Headphones - My DSP-500s have finally kicked it.
-
Today is a sad day. While unpacking my backpack from my recent trip to San Francisco, I discovered that my DSP-500 headphones had broken. I've had these things throughout my entire adult life and most of my CS "career", and they were otherwise still in 100% working order. I am bummed, but I guess it was $60 well spent.
I am eager to purchase new headphones asap, but I am nearly a decade out-of-touch of the headphone market. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Budget isn't really a concern, and I'd prefer USB. -
I've always been a fan of sennheiser.
Couple of my friends swear by these:

I went through two pairs of DPS-500 in 4 years, so I was a bit disapointed. I've now been using the same pair Icemats for the last 5 years and they have worked out nicely. The ones I have aren't usb, but I prefer that since I can plug them into my ipod or phone for listening. Durability would be my main plus for them as they have taken a beating.
Recently bought a pair of Bose QC-15s. Honestly, I might have been better to served to get 3 pairs of sennheiser gaming headsets, but "turning off the world" is pretty enjoyable in its own right.
PooPoo to on-ear headsets... I thought you were better than that Frat... -
I have a fix in place that provides the correct balance on my head: http://imgur.com/a/7tbgr
