Are these headphones good for gaming?

Newegg has these on sale for $75:

The reviews are mostly focused on music rather than gaming, but I would only be using the headphones for gaming. How do these compare on price/performance to other headphones if you're only using it for gaming?

I don't need a mic, just looking for realistic immersive sound when gaming.

Oh ok. IMO if they're good for music, they're good for gaming. I'm no audiophile, but I don't really see how headphones could be good for music and not be good for gaming or vice versa.

Hard to beat that price, I say go for it

Some gaming headsets will do fake surround processing of surround sound input (Logitech G35, FI). Fake surround + microphone + integrated audio chip = gaming headset. Two drivers and an analog plug = headphones.

Thanks, I decided to snag them.

I prefer doing fake surround processing with my sound card (Dolby Headphone effect).

Do post back when you get to use them

Will do.

Anyone know if the onboard sound for the ASRock Z68 Pro3 has Dolby Headphone support?

Everything sounds like you are right there with the action. Fake Surround Sound FTW.
The USB makes everything so much better with it. I highly recommend this set.
