Headphone Recommendations
I need a recommendation on headphones that aren't too expensive but have good audio output for, primarily, video editing but also gaming. Any model come to mind?

I have American Acoustics 770M they are good. I do some video editing and gaming ... But there are a lot of others too... AKG's and Sennheiser to name a few manufacturer's

Cheap Grados are good for their price, I use the SR-60 without an amp.

System Specs

For video editing, the Sony MDR-V6/MDR-7506 are what I'd recommend, extremely accurate playback, not as "pleasant" as some headphones, but it's a case of what-you-hear-is-what's-there
I use mine for gaming as well and they perform well

Though the V6 is better. The only difference between the V6 and the 7506 is that the 7506 has a gold plated connector, has a flatter range (ugh), and costs more.
Oh, and don't confuse the V6 with the V600.

i have demo'd both pairs side by side, my v6 and school's 7506, couldn't really tell much of a difference, but then it was only for a few minutes and from music stored on my mp3 player, so not exactly the best to go on

the 7506 has a flatter range? hmm that would be more desirable for audio purposes…
