Honestly the best headset is no headset. The quality of a good set of headphones will always be better and does not require drivers. In addition the mics are basically going to be the same if your running a newer motherboard. So just buy a 3.5mm mic and your set.

Is there any reason why you want a head set or do you just think that this is what you need? The best solution from the perspective of quality, value and compatibility is to just buy a separate mic and headphone that do not require drivers.

As far as being able to hear things from different directions you just need something that has a good sound stage. The larger the sound stage the easier it is to determine distances when gaming. A good set of headphones that have a real sound stage will beat those gimmick surround sound monstrosities any day.


Lastly do you know how much money your looking to spend?
