I'm a big fan of wearing headphones while gaming. I can't be the only one? I just played through Dead Space again and I could not image playing it with out headphones. It's just so much better.
I don't know why but the only systems that I use headphones are are handhelds like my 3DS or Vita. I just can't bring myself to wear headphones when I am playing a home console or my PC.

100% with you there, @Splat. I don't own a 5.1 speaker set and I have a daughter, which means I usually game late in the day, so I almost always play games with my trusty AKG headphones plugged into the TV.
I love it. Especially Dead Space was super intense because of the sound. Just could play 15 min at a time back then because it was so scary.
Will definitely upgrade to a proper 5.1/7.1 headset for my PS4 this year. Having headphones with surround sound would be the icing on the cake.
Even if I had a speaker set, I'm sure I'd play with headphones most of the time anyway. I love how crisp everything sounds and how good you can pinpoint the origin of sounds, even with mere stereo.
I once was about to get a turtle beach headset for just 60$ but then realized I could just buy 4 games with that money xD When the time comes I will eventualy get a headset/headphones.

That's part of the reason I don't use them. I mean I can see using them for a handheld especially if you travel so as not to disturb the people around you, but at home? I don't know about you guys but no one wears headphones when they are watching TV or a movie.
I did use to use a pair when I played on my PC and did raids on WoW but after a month or so they would stop working and after going through alot of headphones I just stopped wasting my money.
Yeah I could have bought a $60+ pair buy why would I use that on headphones when I can use that on a game?
