So having just ordered a XtremeMusic off Amazon, I think I should upgrade my headphones too. A few months back I did buy some HD201's for like $30 because I heard they were good budget headphones for gaming/music. I got them and they sound great on my iPod, but for some odd reason I can't get them loud on my PC. Even with volume at 100% both in the game and in Windows I could not get them to an acceptable volume level. I figured it was onboard sound so I just used them on my iPod from then on.
I heard that the HA-RX series from JVC was a good budget headphone, but how do they compare to what is out there? I want to at least wait until my XtremeMusic comes in and give the HD201's another go but I may want to switch to something else if they don't work out.
Anyhow the specs of what I have now are:

I am not sure if this is good or bad because I am not a big in-depth audio person, but it can't be that great considering they are some crappy Zalman headphones I got from a friend.
