Need new headphones/headset

[aka-demix]

Hi! I need a headset for gaming...
I would like it to have a mic., does that excist with 5.1 headsets?
Off course they need too be good, but I don't wan't to pay more than $80, if that is even possible
Whether its USB or Minijack, I don't really care, but is it so that the soundcard turns it self off when you use USB phones??
It would be cool to have it minijacks, not USB, cause I'm about to buy a cheap 5.1 USB sondcard anyways...

I'm happy for all replies...

P.S. Is there any point in buying 5.1?? Isn't there just as good/better headsets that are stereo mode?? I can live with either..

BTW- need them for CS:S... Come to the Bettlesmod server.. Thats where I play

(Icemat Siberia, white, no skype BS)
If I decide to spend $80, should I just pickup these or does any of ya think maybe the Zalman Theatre 6 Headphones be better? Or the Senheiser of any kind around that price..
Please share your excperiences..

I have plantronics, theyre exelent sound good bass/tone ballance and if you use the mic in games most of them have a pretty good noise-cancelling mic. i think even the WCG uses them. i wouldent mind some of those mad looking Halo 2 headsets.

Sweet.. So your saying save the money?? Hmm.. Can you take the mic. off? They look good for music as wel..
