$200?
Just buy a surround sound system. Won't cost you much more, you'll get better sound quality, it'll last longer and you'll be able to use it for more than just videogames.
I don't understand why people bother with this 'fancy headset' fad.
Most people have other people living in their house. Whether the person be a teenager with parents or an adult with a gf, wife, roommates, etc. So its best to get a headset that is surround sound for you, but it wont bother everyone else in the home.
Not unless you plan to run everything on full volume, or your house has paper-thin walls.
Still, I suppose you can spend your money how you like. Just doesn't seem like very clean logic to me.
Another thing you are missing is playing headphones at 1/2 power is like playing a normal surround sound at full power. To hear the sounds required in a headset on a standard system requires extreme volumes. I rarely ever turn my MIXUP up more then 1/2 power but when I watch movies in my BOSE system, to hear foot steps my house shakes from the base.
