X-Fi Card and which headphones?

Hi Folks, long time reader, first time poster!

I'm going to pick up the Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Professional 7.1 Soundcard, as I'm playing a huge amount of Battlefield 2142 (please can I have my life back?)

However, I'm looking for some cans that will really make the most of the sound it produces, so looking for some 5.1 / 7.1 options I'm considering the SpeedLink Medusa SL-8793, is this a good option, is there anything better?

cheers for your help

hi, anyone got any thoughts, need a mic with the headphones too?

if you want something to make the most out of your game, avoid those cheap 5.1 headsets and put your money in some decent closed, circumaural, cans.
You will get more pleasure and more sense for the game out of a real pair of cans than 'gamers uber leet 5 speakers in Each EarZors' headstes

edit: do you have a budget ?

thanks for the comment, budget was around the £50 mark, but flexable.
