As the title says, I'm looking for a new pair of head phones for gaming. Problem is I'm not very knowledgeable about head phones or sound cards. I would say my budget is probably around 2000DKKR (215GBP) for the lot. My current headset is a Logitech G930, and I've been kinda disappointed in the quality, had them for about 3 years now I would think. My main reason for originally buying wireless head phones was that my old headphones had too short cables and so if i moved just a little bit they would be yanked off my head. Honestly I am not really interested in wireless head phones anymore.
Here is what I want:
Good/Great Audio quality
Long enough cable
Comfortable fit
and possibly 5.1 or 7.1 surround
My current mobo is an Asus P8P67 Evo:

I'm not sure if i need a sound card with or not, but i don't want to waste the sound quality by using crap built-in hardware if that is the case.
I'd prefer if it was in the 1500DKKR (161GBP) area though I can make an exception if it is really worth it.
EDIT:
Should also have a good Mic for gaming with friends.

Audio Technica ATH-M50X - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50X-Monitor...

It's a shy over £161, it's actually £168, but trust me. This kit will drastically improve the sound quality.


Looks good except I dont think it has a mic, (i should have added that to the description as a criteria) which i kind of need for gaming with friends. Do you know any alternatives with a Mic? (mic should also be decent, if that makes it cost a bit extra then so be it.)
