There's a review here on TPG.

Psyko Audio Labs, Psyko 5.1 PC Gaming Headphones - Home

I wasn't impressed with the Psyko's... especially for $300+

I have the Sennheiser PC 350's which I think are WAAAAY better than the Psyko and cheaper.

Unfortunately, I only got to try out the Psyko's at QC on Ira's rig before he figured out how to tweak his sound card settings to best utilize them, so I won't relate my experience with them.

However, I do love my G35's. The USB connectivity is actually one of the best I've used, and the sound quality is fantastic. Lots of solid bass, crisp highs, clear mids, and phenomenal surround sound for movies. I recently lent my desktop speakers to a friend of mine for a project he's working on, so I've been forced to use the G35's exclusively for everything audio related for the past couple weeks, which has just reinforced my love for this headset. If you have gigantic ears, then yeah, the earcups might be a bit small, but if you have gigantic ears, you're probably also used to earcups being a bit small. That said, I love this headset.

Also, you can program one of the hotkeys to sound like a chipmunk. Nothing better than telling someone to suck your <insert random body part here> in the voice of a 5 year old child. It's like XBox LIVE, but funny!

Love my G35. When I want to hear shit out of my speakers, I just right click on the volume control, click "Playback Devices" and change the default to my sound card. Vice versa on swapping it back to the USB headset.

Regardless of how we reviewed them... they cost $300 and won't sound much better than the G35s. Read some comparison reviews.

The biggest thing im worried about with the G35's are the pivot point mainly because my my steel series broke ant a connection point. From what Ive seen about the Psykos I havent been very impressed, so I'm gonna pass on those.

Any other ideas? Looks like support is on the G35's

Sennheiser PC151 is the best. Extremely comfortable and great positional sound. Allows me to get my noob on in CS.

I have the PC350's but they make ears sweat because they engulf the whole ear.
