    Hey all,

    I am looking for recommendations on some wireless headphones/headsets.
    I WAS looking at the Logitech G930 - Which are supposed to be very good in every way
    for a wireless gaming headset (at about £100). However i've decided to look around a little
    before plumping for the first wireless set i've seen.

    I know that proper headphones by Sennheiser, AKG etc are better than "for gaming" ones so I am
    very much open to recommendations of those too. Infact, more so.

    I would LIKE for them to be around the £100 mark, however I don't mind it going up to nearer
    £200. But I think that is excessive on a pair of headphones.

    They MUST be closed cup, like the G930's, Senn515's etc - I'm open to headsets with mics and
    normal headphones. I can get a mic cheap, it doesn't matter.

    Surround sound would be nice, if its good and not a terrible gimic.

    I don't know about the sound quality etc of wireless vs wired headphones. But I don't want
    wired suggested because of superior sound etc - I already have some wired which are fine.

    Any and all wireless recommendations will be looked at.
    Any help appreciated guys :)

    Cheers

    For wireless phones, try some Sennheiser RS 170's. I owned a pair for a while and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, didn't notice any difference vs a wired pair of headphones.

    @Xcellente
    I'm using the onboard sound from my P5Q Pro. Unfortunately the X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro I have stopped
    working driver-side in windows vista and causing BSODs after working fine for 3 years. Very weird.
    Can't be bothered putting it back in to try with Windows7.

    Cheers for RS170 recommendation, i'll look into them. :)

    Just though i'd add - they will be used for games and music. So can't have delays in the signal
    or whatever it is i've heard people go on about wireless being terrible. :)
