I need a sound recommendation. I am looking for a headset for my PC and Xbox (xbox chat is not that needed). Right now I am using a laptop that hasBuilt-in Azalia compliant audio chip, with 3D effect & full duplex. Not sure what that means, but 5.1 or 7.1 is important to me, even if it's faked, I want to be able to hear where a sound is coming from.

For headsets I am looking at (sorry gamespot is not liking it when I try to link them, I am looking at ncix.ca)

Corsair Gaming Audio Series CA-HS1A Headset 50MM - $45

Siberia V2 -$89

Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 - $59

Razer Chimaera - $126 built in 5.1

In order to make it 5.1/7.1 for my xbox I am guessing I will use the astro mix amp 5.8 pro. Will this also work for my computer to generate nice surround sound?

I will also be using these headphones for work, to make things a bit quieter (noise cancellation headphones are too expensive, so I don't expect that)

Any suggestions would be great.

Looking to spend up to $200 but I would rather spend a lot less. (if I can get by without the mix amp pro that would be awesome)
