So for a present for my father I am looking to purchase a nice quality over-ear headset for him at work, and was considering the Bose QuietComfort 25, since I enjoy my pair of QuietComfort 15s so well.
However he also has a fascination with the Oculus Rift, and I thought it would be awesome to get him a headset he could take home and enjoy with the Rift.
Unfortunately while work would benefit from active-noise cancellation, the Rift would benefit from surround sound, like you find with gaming headsets.
Googling around I found a single pair of sub-optimal Turtle Beach headsets (poor reviews) that boasts both surround sound and active cancellation, but nothing else. These seem to be exclusive feature sets. I don't care about a microphone one way or the other.
Any advice for some headsets to look into? I'd like to stay south of the $350 mark.
