Probably an X-Fi and any Logitech set (say the X-530) if you want to cater exclusively to jam--upper bass boosts.

Try the Grado name for a more forward sound.

Ok but as u said straight forward sound don't understand... I play AASF all the time and i need the mic and i didn't see any Grado with the mic but i hope they have elite sound because this game is very sound based so it needs to be a top notch sound quality headset for under a 100

I've got the Plantronics DSP-400s. Awesome headsets. Best part is you don't need a sound card. Great for laptops especially.

You asked for more jam, Grados are an American-built, hand tuned (well-received in the gaming community) headphone company.

Their sound is more "forward" or livelier in the midrange and the upper bass.

Sennheiser would probably be more classical music oriented, as its a bit more accurate, but much mor elaid back in the mids. If "jamming" is your primary goal, I would lean toward the Grados. If comfort and long hours of critical listening is *actually* what you want instead of *jamming*, then sure, get some Sennheisers.

Thanks astralite sounds like u know a great deal about your stuff you helped me out alot thanks..

Astrallite is a noob when it comes to Audio!!!

We allll Know BOSE frickin RULZ!!!

yes! my current plantronics that i use in bf2 are the final result after returning three (3!) different logitechs. The logitechs actually sounded pretty good, on par w/ the price around $30 but they flat HURT my head to wear them... I just kept trying the logitechs 'cause my z530 speakers sounded so good i wanted to keep the support there...

alas, plantronics proved to be good sounding AND comfortable which is just as important to me as I wear them for hours at a stretch.

so yes, use that return policy! use it well.

Naw he's not that lol, unless you're joking. He has a pretty good handle on audio. I KNOW he was being sarcastic.

Things marketted specifically for the PC (speakers, headphones) are really aimed at first-time (uninformed) customers, who are generally 1) on a low budget 2) and/or *may* have a preference for West Coast Sound (the smily face equalizer), 3) may be purchasing speakers to look cool with their LCD screen and riced out aluminum case and shiny Logitech mice/KB.

Bose buyers are a totally different thing altogether, not only do they *think* they are purchasing for a high end/image product, they generally have not heard (or refuse to) audition a good setup. I kinda feel bad for them; they don't know what they are missing, and don't know they are in a price range where generally stuff is anywhere from 5 to 20 times more linear/accurate (at least on sine-wave analysis. Of course there are other tests which are equally important).

BOSE is crap. Pay so much for the name, and I have nfi why in the 1st place. The sound isn't top notch, and they aren't all that acurate. I'll pit an Onkyo reciever and a set of Vamps up against a BOSE system any day

ROFL! Get over it

Cry More!!!
