Recently my Azio Levetrons(http://www.aziocorp.com/en/headsets/4-levetron-gh808-usb-gaming-headset.html) broke and I'm looking for a new headset. I don't want to down-grade sound quality wise either. Not a big fan of usb but want to get the best experience for my price range. Preferably a hide-able mic. Could I also get opinions on:

Siberia V2: http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-v2

Razer Tiamat 2.2: http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-audio/razer-tiamat-22/

I know those aren't 7.1's but Iv'e been told they are pretty good. Thanks!

I'm currently using a steelseries siberia v2 and I should just point out that it's the most durable headset I've ever had. That being said, I really don't think the sound quality is all that great for music, however it's perfectly fine for gaming and the mic quality is up there. It comes with some passive sound isolation which is really good for staying focused on a game, especially games like counter-strike.

I used to use a Razer tiamat 2.2, although the cable broke after a couple weeks. Downgrading from the Logitech G930 (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-Surround/dp/B003VANOFY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400341067&sr=8-1&keywords=g930) I was pretty disappointing with the sound, so after my warranty went through, I just decided to go for a new headset. I now have an unopened one sitting in my room that I could talk about selling to you if you'd like (I'll PM you my contact info), however just bare in mind that it's unopened for a reason. I feel like the Razer Tiamat 2.2 really only suffers when it comes to listening to voice communication over something like Teamspeak and Vent just because it's 2.2, however i'd say for music and gaming it's generally superior to the Siberia in terms of sound quality.
