Before you just go shouting different headsets at me, I have a few things I need:

1. It MUST be USB, my audio jacks are not working for both my case and MB. I dunno why, it's not the software or the drivers.

2. I must be 7.1 surround sound, I already have a headset but it's not 7.1 which is why I want a better one.

3. It has to have a mic, because gamez.

4. It has to be over-ear, I wear glasses so if they rest on my ears and can start to hurt.

5. It can't be more then $150, I don't have a lot of cash to spend and this is pushing it a bit.

I would also prefer it to be wireless and be less then $100, but it doesn't have to be.
I'm also a big fan of Razor but if I like another headset better I will totally buy it.
Thanks for the help! :D

The Logitech G930 is ok, I would like to warn you of how some people have had wireless problems, your taking the risk. Here are some headsets I recommend:

Creative EVO Zx - http://us.creative.com/p/gaming-headsets/sound-blaster-evo-zx

Creative Tactic3D Omega Wireless - http://us.creative.com/p/gaming-headsets/sound-blaster-tactic3d-omega-wireless

Corsair H2100 - http://www.corsair.com/en/corsair-gaming-h2100-wireless-dolby-7-1-gaming-headset

These are some top wireless headsets in your range (the EVO Zx is bluetooth though). Hope this helps!

Just touching bases again here. That's a fair complaint BlueFireZ, but from my personal use of over a year I have not had any issues. Hell I can go 2 rooms over and it still works.

There are some other well reviewed ones I could recommend, but the G930 I referenced is the one I use and I must say its a great product (in my opinion :))

It's a shame about your audiojacks. For $150 you could have had a dank pair of regular headphones and a clip on mic with some virtual surround software that would have put whatever does ultimately meet your described parameters to shame in quality of sound and quality of build.

I know, I was extremely frustrated with it. I took it to a computer repair shop (To a man who has been fixing computers for 15 years) and he said he was completely stumped. It was the weirdest thing he had ever seen.

If you really want audio jacks why not buy a PCI based audio card like this one?:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829265001&cm_re=audio_card-_-29-265-001-_-Product

You can get more expensive cards for better quality if you want, but this card here is a solid choice, I have had many integrated audio modules fail on mobos and fixed their issue by buying one of these. Simple PCI interface, easy to install.

Because having a wireless headset is still very nice and that's something you can't have with audio ports. The only thing I wish was working was my front headphone jack for my earbuds when I don't want to wear a headset.

Then like I said, go with the G930.

I love my G930's as well. I've had them going on a year now. No issues so far. They still work great and will pretty much stay charged for a whole days worth of gaming. Roughly 10 hours.

My favorite thing about them is while I use them, if I go to smoke in the garage I can keep them on and still talk to my friends in Raidcall. I highly recommend them over anything else from my great experience with them.

Only other headset I would recommend are the Corsair's BlueFireZ linked in his OP. I've heard good things about them and I am a fan of Corsair. I would take the G930's. If not the Corsair's will do you just fine.
