Based on your budget, I remember that in the Sunday ads this week, CC had the headset I use on sale for $14.99. They're these Logitech ones that are reasonably decent. It is Saturday though so you'd better hurry!

Gah I just realized you might mean headphones for like an MP3 player. If so, disregard!

Nah, I mean for use with my computer (and ones that have a mic attached for stuff like TF2). But I already ordered some, so . . . yeah

If theres one thing you DO NOT skimp on, its headphones. Don't spend less than a hundred dollars, no matter what some shiester in a best buy tells you.

Get a nice pair of Sennheiser phones. I've made every video I've done with the Sennheiser 535s, and my videos are incredible. A + B = Get the headphones.

And what would you recommend for the non audiophiles that are only listening to < 192kbps MP3 and people on bad mics from game or vent servers?

(not saying i'm looking for anything - just asking if the best is necessary if you're not going to be making use of it)

I hear Bose makes pretty sweet headphones, they boast the best in the business. I've never tried them so i can't say, but that's a big boast. They should be pretty good. I think. Maybe.

Bose is horseshit.

Bose puts a lot of sparkle in their tweeters to make people think its high quality. They really really REALLY doctor the sound, so much so that its their selling point. They helped make that whole "those speakers are SO SMALL but sound SO GOOD!" movement what it is today. Its mainly marketing aimed at women who don't like big speakers because they "don't match the bookcase". Compressed, sugary sound.

Bose =

You want your headphones to be relatively flat sounding because your ear is RIGHT THERE. You don't need to mess with the signal.

Get the Senheisers

I have shown this quote to Every Woman in my family who kept trying to give me a Bose, I thank you. And thanx for the link from before
