I highly recommend Sennheiser headphones if you have the money for them, they aren't cheap but the quality is what you pay for.

Also you might want to look into what sort of soundcard you have. Larger more powerful headphones are usually designed to be used with a headphone amplifier or dedicated powered headphone jack. Without these the headphones won't be able to reach their performance level.

There are a few soundcards out there with built-in headphone amplifier jacks, my Auzentech X-Fi Forte is one. I use it with a Sennheiser PC350 headset and it sounds great.

... forget it all!

You want a real effect, more than a headset can provide?
Get a "buttkicker-gear":

Concerning your question if a pair of headphones is worth the money I can honestley say YES it is. I bought a SENNHEIZER PC 360 GAME headset worth 160.-€ last week an use them in COD (beta patch). The gaming experience is totally different. The headset brings you quiet very close into the game. (Outstanding!!!) The only thing that you have keep in mind is that you should use a soundblaster card. (XFI CMS3D enabled, Gaming Mode, XFi-Crystalizer enabled, soundcard in Headset modus!!!)
With this hardware the game is a different experience. With TRACK IR 5 the game is very good to play (big advantage against all ods). I strongly recommend to use a soundblaster card with a good headset and TRACK IR 5.

Well its just my little joke.
Prior to latest beta patch, in multiplayer if you didnt disable the trees you run a strong possibility of loosing all sounds.
