For gaming I use Plantronics. If it was good enough for Alan Sheppard & Neil Armstrong, it's good enough for me.

I use a pair of Sony MDR-CD570, for recording music and playing the game.

They are pretty old now, but cost around $100, and sound excellent for both.

Edit: They are just phones, no mic.

I'm under the assumption these would not be used for AH, but for listening.

Sennheiser HD-485 is what I have. Had them for a couple years now. They get dropped once in a while but never had a problem. Pretty good base. Around $80 online. Skies the limit with their stuff. Bought a pair of ear canal headphones for my fiancee and exceptional base. Got those on sale for about $45 at Xmas, last time I checked around $70.

Get the sony mdr 7506. That headphone is THE Industry standard, used by people who work at radio/tv broadcasting and DJ-ing.

Sony mdr 7506 is a 1980s headphone that is still revered today. That headphone is very rugged and it's not unusual to hear someone who bought it in 1980s and still using it today. The paddings don't last forever, there's plenty of replacement parts and mods for paddings.
