Used for gaming. Don't care if theres a mic or not, just need a pair with surround sound to use when the kids are abouts to filter out the bad language in various games. I only have onboard sound if that makes any difference.
I'm cheap, whats a good set of gaming headphones for $50-80?

Vengence 1300 if you have a soundcard, 1500 if you don't.
I need to tell you to take that, believe me i saw plenty of reviews,for at least 2 weeks,and you don't have to do that work, for gaming you will want bass of course ,but good frequency response,take the sony MDR V55.
5hz-25000hz
By 3 ppl who tested them,they all said the quality is similar to the beats studio.
The second best choice could be something like a sennheiser HD 439 i guess,but there is not much bass,as ppl say...
If you don't believe me you can google them and check rewiews,anywhere,the sound quality is said "amazing" and they are quite confortable! I tested em for 3 days now,awesome for gaming,even onboard sound,it's great. For music,they perform the best with dubstep and electronic music. (DJ headphones)
i got them for 54 euros,i'm sure you can get them for 65-70$,they were originally around 100$ and they were launched in 2012 i think.

Careful,they don't come with a 6.35mm adapter.Only 3.5 jack.
For vangeance 1500 headset,i have a friend who owns a 1500,and there is horrible cracking noise,headphones failure :/ he tested with his 2 PC's and differend soundcards,it's the same...Maybe it's just a bad luck,but i would not recommend it.
Don't forget that you also pay for a mic and several speakers (7.1) so the sound quality is not the same as if you had 2 speakers for the same price.

Really nice stuff folks. I think I could swing those Vengeance 1500s by the wife. The sonys are still around $100 and thats too much for headphones for how often I'll use them.
Is there nothing adequate in the $50-80? The closer to $50 the better.

there is no such thing as a "gaming" headphone.
good audio is good audio, whether its for movies, music, game etc. Putting gaming in the name is just a marketing gimmick to get you to buy it.
Headsets (usually) don't have great audio, Id recommend you spend about 100 dollars on a good pair of headphones and then buy a cheap 5 dollar zalman clip on mic.

One of my favorite sets of all time was $70, plantronics gamecom, nice big thick pads on the cans and you can wear then for hours at a time with no pinching.
