Best surround sound headset for FPS? HELP

[Trisgav]

I need a new headset, I can not stand my trash G430’s. So what I need is a headset with good quality, I don't listen to music so that type of audio quality isn't needed. I need a headset that can help me pinpoint where exactly footsteps are coming from in a game like CounterStrike. If it were black/red that would be great. General quality overall would be good and I refuse to buy anything that uses Logitechs software. I'm also interested in the HyperX cloud (stereo) but it wouldn't be really what I need. I really need help, so thank you whoever does.

Check this out, Tom's just did a review. No price yet, but I'm keeping my eyes open.

Those look really cool, but with my luck they'll be 300+ dollars :V

So my first pair the metal cracked, the plastic cracked, and then the ear part just fell out. Now my second one is when I learned about the software that comes with it, which you need to turn on surrond sound. Now for this headset, surrond sound doesn't work and I can only hear out of the right ear. I've tried every fix on forums and they only stay fixed for a hour or two.

I have been using Sennheiser PC360 which I find are fantastic having sound great for for music and watching movies etc but absolutely stunning in comparison to even my old Astro A40s (EDIT: For Gaming, of course). I'm no audio expert so I suggest asking around and reading up but I would highly recommend the headset.

Here it is for apparently $188 which is around what I payed for the Standard PC360s this is a slightly newer model with a braided cord although it is the wrong colour for what you were after there IS a black version but seems to be more expensive for whatever reason.
Someone else will have to chime in on how good it is for gaming without using hardware with virtual surround since I use my Astro Mixamp and a Xonar DSX. I can't imagine its bad though seeing as I went without the amp for about a week and while it took a bit to adjust to I could still use audio to my advantage in games to a large extent (Legendary Eagle in Counter Strike: GO).

So again, I would certainly put my vote towards this headset although a bit pricey I am finding them well worth the money.
