Hi, I was going to pick up a new headset later today, I mostly want it for gaming, but it should sound good for music and movies, too. I have only the integrated soundcard on my P6X58D-E, and my budget is about 100-125 Canadian. I was going to buy at a local store that has these following choices, but if someone really has a great recommendation for something I would have to buy online I would consider it. Thanks.

From local store:

Creative Fatality MKII -------73
Logitech G35 ---------------130
Razer Carcharias ------------ 80
Bose Around-Ear Headset ------------ 130
Steel Series 7H Hi-Fi ---------- 130
Steel Series Siberia V2 ------------- 110
Logitech ClearChat PC -------------- 120
Corsair HS1 USB ------------- 110
Corsair HS1A Analog ------------- 90
Razer Banshee Starcraft II ------------ 105
Seinheiser PC 161 Pro ------------ 90
Steel Series 5H V2 ---------- 80
Sennheisr 151 -------------- 70

Check out mine from my sig.
Have been using it for a few months now and the sound is overwelming.
And the price is not that bad.

Creative SB Tactic3D Alpha

or

Creative SB Tactic3D Sigma

It has a THX TruStudio Pro Dual Mode USB-adapter which works like a second sound card.
 
I looked for a good headset not long ago, link, and based on this massive and detailed roundup I went with the Razer Carcharias. Been using them for a couple weeks now, listening to music and playing Starcraft 2. I'm no audiophile, but I think the sound quality is excellent, and I've been comfortable wearing them for hours at a time.
 
Sennheiser. The 5.1 surround thing is almost a joke at this point. I have been through a *lot* of headsets, Medusas, Logitechs, and a few others... none compare to the PC350 Sennheiser I've gotten. They are more comfortable and able to pinpoint sound in a much more distinct method than any other headphone out there.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'm leaning towards the Razer Carcharias right now, because of glowing reviews and it's cheaper price. I would love to go for a Senn 350, but it's a little pricey. I'm not sure I'm enough of an audiophile to notice a difference. My current headphones tend to lose sound out of one ear sporatically, I'll never buy JVC again!
 
I really like my Corsair HS1 USB. They have been on Sale at NCIX for as low as $89 recently(not this week though, there are other headsets on sale).
