I'm looking for the absolute best headset I can get for gaming and music for under $150. They need to be durable, as I move them back and forth between houses, as well as a decent microphone. I'd like to get surround sound, as I play many competitive shooters like CSGO. Would prefer a USB headset as well as closed back with decent passive noise cancellation. Any recommendations? Thanks! Right now I'm looking at the Cloud II's or the Cloud Revolver.

hxc isnt a bad choice but do yourself a favor and buy a soundcard and plug in via analog. the included soundcard was not-so-good in the past and and i'm not sure if its still flakey or not. the difference in price pays for a soundcard better than what was included anyways.

the game one (hd518/558 based) is also good but its only stereo unless you run razer surround or have a soundcard with virtual surround support. its open back though.

for gaming advantage, you might like closed headphones like the a500x, a microphone of your choice and a soundcard for virtual surround.
