Ive had the above headset for 2 years and the cable that goes into the earpiece has split, every time i move the sound cuts out. So im going to need a new headset/headphones but i dont know what, any recommendations? Ideally something for under £40 (thats about $60 for you US members).

Thanks.

They have been excellent, sound is great, comfy to wear and they do a good job at keeping sound around you out. Only downside is for people with longish hair, the bit where the earpieces turn your hair can get caught in that lol.

If i cant find a pair of headphones i like i think i'll order another pair of these.

Ok so these stand out to me.

JVC HARX700 (thanks to the sticky) - Good reviews, only downside is no volume control on them. - £33

and

Plantronics Gamecom 367 Headset - Good reviews also. - £18

Theres a bit of a price difference between them both. Does anyone know what the JVC ones are like for gaming?

I owned the predecessor to the JVC HARX700 up until the pleather padding wore out and I bought the Sennheiser HD202s, and I miss them. They had huge drivers and sounded great. JVC headphones tend to give you quite a bit for your money, though I'm sorry I cannot speak specifically to that model. You can take a look at the Amazon reviews and the conversation at Head-Fi. Good luck, I hope you find a pair you like! Boz

Cheers man, got them today and i agree they are sweet headphones! Fit really well, i thought they would be quite uncomfortable from the reviews people have given them, but they aren't in the least. The sound is good I agree, although a little tinny but what can you expect for that price :).
