Yeah the X4's go for $130-150 new depending on where you buy, refurb is cheaper. I would probably go with the X41's for their USB power sourcing and their reduced hiss, but then again I'm the type of mook that pays $200 for headphones and yet won't buy a brand-new game that doesn't have the words "Guitar" or "Hero" in it (although if it's rated M for Mature and has nudity, I'll definitely consider it).
I think it comes down to one of those situations where "if you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it." Either you need really good headphones because you have no good way to play with speakers and/or HAVE to be quiet all the time, or else you have speakers and just want headphones for once in awhile quiet play. If that's the case, grab some $50 set. These $150-200 are for us n00bs that ONLY have headphones as a sound solution and thus we're willing to pay for expensive shit like wireless, 5.1/7.1, etc.
