my ranking (pc usage)
1. Logitech G930
2. Creative WoW-Headset
3. Corsair HS1

No idea how you could not mention 2 and 3, so this poll is not serious for me.

Personally i would neve rbuy a Sennheiser for gaming. For the price of sennheisers i expect much more, so a real bad price-performance ratio on that in this field.

Just a pitty that bang & olufsen doesn't make real headsets, since this earphones for my ipod having a faboulos sound: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B001P05JKU/ref=asc_df_B001P05JKU3126590?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&tag=billigerde-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22494&creativeASIN=B001P05JKU

But they are not comfortable at gaming, i use them mainly at doing sport.

I believe that God left certain drugs growing naturally upon our planet to
help speed up and facilitate our evolution. Okay, not the most popular
idea ever expressed. Either that or you’re real high and agreeing with
me in the only way you can right now. “I forgot the code, is it two
blinks yes, one blink no?” Do you think magic mushrooms growing atop cow
shit was an accident? Where do you think the phrase, ‘that’s good shit’
came from? Why do you think Hindus think cows are holy? Holy shit! Why
do I think McDonalds is the Anti-Christ? That’s Gods little accelerator
pad for our evolution. Let’s think about this, man.

Big grin ye true...this ones will fit u good tanaka :

Sennheiser HD800 600 ohm + DHC OCC Silver Flagship Balanced Cable , around 2.500euros

but ofc for those i suggest a good set of amp and all that like this:

Audio-gd C-10SE balanced power amplifier + PSU09
Audio-gd DAC 7.1 Balanced (with NOS Amperex 6DJ8 and Burson OPA'S) with ERS paper + PSU09 + JZ1 TYPE3
Audio-gd phoenix amp Balanced (Pinkie v3i PSU and Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8) with ERS paper

about 4.500euros all.

yup, all about 7.000euros xD gl and hf with it D: it will blow u up with sound haha

---

imo Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 600 ohm are just great :]

@Mow Q : I made this poll to know which headset people would choose if they had only those choices.
I didnt put Creative or Corsair brands because I'll never buy stuff from them, like I'll never buy stuff from Apple. You know, this is like tastes and colors, ...

@Ultra : I have seen that between those headsets, some are more expensive but worst rated compared to others. If I couldnt find answers about which device is the best, and which is crap, in computer reviews, I thought about making a poll there. Maybe some players already have one of those and maybe they did bad choices they could explain here too.

@Dark Angel : Which one would you like to buy if you had only those choices? The headset you said isnt interesting for gaming, its just good for listening to music. Two differents things. I dont need a good sound quality, I prefer a headset with a good sound positioning.

my advice:

dont listen and read about headphones for ''GAMING'' there isnt such thing imo. chose the best headset wich gives u good bass as : Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 600 ohm (good for gaming good for music)
the important thingy is also the sound card (wich determinates the 3d positioning and all the rest)

just my opinion and the opinion from:

http://www.head-fi.org/

take a read of it : >

ok lets go with the list of the headphones u mentioned up:

starting from:

Logitech G930
wiriless???Oo....nothing to point out more about this ones...
Steelseries 7H
nothing more to add that this: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/547741/steelseries
Steelseries Siberia v2
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/449103/siberia-v2-or-megalodon
Sony DR-GA500
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/533537/steggy-s-review-of-the-sony-dr-ga500-audio-system

About the others i will not even bother to comment .]

just think about:

Are u seriusly that some razer, steelseries ''weak'' companys about sound quality are better or more ''sofisticate'' than sony, bayerdynamic, sennheiser, ultrasone, grado, 1964...which has all of to win...just read the head fi and u will understand by ur self waht u need for gaming :]
same did i...i even tested all this stuff in shops to make sure...and coulnt be more happy :] cos i prefer quality than adverisments of ''buy this headphone'' and become overkiller! xD........

headphones + apm + sound card = good quality, positioning enemy, and all what u need, but dont forget about one thing, q3 is from 1999 Winking

ofc best thing would be ifu find a shop as i did, and test all that there :]
