I plan on ordering a headset this weekend and this one is in strong consideration. This is a tuff market. I want 5.1 sound in a headset with alot of bass and the force feedback sounds cool but its only simulated 5.1 with this set. Seems thou if you go with true 5.1 in a headset they lack in sound quality unless you want to spend hundreds.

This set here goes for $55 at newegg and seems to be the best one around 50 bucks. I've been researching headsets for the past week with plans to spend $50-$100 on a decent headset and all seem to have flaws of some sort. I've looked into so many headsets and not a single one has jumped out and made me say to myself, WOW this is the one, even in the $100+ price range.

But I am sure anything I buy in my price range is going to be better than my super ghetto set http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6826106502 which I have been using about a year now.
