I'm not sure about old av headsets. but new gaming headsets can be okay, *****but you can find much better quality when looking for studio or professonal headsets over gaming****. but the first page post is wrong about how gaming headsets work today. They use smart programing to create sound ques at specific locations. For example u only have 2 ears but can hear in 3 dimensions *i.e u can tell where something is by hearing it on most occasions* they create the same type of effects with sound ambiance. (this is described well from turtle beach here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xRGYg1tGF-8)I bought a Logitech g930 for my cousin and besides Logitech fail drivers (literally they all crackle unless u revert to a driver from may 2013 in left and right channel) but after that i was actually impressed in the sound quality. I work from home, and i don't actually prefer The surround sound experience. If your looking for Recommendations i can't give many because i don't think the average person goes through a lot of 100$ headsets each year to give you real life experience on each.
My best advice is find the ones your interested in your price range then head to their tech support forums, you'll get a instant view of the companies return policies and current issues with the product. Because if you see that say, 100 posts of same problem but no real solutions from the staff or in a sticky. that means odds are out of the box your headset is gonna have that problem too.
The picture in the first post is talking about PHYSICAL 5.1 in headsets. Which is the dumbest thing ever created.
And it still pretty much stands that most "Gaming headsets" Are pretty terrible. There are a few exceptions, But in general they're bad.

I'm guessing closed as my girlfriend doesn't want to hear any sound main reason for them, as I use my speakers and it's to loud for her at night
https://www.jaycar.com/productView.asp?ID=AA2065&w=pro+monitor&form=KEYWORDThese are $88 shipped to canada, They're one of the best closed headphones for under $100 & hold their own against headphones twice their cost.
They're clones of Fischer Fa-003 headphones Only difference is they say "Digitech" On the outside instead of "Fischer" & are insanely less expensive.

Could mean a lot of things, turn up speakers, bang her so hard she moans or stab her with a machete till she dies and while stabbing her she's screaming over the speakers, either way she gets to scream.
Win/Win, if the cops show up, I'm telling them to go to le Quebec
e/ Thanks Tokin, going to wait to see what the master of sound (Rikuo) suggests, I know I don't need a mic, as my Zalman clip on is fantastic, I bought ~10 of them and told my friends not to buy the shitty headsets one as the mics always crackle and the Zalman I usually have it on my table/desk and they can hear me talk from that distance.

http://www.modmic.com/This is a great mic for people who like the all in one feel of a headset. The small base gets double-sided taped to the headphone & the entire mic can then snap on/off the headphone as needed.
