What Gaming headset should i get, list Pros / cons

the sound quality issues on the hxc2 are due to the soundcard (do NOT use the soundcard with them).

generally i'd just stick with the hxc1 if you wanted them.

given your budget of about 80gbp, perhaps the hd518 headphones (70gbp) and pairing them up with a clip on microphone? sound quality will be much better than a hxc and mic quality would depend upon the quality of the mic you buy.

stereo sound only (you can use razer's virtual surround software or get a cheap soundcard if you wanted native virtual support).

just an idea for you.
