My birthday is coming up(17) and i was wondering what 7.1 surround sound headset i should get($175 or under) that will sound good with my onboard sound( asus sabertooth 990 fx)

Let me just state a few things before we get started:

1st - Pretty much all surround sound headsets are for gaming and come with a mic

2nd - Surround sound headsets are better at sound location than regular 2.1 cans but cannot reproduce sound as accurately

If you don't have an issue with noise level, speakers are the way to go if you are playing video games. Otherwise 7.1 headsets are neither the best sounding or the best surround sound.
