Sadly my current headset is starting to go out so im looking for a new one. I would like it to be under $50 but it can go up to $70 but no higher. Since my current headset has virtual 7.1 surround sound and I spent $40 on it I would like the headset to have it as well. I also went a decent mic so people can hear me well. If possible I would like it to be red and/or black to match my pc setup. I do not like the ball end mics or mics that have the material on them I would rather it be plastic. Thanks for any help.

The clouds are very hard to beat in that price range. I second them (and recommend putting up with the foam wind screen, no reason not to use it)
There is no other match than the HyperX Cloud

Headphones: Kingston HyperX Cloud Core Headphones ($69.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $69.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

However an alternative are the Superlux 668B headphones with a custom mic.
 
Im sorry but I forgot to mention (will update post) I do not like the ball end mics or mics that have the material on them I would rather it be plastic.
