Need New Headphones...

Ginsu Victim:
They referenced Yojimbo.

That's a win in my book.

(They reference SO much stuff that the DVDs come with a reference guide for those who are less in the know)

I just got a pair of Medusa 5.1 Pro-Gamer headphones.  Work great. Front and Rear sounds are handled via different speakers in the ear set, and there is great bass response.

My wife just started watching it... I can't deal with those types of shows but I do see a lot of hot chicks when I walk past the TV.

Can always count on the CW for hot chicks!

 Sennheiser's  Model 500 or above.

 Ive posted a review in the review forum.   

 Best pair of Headphones Ive ever owned.   Hear things you never heard
before in music - because they are so clear and accurate.
 
 Headphone cord is ported, so easy to remove and replace when it gets damaged.

 Ear Pieces replaceable,  as well as other parts.

 Extremely Comfortable.  Ive worn them over 10hrs without any pain or discomfort.

 Durable.  Mine are like over 10yrs old.. and still sound brand new.  Just
replaced the ear covers recently.  Any other headphone Ive owned usually
only lasted maybe 2yrs at most.   Anything from an internal cord break, to
a broken assembly.
 

 As for surround..  they actually sound like there is a surround system on
when playing a dvd.   Its incredible.     Some choose to get true surround
phones...  however..  Given the choice between 4 so/so sounding speakers,
or 2 of the most awesome hi-def speakers you have ever heard...  well, I
personally chose the clarity over the number.

 (not to mention all the rest of the features)

 
 As for noise reduction headphones...  they are very awkward.   They uses
sound pressure to cancel out the other noises... and the pressure is felt
inside your ears.  Its annoying and uncomfortable.

 However, the worst part is that they do not cancel out voices or other
high frequency sounds.   They only work well with low frequency noises.. such
as airplane engine noise,  rumbles,  white noise...etc.

Well, cue the 4 horsemen, because I agree with Xiaou2 on the brand recommendation ... although with Seinheiser, I would not queue off of the numeric portion of model number -- they have different lines and the numeric part of the model number doesn't mean as much as Xiaou2's suggestion might imply.

EDIT:  I have a pair of Sennheiser's that I "found" in my boss's office in 1987 (!) and they are still fabulous.
