    Thanks for the heads-up, but the headphones I'm looking to purchase HAVE to be sold on BestBuy.com (so I can get an employee discount and use the $55 of reward certificates I have). Lol. Any good pairs you know of sold @ BBY?

    Almost anything from Sennheiser (Higher End Sennheiser stuff) and Audio Technica are going to have superior sound quality to the A40 or A50s. If you play games with excellent sound design, or you enjoy actually listening to music on headphones, I'd go with the Astro mixamp for ease of transferring from PC to Xbox. I would recommend a PCI soundcard for PC gaming, but the mixamp is a more versatile substitute.

    Thanks for the info. I can get those Sennheiser's for ~$97 w/ my discount.

    What do you currently use, if I may ask?

    Re: ASTRO's Question

    Currently rocking the pc360s with an astro mixamp for my xbox and pc. Really can't say enough how much i love them.

    And if you go with those sennheisers and want a mic: http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1.../dp/B00029MTMQ

    Wish I did that. The only thing I don't like about my headset is that the mic is not detachable. Otherwise I'd wear them everywhere.

    I just use the A40 headset because I was impatient and BestBuy only had the combo in-store.

    I recently ordered a pair of ATH AD700s though (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/audio-te...uId=1305483673) for music production and gaming alike. They look really nice too which is a plus.

    Yeah right you wear your headset around town, space cadet

    With the PC360s and a Mixamp, you're able to use it on the 360, correct? You don't need that little $8 mic from amazon?

    Yes you are correct. I was suggesting the mic for the two pairs of headphones blayze suggested.
