I like the looks of the ATH T400, is it good for my games and music library? http://i.imgur.com/18F3GFU.jpg

It is a good cheap headphone.

And what about the Vengeance 1500? Are they good? [i'm not really an audiophile, i just want some good audio ]

The 1500's aren't necessarily bad but I would only recommend going with them if you need to have the builtin mic. Otherwise, the M50's aren't a bad deal if you can find them on sale.

most of the time, if it has a mic, audio isn't that great. 1500 audio is mediocre, it sounds like a 30 dollar headphone(so not terrible, but you can get much better for the price you're paying)

M50s? Do you mean the ATH-M50s? Those things are out of my budget.

EDIT: Also, the ATH-T400s are not available in my country.

this maybe a little out of your reach but if you could push a few 20 dollars or 30, try get the ATH-M50s. they are an awesome pair of headsets, very comfortable with great audio balance without having to drain out any high mids or lows. well its a matter of preference to what kind of audiophile you are but if you are a person who is for balanced audio, go for the ATH-M50s if you can push the few dollars. or otherwise, if you are a bass audiophile, go for the sony xb-500. they have a good bass punch.

ATH-M50s are also not available...

Looks like everything from Audio Technica isn't in my country.

I am really leaning towards the Vengeance 1500 because it's Dolby 7.1 audio and that helps alot in games.

Please take a moment to ponder, how do they make 7.1 audio work with 2 speakers?    Any normal stereo system can do the same positioning, with just 2 speakers there is no way that you can differentiate sounds coming from the front and from the back.

I'd get a pair of Sony MDR-7506 or Sony MDR-V6 (same headphone). The Sony's should be available everywhere considering they're the most widely used studio headphone
