Best headsets to use for gaming

[sunman333]

People say online hyper x cloud alpha is top notch for budget headset. Some people say a cheap headset with surround software will work almost the same. I am debating between the alpha with the 7.1 dongle from Revolver or free razor surround software and a 20.00 pair of headphones from amazon. What is your thoughts on money well spent?

7.1 can be emulated with the razer software like you said, so we can basically ignore that for now.
However, using that software with a cheap pair of headphones will sound nothing like a quality set. The drivers on the Clouds are going to be far superior.

Instead of buying the headset plus a dongle separately, just buy some Cloud IIs.
