I /just/ sat on my Everglide S-500's that I got from Woot a while back. I am now purchasing a set of HD201's from Newegg for $20 shipped.
__________________Thanks for the dedication to this  Out of curiousity, where do the S-500s stack up in that compaison? Sure they aren't considered high quality at all, especially since they're in the same range as HD202/HD201.

I just figured I'd mention that I bought a set of JVC HA-RX900's, and they are absolutely amazing. The sound quality is very crisp and clean, the bass is there but not overpowering, and the soundstage is excellent IMO.
I'm no expert on headphones, but I'm very pleased for a ~$50-60 set.

Amazing guide.
I have the Sennheiser HD201 headphones - they are amazing. But I generally don't game with headphones - but man, I tried it once and for $25 off Amazon, they are amazing. I couldn't help but rep you twice for this guide. Good job.

Where do Razer products fit into this?
- geared at gamers - 5.1 and 7.1  They are awesome but presumably not the best?

Yep although to be honest, positional accuracy wise, I could have sworn I had the best after using my 5.1 speakers that were poorly set out due to the lack of space.  Price was a bit of a deterrent (against Seinhesser) though.

Regarding Front Ports Sound degrading, Is there anyway for me to split the soundcards port so that I can have both the speakers + headset installed with loss of sound quality?
 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Scan-...P3-Players-Etc) Something like this? Also will the channels be mixed up (I run both speakers/headphones in the same channel mode 2:0 Or can I improve the front ports inner cable? Electronically isolate it? Will my powered speakers or headphone quality be degraded more than just using the front ports like I am now?

The platronics switcher looks like your item As for being able to electronically isolate, i'd have to look into that myself, never really asked around the forums for that.
