These have been recieving rave reviews everywhere, and won a bunch of tests:

Seems like 5.1 is the way to go when it comes to gaming. Has anyone tried this kind of headphones?

I have the Zalman "5.1" headphones and they're pretty good. Cheap too, I think I got them for $60 something Canadian. It does give me some 3D localization for games, but probably not as good as the Medusa. There's no 'sub' in my cans. Sound quality is pretty good. A little heavy, but you get used to it.

Remember, I'm using them for gaming, not for listening to music, so I don't need absolute top-of-the-line hifi stuff.

The 570's are just as comfortable and in your price range.

Not only that but the volume control on mine is fucked and causes the right speaker to short out over 75% volume unless I apply pressure to the nob.

The sound quality is good for the price though.
Dude, call logitech and get them replaced, you got a bum pair
Well I can live with the volume its the downward pressure they put on my ears that gets to me after a while.

Take them and put them on something that stretches them a little bit.. and let it sit overnight, kinda like a new baseball glove and having to form it..

dunno if that's going to help the "downward pressure"

oh yeah I had those headphones that Soap posted...they are ok...I rolled over the cord with my chair a few times and they stop working within 2 weeks. By comparision..i have another set of sony dj headphones...ive rolled over the cord 1000's of times and they still work great. But for $30~ what can you expect.
