Hey guys, as a self-professed audiophile, I've owned many pairs of earphones in the past, but I'm woefully ignorant about headphones. What headphones are you using? I'm considering procuring a pair of Sennheiser Momentum, or one in the Bose QC series (price is pretty steep though) or a ATH-M50.

For earphones, I'm currently using Klipsch S6i (moving from S4i) and they are amazing especially with Comply foam tips. I've used Bose MIE2, Powerbeats, Sennheiser, Shure etc.

I'm sure your suggestions would improve our gaming experiences as well so please, share your choice of headphones!

My gaming headphones are Logitech G930s. They are 7.1 surround sound.  They aren't the best for music but outstanding for gaming. For music I use Bose QuietComfort 15, noise cancelling headphones. They are great for travelling and fold up in a nice carrying case.

Turtle Beach PX22's.  Got them on clearance for like $30.  Great gaming headset for the price, although they aren't Dolby Digital surround sound.

My in-ears are Sennheiser IE7s, but when I game I use my Denon D5000s with the J-Money lambskin inserts.  The Denon cans are of course made for music, but excellent for gaming as well.

Mine were factory refurbished for 50% off.

Best headset ive ever owned, excellent mic quality, and the mixamp is wonderful for easy volume adjustments.
