Hi guys, I wanna buy a headphone for gaming, but I really hate headphones without a good bass.
Another thing to take note is that I don't want anyone hearing what I'm hearing.
Also, I like headphones where the foam/cushion completely covers your ear, I mean, foam/cushion all around your ear, but not over it.
I can buy those models: (only those, help me decide between them please)
Philips - SHP2500/00
Philips - SHP2700/00
Everglide S-500
SteelSeries 3H
SteelSeries 4H
Sennheiser HD 201
As far as I know, philips gives you awesome bass and music quality, but how are them on gaming?
Also, steelseries do serious sound directioning, but how about the bass?
I don't know anything about everglide headphones.
And those sennheisers... since I'm buying those in Brazil... the sennheisers cost 3 times more than the philips and the everglide, and twice the cost of the stellseries. Do they worth the price?
Thanks guys!

Also take a look at the Logitech G35, it's a really nice headset you can pick up off ebay (new) for $80, vs the retail of $99 on Newegg and $125 at other stores.

The SteelSeries products are more of a headset than a headphone for gaming. If you buy a headphone for gaming then you'll also need to buy a mic separately.

The best way to pick which is best would be to go to a local computer store and try each one individually and choose the one you like best.

I heard that steelseries are good for gaming but same reviewer said they not as good for music as they are for gaming. I also know Sennheiser are great whether its for music or gaming. I probably would go for Sennheiser.
