Good All-Around hedphones?

I'm looking for headphones (over the ear) that have good sound quality for gaming, music and movies (i know thats everything, but i got high expectations, what can i do about it?). I also like it if it had a mircophone, and the best would be if it were detachable, so that i could not look like a a-h0le when i wear them outside. i'd pay basically anything under $100, but i'd go higher if something really strikes me. I have done some research and so i am acquainted with the main-stream models (but i haven't ruled any of them out, yet) like the stellseries V2 5H or whatever it's called. This is what i have found, but it doesn't have a de-atchable mic:

many will say skullcandies but sonys are just as good or better

I would suggest you look up the Sennheiser HD555 headphones, great all rounders with excellent sound quality (really well balanced). I bought mine last year for £60, so im guessing they shouldnt be much more than $100. Stay away from Skullcandy, they arnt good.

Nothing beats them for the price...nothing.

I absolutely love them and you will not be dissappointed

You should get one of these two

I'm in love with these _ Sony MDR-7506_

Awesome for studio recording (if you're into that)

Great for gaming (not too much bass, not too much treble. Perfect audio balance)

My suggestion would be the aforementioned Sonys or the Sennheiser HD555. I would advise against the HD280 and the Grado SR60.Bumzur

they look great! they are skinner and in general more sleek then the other headphones suggested (thanks guys), but still keep the over the ear design. I'll look into a few reviews, and then get back to you if i buy em'. Cheers

over the weekend i found a pair of HD 280's (senn.) in my papa's closet, and i've been trying them out. They are great for music but in some games their just downright awful. in TF2 they are good, but when i play Burnout Paradise they are atrocious. I don't know if it's because there are to many sounds (the engine, the music and the annnouncer) or it's becuase of some other special reason. I must say though, they are comfortable.

Why do they have the problem with Burnout though? is it because they are "studio headphones" and not made for gaming (i always thought that stuff was bogus, and that there was no real difference)?

I don't have one. sounds horrible saying it like that, but thats the truth. I guess thats why they don't sound AS good as i thought they would. Should i get one? My budget would be pretty tight, like $50 or maybe $70. Would it really help that much?

makes sense, though i'm listening to some Ice Cube (haha) throught these Sennz right now, and it sounds mazin'. How would this work?
