ive got a ONKYO reciever/amp, i got no complaints, excellent quality for headphones and surround sound through speakers, also compatible with TRUE HD sound ( on some blurays ) and a nice amount and variety of ways to connect including 3 HDMI sockets, with amps n recievers its true that you get what you pay for so if i were you id think about what else ur gonna use it for appart from gaming b4 you go n spend tha cash. also some quality headphones take some time b4 they reach thier full potential kinda like warming up , some wont reach it until theyve had around 100 hours of play, n trust me u CAN tell the difference in sound range and quality

Yup $300 dollars for a pair of headphones is kinda a bit ridiculous.I bought pioneer ones that is like the number one headphones that dj's use and i only paid  $150 for them.Just because you have 300 dollar headphone doesn't mean you will be a better dj/gamer.Like someone previously mentioned,Your not going to be able to hear someone scratch their balls in $300 headphones.Anyways,Heres a site with like the lowest prices you will find on pro amps.

Don't spend 300 dollars on a pair of headphones if your going to use them for gaming.

Theres no need for headphones on the console unless you are deeply in need for them because your TV sound isn't loud enough or your deaf.
 
If your going to play nub modes with the headphones like vctf and warfare and greed and stuff like that, I'd say your a nub who likes to waste his money on stuff he doesn't even need.
 
true, headphones arent gonna do anything in warfare and vctf except give you a headache because your wearing headphones.
 
the only time i think headphones would give you a considerable advantage is duels, and a little advantage in tdm

lol ya you can get those mlg astro ones with the amp for like half that much.. and im sure they are better for games



you crack me up deadaim, thank your for that at least. and wtf would i do with hps on during a vctf or warfare match? but from what ive seen and found out about these is that they are very helpful on certain maps in warfare. sinkhole, downtown and even floodgate they are very useful when your map controlling or running the orb. also im digging them in ctf too...

That's downright laughable.

Anyways, Envy, I thought you opposed ‘devices’?

They are better for games because the keys push in better.

Yeah, I only spent $100 for headphones in competitive play in UT2k4 and UT3, and if you count playing Counterstrike Source for money, go right ahead.
 
My beautiful Razor. Gotta love it, I even use it for sound mixing.
