Hi guys, I need some help choosing a new headset because I'm a noob who has little idea what I need :p. My budget reaches about £100 max but if I can spend less I'd rather lol. I really want something with surround sound for FPS gaming but that is reasonable for music too. So is virtual or real surround better? USB or analogue? My motherboard has Realtek 5.1/7.1 surround from 3.5mm jacks (no optical) so can I use a good stereo headset on this for surround? Do I need all the different coloured jacks on the headset for analogue surround because most stereo ones come with just two (sound and mic)? At the moment I'm thinking of choosing between these two;

I did buy a Corsair vengeance 1500 which I returned. It sounded great but was way too tight for my big head and also had an annoying high pitched whining sound in the background.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks for reading.:)
 
It does look pretty awesome, but it only uses a standard stereo jack so can I get surround sound on it and would I have to get a sound card for 5.1?
