Need help selecting a surround headset!!

[joewukasch]

I've been putting a lot of time in to looking for a new headset for gaming and I've looked everywhere, even here, and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so I figured I would start a new post and find some new help. I have the ASUS Xonar DGX 5.1 sound card and I would love to have a headset that goes with it well. Two things though, It CANNOT be a wireless headset OR a USB headset... I have a budget of around $150 and not much more, I don't have a lot of money to be spending on a headset... any help will be greatly appreciated... thanks guys

I like the Sennheiser PC333D. It's around 150-175 Cnd$. However, some people really find that pair on the small side, so be wary of that before you take the plunge.

Hell, if I were you, I'd recommend visiting your local BestBuy or electronics store to just try some on that are on display. Then you can note the ones that fit great on your ears, and check on google or back here if the ones you're comfortable with are any good sound-wise.

EDIT: Hmmm.... sorry, but looks like I got mine for a steal... can't find any under 200$ right now. In any case, I'd look into Sennheiser's lineup (I generally like their headphones, so I gravitate towards them )...
