Looking For a Good Headset

[VoteableLlama]

I'm just posting this to see if anyone knows of a quality headset that's $60 or under. I would like it to last a while, so it should be pretty durable. Thanks in advance .

The headset will primarily be used for gaming, so a microphone is necessary.

leather ?
velvet ?

I don't have a preference on the ear cups, and I live in the US. My budget is $60.

oh and here's a cheaper version of that corsair headset, but it doesn;t have 7.1 audio.

However, some sound cards can create digital surround which is not bad. so cheaper stereo headsets can have some sort of surround effect

I would never suggest 7.1 to anyone... it is only emulated and it sucks!

If you need to get a 5.1 or 7.1 get it "true" so with multiple speakers... I do have an entry level Trust 5.1 (True) headset and I love them, they are not "perfect" but for gaming they do the job really well and the 5.1 is good (of course it doesn't match a good home theater).
