No, there aren't any good ones.

Turtle Beach and all the other crap headsets sound terrible and have poor build quality. I see no reason to buy them at all. Then again, I don't play XBL and haven't played properly for years.

The A40s are pretty decent, but not worth $250. Even HD555s sound better than them.

Is there any way to attach the mic to the Audio Technica AD700 for xbl

Wear it around your neck. Or cut the headband off and tape the ear part to the side of the headphones lol.

lol. i figured.
i guess i can try that.lol

Scott, are there any sets in the DT770 range that produce deep lows and higher lows well? Someone mentioned the M-Audio Q40, but I've only heard it recommended in that one instance. I'm not sure I'll ever get around to amping the DT770 and not sure if I should look elsewhere in that case. I'm just getting sick of my V6's cause there just too bright and make my ears bleed. Some people are also swearing by their AKG's (518dj's) to have better bass coverage, than the 770's lower boomy bass. The 770s just seem so comfy and thats definitely worth payin for.

I bought a pair of Skullcandy Ti's (probably not great but they look badass and have pretty good sound and bass)

Anyways noob question but i was wondering how I could game with them? Do you just plug them into your TV or what?

Yeah, just plug them into the TV.

Don't except them to be good for gaming. They have zero midrange because the bass is bloated and boomy which drowns out the mids. They're not very detailed and have a small soundstage too. Skullcandy annoy me. They market to the lowest common denominator so they can get away with having terrible sounding headphones because they look "badass". The worst part is, because they know everyone thinks bass = good sound, people actually think they're good. -_-

Denon D1000 (or D1001, same thing) and Equation Audio RP21 both have very good bass. The Denon's are slightly better though, when considering the rest of the spectrum.

The 518dj's are a solid choice also. Great if you're looking for a >$80 option. Full review here:

I might just go with those Denon D1000's then. The thing I love about this headphone stuff is that its fairly easy to sell the headphones for around what you possibly paid for them. I'm sure I'll be happy with the D1000s, how do these amp? I have a Denon receiver at home and might try it out to see the difference. I wish I could just take it to school

My Denon D2000s didn't respond particularly well to an amp, and my amp is a pretty good one (Darkvoice 332). It tightened the bass and brought out the mids a little, but the highs became even more sibilant - especially when I tried Mullard M8100 tubes. I can't see it being much different with D1000s.

They respond better to sources I think. The difference between onboard motherboard sound and my EMU 0202 was huge.
