I am currently using a Plantronics GameCom Pro1 USB headset, however this is not working in Vista x64 as the mic crackles over Ventrilo, and thats not acceptable, and I just bought an Auzen X-Fi Prelude and decided to go with analog type headset to use with the prelude.

I am currently looking at either Sennheiser's PC155 or PC166 headset. I couldnt find any distinct differences in these, is there?

That or some other recommendations for the best gaming headset available right now would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I believe this is the best gaming headset you can get:

The ultimate gaming headset? (Beyerdynamic DT 770 microphone mod) - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio
Beyerdynamic DT 770 microphone mod v 2.0 (updated) - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

or maybe

Sennheiser Worldwide: HMEC 25-CAP - Pilot Headset - Communication System - Active Noise Cancellation / Aircraft - Material Equipment

I actually ended up buying Sennheiser PC166 headset, it got here today. I am quite impressed with it.

DT-770 mod? that's pretty cool

i like the sound of the 770s, but you'd want to chuck a better mic on

This would be my perfect headset , I already have the headphone part, excellent sound

EDIT: didn't see the second link the HMEC 25 cans - I've used those too, but the impedence is too high for computers/general amps (designed for aviation) so it will really affect the low-end frequency response, the HMD 25s i linked to will sound more natural
