The sennheiser's you link to are good, I have a pair stuck on the end of my mp3 player. They're not particularly comftable to wear for long periods though.

If you're willing to pay a little extra, the best headphones I've ever had are sennheiser hd 495, very very comftable and they sound great.

I've heard those Seinheiser's are good. But the big question is. Do you want a mic to speak to the people you are playing games with? Or do you not use a mic for gaming purposes? If you want pure sound go with the Seinheiser's. Otherwise if you do want a mic I would go with the Fatality headset.

I have bose around ear headphones, they're like $120 or something at bestbuy, and they're just fantastic. Had them for a year and the sound quality still stuns me. I hear great things about sennheiser products too, with some friends owning their headphones.

Depends what you are looking for I think...

The sennheisers likely has the best sound of them, but as someone else said, they get slightly uncomfy to wear over longer gaming sessions.

The Fatal1ty headset is the average one Ive used for a while, they are really light, very comfy, and effective at shutting out unwanted sounds, I would place them slightly under the Sennheisers for pure sound, but they still offer very good sound compared to most headsets.

The fatal1ty has a very good mic aswell, if you are looking for a mic.

These are the two I would choose between, and it generally comes down to 2 things: how long you you play at a time? and do you use a mic while playing?

The first option looked nice to me. You should choose that one.

I would say Fatal1ty, they are very good, comfy, though they seem to brake easily, im on my second headset now, it broke for a stupid reason, I happened to rip the wire from on the conectors so it broke, my friend who also has this headset is on his second, though it is very cheap compared to super awesome expensive headsets, and if your careful you might not even brake it once..
