Hey guys, I want to buy a new pair of headphones, I will use them mostly for casual music and gaming also, It is quite important to me that they would be closed back, do you have any reccomandations?
I hear different kinds, mostly I hear rock, folk and pop, also the new popular songs that come out now and again.
I play alot of fps and would like to know where the shots are coming from and such but I don't intent on buying 5.1 or 7.1 headphones.
To be clear: I don't want somekind of gaming headset and I do not need a mic :)
Thanks!

The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's served me well for years for both music and games; they're closed back and block out a fair amount of outside sound--$85

Edit: not sure they're quite good enough for positional sound in gaming though. The Sony PS3/PC Pulse headset offers virtual 7.1 and is half decent, but has a mic you can't remove (it doesn't really get in the way either, though).
