need decent headphones

i need decent headphones for gaming and for my music but the thing is that i want headphones that cover my ears completely as the others irritate the living hell out of me. also is it possble that they support surround sound. it will be for pc use and for the dvd player as i work shifts and dont want to wake the family.
thanks in advance

 

I think the company "Plantronics" makes good quality earphones like the type you are looking for. My friend owns a pair, but I'm not sure of the model number. Anyway, look up that company. Hope this helps in your search

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

 

i use $20 Sony headphones from walmart and they are the best $20 headphones I've ever heard.

 

I got my seinnheisser (sp) 500HD for 80$ out of ammazon; check if they still have those prices; it covers my entire ear and the sound is just friggen GREAT!

$50

 

I too use a set of Sony headphones & they do sound fantastic. Maybe check out these Zalman's. They have been getting great reviews around the different sites.

 

My bro uses the HD200's and IMO they arent worth the money cuz they dont cover your entire ear and feel somewhat flimsy and delicate. I think for the short change more you can get a surperior product (hd500)

 

i would recomend any Sennheiser or plantronics headphones.

I'm using plantronics 90 s at the moment which are fantasic quality and have a microphone as well.

 

If you have the money these
are really nice!
A friend of mine has this set. they are really nice and only in the $70 area.

 

finally the end of the saga i went into currys and there were a pair of sennheiser hd477 headphones for £30. all the reviews for this headset were good except had a inflexable headband. i can live with that. anyway i went to pay fopr them and they were £24 WHAT a bargin. i must say that i am very impresed with them. i am listerning to my music now while typing .

thanks guys for your imput !!

 

Best cans I've used are Grado for music and Platronics for gaming. The Grado's are open design, however.

Heard many good things about Sennheiser, but they're the kind of manufacturer who you either love or hate. Kinda like Maxtor or MSI. I've never used them myself.

 

I really want some nice earphones. I would really like some to cancel out sound so I can listen to them while I'm mowing the yard and what not.
