Looking to buy a Headset, for gaming only.

Im looking to spend about £50-100, maybe over if its well worth it.

i dont know if i should go for 2.1 or 5.1 but whatever is best for gaming im game.

Order of things that are Important to me are

1. Sound Clarity
2. Feel/Comfort
3. Looks

Any Advice for this thanks
 
I use one, recommend it.

Comfortable, good sound quality, excellent MIC etc.

All round a great headset, and at that price you simply cant beat it.

There are better, but expect to pay double at a minimum for better!

It's good for the price, but for your budget range the Kington Hyper XCloud 2 would sound much much better than the Creative 800.

The Creative is like a £25 headset punching the weight of a £30-£40 headset, whereas the XCloud 2 is a £75 punching the weight of £100+ properly headphones.

Also the XCloud 2 comes with a (detachable) soundcard (the soundcard is only entry level, but it will enable virtual surround and would definitely sound better than plugging in standard stereo headset into the motherboard's crappy onboard sound).
