New headset...maybe?
 

Looking for a new headset hopefully. I'm looking for something that'd be 5.1 or 7.1 sound and excellent sound quality. Anything under $200 would be nice. I've tried looking around and found some ideas but still suggestions from other people is always better.

Are you going to use these for music or gaming, or both?

I think you're asking a little much when you say that. It's kinda one or the other...

Will be more for gaming than anything else, I prefer music through speakers. That's not to say it won't be used for music though. I just want full surround sound for games to hear where things are better.

I'd say that you should go with the Audio Technica A700's or the Sennheiser HD555's paired with a Zalman mic clip (depending on if you want isolation or not).

You can get the headphones for ~$90.00 shipped if you buy used online (cheaper in some cases), and the mic over here: NCIX.com - Buy Zalman ZM-MIC 1 Microphone - ZM-MIC1 In Canada.

I also have a USB mic that works quite well I could use instead, believe it's logitech. Where does the Zalman clip on to? I like the looks of the Sennheisers, as I wear glasses on the computer I want something that will completely cover my ears so the headset isn't pushing on my ears onto the glasses.

the HD555's are not 5.1 or 7.1 but.. i had 5.1 turtle beach earforce x-52 and they are terrible compared to the 555's. i play cod4 and you have great directional sound with the 555's, i can hear people running on the other side of the map, lol.

I believe the Zalman clips onto the headphone cable, although, I don't know how the HD555's will pair up with glasses though.

If you wanna fork over some real dough then I would wait for these (and a review, of course).

I have a pair of Sennheiser PC 161's I've been meaning to sell but hadn't gotten around to it. I already have a pair and they're the best sounding headset I've come across. Of course, I like to use my Denon D2000's, Sennheiser HD650's, and Audio-Technica ATH-AD900's for music, but I also have a few grand in separate audio equipment for that. Plus, none of those have a mic. I'll definitely be putting them up for sale this weekend now that I'm reminded about them, but forward me a PM if you're interested.
