If you guys want headphones that have a huge soundstage and let you easily tell where the enemy is coming from then you should get these Audio Technica AD700.
I don't actually have them, but I heard there one of the best for gaming and they cost $100.

Really hoping this gets to 97 on metacritic.
C'mon GameTrailers
They did say in their preview that it's Naughty Dog's best game yet....and they gave UC3 a 9.5, FWIW
Yep on invisible wall he said it's not a perfect game but he enjoyed it more than the Uncharted games.
Part of the game takes place in Colorado? Wooooo.
I'm not going to lie, I love when games have settings where I live. Like Wild West games and the newest Forza. And Metal Gear Rising, of all games...
You wont regret it.
Didn't watch one either. Been dodging info too, the beginning of the description on the store page was news to me.
man i wish he we get the game soon >_<.
Have to leave home soon
If everything goes right i will hold it tomorrow in my hands. *runs away*

In the latest episode of Invisible Walls he said that the game will be remembered in the same way Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto as important titles gone by.

They really only shine at that when you have a soundcard that emulates 5.1 on PC or you use Dolby Headphone. As a straight stereo pair they are a bit more open though but not a huge soundstage. They are extremely accurate though and I know a lot of guys on PC use them for competitive gaming to hear footsteps
For something like TLOU you want a pair with good entertainment aspects that are fun to listen with and bring out the quality of the audio, not so much for soundstage or positional cues, but with good low, mids and highs
damn people like you made me order the ps3 official headset for this game alone i hope it can keep up with my expectations though.
also don´t know if this wasn´t wasted money how high is the chance that the headset will work wit the ps4 !?
Well, that changes things a bit. Oh well...

What's your price point?
Just like Sessler's review: only listen to it and you're fine.

Starts @ 22:08.
lets say up to 140 Euros - but 100 would be better
and i want them for gaming / movies exlusivly. I have sennheiser ie80 and a pair of audio.technica for music already
I'm rocking the Sony Pulse Wireless Headset Elite. These babies are absolutely wonderful. Best headphones I've ever owned.
EDIT: Oops, just saw your price point. These are a little more than your max price.
STAHP!
Seriously i have not seen one single person who doesn't like the intro, this is insane.

Why not just hook up the Audio Technica ones to your PS3?
Sure it's not ideal, but I do it and it still sounds fantastic.

ATH M50's are pretty good, but I think it might be out of your price range

Depends on what you're willing to spend and what you want out of headphones (gaming, music, everything, bass, positional audio etc etc.). The AD700s are really good for their price point, really comfy, do have that airy feel about them like the sound is outside your head rather than inside but for TLOU I don't think they will truly bring out all the best audio, they're a bit light on bass.
Surround headsets are good for positional cues and provide a pretty convincing surround feeling but you lose a lot of clarity and quality. If you're use to straight shitty headphones then they will still sound good though and you can get them cheap.
For higher quality audio you want something like the Beyerdynamic range. The DT 880s and DT 990s are awesome for gaming. Really rich sounding and really deep too. They're also open headphones which gives that airy feel but the bass is pretty powerful at times. It's a bit boomier than some other headphones. But depending on the Ohm value ou might need a headphone amp
The Audio Technica M50s are really good for bass and provide a punchier sound as opposed to the Beyer's boomy sound. It really depends on what you want out of your bass. Tight and punchy or low and boomy.
All in all I say go with a set of Beyerdynamics for a movie like sound. Where you get clarity and quality. Go with the AD700s if positional cues (where enemies are) means more. And the Audio Technica M50s if you want some really hard hitting bass
Here is the best thread on the net for Headphone decisions. It taught me so damn much.

The thing I didn't like about Uncharted 2 is the incredibly unsatisfying and terrible combat that felt like it didn't need to exist. If Last of Us even has mediocre combat I will be happy.
There's a reason for that. You'd have to be batshit insane or an incredibly bias fanboy not to think that the first 20 min of TLoU are some of the best ever.
Dem fucking shivers yo.

All y'all spoiling the intro for yourself ought to be ashamed! ASHAMED! That's quality narrative that deserves to be a part of a whole. You taking it all out of context and early is just a bad thing to do.
I agree, the shooting mechanics of Uncharted 2 are very poor and easily the biggest downside to the entire game.
They're not that bad, though. Turning the difficulty down to Easy solved my issues with that aspect of the game just fine.
Tomb Raider's combat blows Uncharted 2 away. Uncharted 2 blows Tomb Raider away in every other aspect, so far.
They do have a mic on them, it's built in. Works wonderfully.
Better design, has an audio jack that can be used with phones/laptops/mobile etc.
Main thing is the BassImpact technology it has in it. That stuff is great for when you really want to feel explosions and rumbling and such.

so the mic is like a small hole bluetooth have? sweet
Well the enemies are supposedly the same difficulty but in Hard you are just given way less supplies.

They're great for music too, I don't normally listen to dubstep but I just had to with those. They rattle your head lol
It is likely smoke in mirrors and less dynamic but it is still sexy though.
