Just built a new Win98 setup with a Aureal Vortex 2 card and need to get some headphones that will work well with it, preferably with a longer cord than what my Alienware model has at 3.5 feet. Any ideas on a good set out there?

Audio Technica ATH-AD700X or maybe Sony MDR-V6. Depends on whether you want the whole room to hear what you're listening to. Open air designs do that but they are also more comfortable.

But actually I was always most impressed with what Vortex could do with just 2 speakers. Way more interesting than most other sound cards. Audigy / XFi headphone mode is more enjoyable to me than Vortex's.
