Recommended headphones, opinions please.

Hi, im looking to splash out on some new headphones mainly for gaming and im just wondering what you folks would recommend. Im looking to spend around 40-50 pounds or 50-60$. Im not too bothered if it does not have a microphone but im keen on a pair that has surround sound. Opinons greatly appreciated. many thanks )

Well, surround sound usually sacrifices sound quality...
If you plan to use it for more than just gaming (like listening to music on your pc or anywhere else), then I'd stay away.
A good stereo headphone with just the MilesFast2D system should be enough for games IMO/IME.
For some recommendations, check out www.head-fi.org for example

umm dude go with sennheiser, do your reasearch on your model but they put out very good quailty sound. I took the leap and paid 100bucks for My HD 215's and they are amazing.

Seinheiser = the Win.

They are simply the best. Any of the mid to upper range sets from Seinheiser will absolutely blow you away, they are freaking awesome.
