What would you guys recommend? I can spend a good amount, but please don't exaggerate.
Bump, not sure what to get. I was planning on getting audiophile headphones for my PC and then just using them for my PS3 when I need to, but most of them aren't USB headphones so... Not sure what to do...

[URL]http://goo.gl/HjYBo[/URL][/QUOTE] this won't work well because you'll be stuck at one volume, you should get a DAC or amplifier of some type to connect to your PS3s audio out (TOSlink or just RCA) and then plug the headphones into that. Get some HD555, HTF600, or some other headphone with a good soundstage.
The ps3 wireless headsets a good option if you ask me, cheap too at 100 dollars.

On my PC. The sound quality sounds pretty good. Not that much bass though, but I hear things such as people behind me in call of duty well. And the microphone also works well.
