Any reason for not getting a nice pair of headphones and a desktop mic?

I'd honestly recommend the Audio Technica ATH m50's and a Blue Snowball / Blue Yeti.

the 7.1 in headsets are fake already, as its computer generated 7,1 and not actually 7 speakers and 1 sub in your headset :P you will get surround anyhow with normal headphones.

 

also i recommend like many others do, a pair of headphones and a mic

If you really need a headset I would recommend these.

However, I personally would advise a good pair of headphones and microphone like everyone else is recommending. I am personally using Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250's and a Blue Snowball. You can purchase these for around $200 on amazon.

ATH M50's are over rated, HD 558s are a lot better

The reason I recommend that combo is that's what I use and I couldn't be happier. I have the Red M50's and the Black Yeti and I absolutely love it.

We don't recommend based on personal experience around here.

probably trolls or they have a computer from 1987 and expect good sound from just a mic.

If it's a USB mic, the computer doesn't matter.
