I've been using a set of Roccat Kave 5.1 headphones for the last couple of years but they're pretty much done for now; lots of crackling and hissing and certain channels cut out if you move the wire about.
I bought the Corsair Raptor HS40 as they claim to be 7.1 surround sound, are USB, and are fairly inexpensive. Unfortunately, after receiving them today I've discovered that it is in fact a stereo headset that somehow emulates 7.1 sound through a software application. Apparently. Little bit disappointed to say the least.
Anyway.
Cue a trip to return them to the store for a full refund. Meanwhile, what headsets are you guys using for gaming? I prefer at least 5.1 surround sound and preferably not going to break the bank. Any recommendations would be gratefully received.
