have headphones or speakers set in the control panel, if CMSS-3D is off. The above settings are for music only. In gaming mode you'll want headphone settings and CMSS-3D on for most games. Windows and games to be set to 7.1 or failing that 5.1.

I was looking for a decent wireless headset but it doesnt seem as if there are any :/

Ive ended up getting a pair of Wireless Sennheiser RS-130s and will have to find a mic for them
 
I have a pair of sennheiser hd 555 being used with a xonar d1 pci sound card.

Well balanced headphone with enough bass they also produce a soft warm sound.

I have also owned Creative Fatality Gaming headset...the sound compared to these hd 555 is quite noticable i mean the bass on the logitech is nice but it has less crisp then these hd 555 of mine, plus those logitech headphones will hurt your ears where as this hd 555 headphones i got on are a lot more comfortable and can wear them for hours.
