Well tonight we got the cops called on us at our new place because of the sound (BF2 and the system below in my sig) :D So it looks like I will need a good headset. Any ideas?

I'd go with one of the following:

Sennheiser PC130 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106348)
Sennheiser PC150 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106346)

Are you wanting just headphones, or are you looking to also have a mic on the headset for the games??

I have a mic mounted by my monitor so it isn't neccessary but if it doesn't cost any extra to have one on the headset then I will just replace it.

I have the 150's the HIho linked. I like them a lot. If I were to get new ones tho I would go for some that have 5.1 directional sound. Prolly will be hella expensive tho.

Yeah. The Medusa 5.1's are like 95 shipped on ebay. Those are some pricey headphones.

If you don't need a headset with a mic there are plain headphones that will work great.

Sennheiser HD497 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106320)

I will also recommend Sennheisers, any model. The sound is amazingly neutral and they can go very loud if you like being deaf.

I heard great things about those Medusa 5.1's. Tom's hardware gave them a great review over the Sennheisers.

Yeah I went ahead and ordered those Medusa 5.1's. We will see how great they are.

You should be happy with them. I've never heard of those before. Anyway, the Sennheiser HD models are much better than the PC models that they tested in the review.
