    I do, but I don't know the brand. Im at work now but will check later. They were like$ 60 at a store in an airport and they have phenomenal sound quality. Bass hits great and treble is perfect. They were in the ear headphones. Very comfortable and had interchangeable rubber ear pieces for size and comfort.

    Sorry I can't give u the brand but will post tomorrow what they are.

    I agree with the turtle beach headset. Not sure about that model but if you don't mind big and bulk the turtle beach x11's are amazing

    One of my friends swears by his Turtle Beach headset. I personally use Bose QC-15. Neither are cheap, but I believe that the audio is just as important as the video when gaming.

    Im more of a pleasure listener and use my sennheiser hd598. Although that's a bit out of most people's price range. The previous gen hd595 is half the price and sounds almost identical to the untrained ear.

    I recommend the Logitech G35, I have Turtle Beach X11s and the G35s are about 100x better. They use a USB port so they can do 7.1 Surround sound whereas the audio jacks only go up to 5.1 I believe.

    I use the Turtle Beach x11s, so I can swap with my 360. The bass is nice, and they are very helpful. Fully recommend and cheap as dirt.
