Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Have you ever used these before?

Yep, sound quality is decent for the price, and they have a nice amount of bass, which is good for both music, and with gaming - makes hearing footsteps on Counter Strike a bit better.

Are they over-ear or on-ear?

I used to use Fatal1ty headset before and I wouldn't pay over £10 for them. Once you experience proper good headphones (I currently use the Superlux HD681 EVO) you'll realize how bad the Fatal1ty are. The HD681 EVO is just so much better. If you need a mic, Zalman ZM-MIC1 clip-on mic is a quick and cheap fix.

No, just no.

 

At the Sub £40 range, you won't really get much better. And those Superlux ones you mentioned isn't really "proper good" when it comes to headphones...

Superlux is a proper audio company. They may not make super expensive stuff, but what they do is great value, unlike "gaming headsets".

At that price point you really are not going to get anything that can really be considered better than those HS800's. And i've used them for a good couple years.

 

@OP If you could stretch to £45, these Gamecom 788's are quite nice - sound is nice, has adequate bass, and virtual 7.1.

Virtual 7.1 shouldn't be considered a selling point..

Depends, some people really like it. I like it myself but would rather have a high end stereo headset, like the DT990's i currently own.

I have DT 990's too, there great I'm just saying any headset is capable of virtual 7.1 with software.
