Got my Koss PortaPros today. These things are awesome. Comfortable, and comparable in sound quality to my $60 Turtle Beach headset. This might be the best $35 I've ever spent. Another thanks, to those who recommended these!
Protapros are some of the best cheap headphones you could buy. If you end up spending $60 again, watch out for grabbing grado SR-60 or SR-80s and sennheiser HD280 pros on sale. That'll open your ears and wallet up to entry level audiophile-dom
Actually, the Turtle Beach headset was a gift. It was great for Xbox gaming. I don't really play Xbox any more, though, so they're kind of in random use on my computer. They pick up footsteps very well, which is nice for STALKER, my only real FPS.
As it stands, I'm trying to save up money (gradually) to get a computer of my own. After that, I'll start stepping away from the budget line.
Plus, the PortaPros are (quite expectedly) portable. I'm very comfortable with tossing a $35 set in my bag. Not so much at the higher prices.
I personally wouldn't rate $60 as cheap
It's not, for standard headphones. There are basically 3 ranges (as I see it): Common, Quality, and Crazy. I'm shopping in the Quality range, of which the PortaPro is the bottom line. My $60 pair would be about the middle of it. The Quality range mostly applies to ("serious") gamers and music lovers. Kael is a very moderate example of the Crazy range.
On an unrelated note, I have way too many games. In a good way. My "My Games" folder has 56 separate game folders in it. And that's just the (legitimately) free stuff I've downloaded.
