im using sennheiser hd 202, bought them for about 30eur, and for that money they're perfect for me, sound is really great! there are more advanced models with mic so i can recomend you to check their products.

I'm using the ROCCAT Kave Solid 5.1 surround headphones
http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Sound/ROCCAT-Kave-5-1/
is working very well for games and much better for music and the price is less then 100,00 €
For 89,99 € you get a 360° Surround-Hurricane for your ears Winking

I have had the same for about 5 years. Though I paid around 15 euro for them AFAIK, 80 euro 'gaming headphones' sound awful in comparison, and I hear footsteps earlier on the cheaper ones. And those Senneheisers aren't even 'good' in reproducing sound (heavy bass). But for gaming purposes they are totally ok, although the ear-cups are really small.

Beyerdynamics MMX 300. It's a bit more expensive, but it will last longer and you'll have the best sound quality available. Think about damping!

Re: I need help in choosing headphones

Can't really say if you want gaming headphones (with mic). No real experience there except the Steelseries stuff. If it's only for gaming I guess you could source some reviews on the net, or maybe ask Fala here. If you want them for music aswell I'd look to other brands, Denon makes great stuff (that doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg).
