If you want to go the separate route, I can help you.
Before we get started I need to know a few things
Do you have a soundcard?
Do you own a headphone amp?
What is your budget?
What will the headphones be used for?
After those are answered, we'll get kicking.

They may be tits, but I find it hard to hear the game through tits. I mean, I don't mind having tits squashed against both of my ears, but there are better ways to play CS. So let's get Killa some headphones and leave you to squash tits against your ears as much as you want.  |

I will start off with my #1 recommendation. I recommend these to ANYONE who wants the best in sub-$200 headphones without an amp: the ATH-A900. I used a pair of these babies for two years before I upgraded to my current system. I loved them during that time, and still love to occasionally go back to them. I recommended them to fr0sty, who loves his pair; B4L1STA uses my old pair and loves them. They have great definition and detail and a decent soundstage for being closed. Also, the 3D "wing" system makes them UNBELIEVABLY comfortable to wear. http://www.audiocubes.com/product/Audio-Technica_ATH-A900_Art_Headphones.htmlModel: ATH-A900 Price: $180 The second pair of cans I'll recommend to anyone looking for a sub-$200 pair of headphones is the Sennheiser HD 555. More or less, these will deliver most of what the ATH-A900's will, without the detail or the comfort. I personally despise the feel of Sennheiser headphones, they feel too silky and fluffy; akin to sleeping in silk pajamas every night. However, that's just my personal opinion, most people find them quite enjoyable. The feel isn't a bad thing, it's just different. An important thing to note about the HD 555's is that they are OPEN rather than closed, meaning you will be able to hear everything going on around you while you wear them. While this can be a bit distracting, the sound stage benefits greatly from it. Meaning, sounds will be much more separated and distinguishable in comparison to closed headphones. However, this comes at a greater price than just being able to hear what is going on around you. Detail will be much worse on a lower end, open headphone. http://www.headphone.com/products/headphones/all-headphones/sennheiser-hd-555.phpModel: HD 555 Price: $150ish The last pair of cans I'll reccomend is the Grado SR 60. These cans are AWESOME for being sub-$100. NOTHING in the sub-$100 can compare, end of story. They won't sound as good as the HD 555's or the ATH-A900's, but they will sound decent. The only thing that is negative about the SR 60 is the ergonomics. Some people just can't stand to wear these things. Most people find them decent, but a few find them horribly uncomfortable. http://www.headphone.com/products/headphones/all-headphones/grado-sr-60.phpModel: SR 60 Price: $60ish |

One thing we all got to remember is that Killa has BIG ears.
Sennheiser HD 555 look like they have BIG ear pockets.
Audio-Technica ATH-A900 Art Headphones look like they do too.
Grado SR 60 looks like my BIG ears would never be stuffed into them.

ooh, headpwns. i'll definately throw in my two cents.
i'm not familiar with the ATHs but they sound alright.
definately go for the sennheiser hd-555s. i know a few pros who use them. they are cirumaural closed headphones, since we know my hd-580s fit you, the 555s def will. they don't have the same open design as mine, rather, they have parabolic covery things, which are supposed to give you sweet spatial and directional sound. go pricegrabber.com em, should be able to find a pair for only 150.
you absolutely cannot go wrong with a pair of sennheiser. they are warrantied ridiculous and sound awesome!
