    5.1 headsets / headphones

    Ok, I usually don't like to use headsets, but I think a pair would be worth while for gaming.

    The mic I use is near enough to a speaker it feeds back into voice. I'd like to stop that from happening.

    Ok, so... does anyone have any recommendations for a true surround sound 5.1 headset? Preferably recommendations from previous purchases, etc?

    I don't want stereo, that wouldn't make sense. I've got a 5.1 speaker system, and positional sound is just too important to lose.

    I am running with these
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826235001
    TRITTON AX360 Coaxial & Fiber Optic Connector Circumaural True 5.1 Digital Audio Gaming Headphones

    They are pretty good, and I have actually been freaked out a few times when I heard something I thought was behind me and turned around, but turned out it was just the rear channel speaker.

    After quite a bit of research, I went with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826502008

    I'll write a little bit of feedback on them once they arrive.
