How do I choose what headphones are best for me?

by Rammstein420 Jun 30, 2009 9:49AM PDT

I see lots of features and lots of brands that look good but do not really have a clue whats best so an overview of the available features and other things i should look for would be appreciated. also any reccomendations would be appreciated. I have alittle over $200 to spend and will only be using these at my computer so portibility is a non issue (im assuming full size will be best) I will be using them for audio mostly (awsome high quality bass is desired as is good surround sound) and gaming features would be nice. I use a Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Soundcard if that matters.

I don't want to sound simplistic . . .

but you go to a store and listen to them. Have the salesperson connect them to a receiver and listen. Only your ears can tell, not our opinions.
