I'm looking for some really good gaming headphones

[Bajaratt]

I have a Creative Fatal1ty headset that is an awesome headset for the price, but I'd like something with better fidelity and if possible surround sound.

I like the idea of the Logitech G35 headset,especially since I love my logitech surround system for my computer; but I absolutely do not want a USB headset. I had the USB version of that creative headset and I hated the USB connection; it forced me to have my computer recognize the USB connection as the primary sound device BEFORE I activated a program or it wouldn't work. And occasionally I'd hear this bizarre distortion until I unplugged and reconnected them; so a USB headset is out.

So, I'm curious if anyone knows of a great quality headset. It needs to use dual 3.5mm jacks to connect to the computer; a removable/adjustable microphone is a plus, since most of the time I won't be using the microphone. I'll go ahead and throw out a price limit of $200; but that's not really set in stone, it's just mainly to stop people from recommending a $20 headset that is junk, but cheap. I'm looking for quality and I'm willing to pay for it, and I'm hoping that someone has some good suggestions.

No one has any ideas? I can't be the biggest audiophile on the forums, I was hoping that someone would know of some good headphones.

Well, I own a pair of Steel Series (that's the brand name) headphones and they're completely awesome so far. But, they are usb headphones. Now I think there's a plug-in device that will make them connect to the regular jack input but I'm not 100% on that since if I did get one with the headphones, I threw it away or stored it someplace.

To my knowledge Steel Series has a few different types of headphones. A friend of mine has this big bulky looking (but actually light weight) white style from them but the sound is very nice. Mine's a more compact type of headphone but the sound is great from it as well.

Steel Series is made for gaming, but I'm just not sure if they have non usb headphones or not. I'm sure they may though.

I have a Plantronics Gamecom 377. The 777s are 5.1 Surround Sound, but also cost $50 more. The 377s are pretty damn comfortable and built like a tank, I can't imagine the 777s being any different in that regard. Sounds great. Mic is a little awkward to position right, but it works really well.
