I need headset help

[Tri6Oraxus]

I am almost done building my first true gaming PC capable of running doom and destroying everything before it. And I've worked hard to keep a black and red theme, down to my keyboard and mouse. But the 7.1 surround version of logitechs headsets, the g430, is black and BLUE. and the g230 doesn't have 7.1. So I need help from some audiophiles, I need a GOOD, AND GOOD LOOKING, black and red headset for 100$ or less. I love the Logitech look just not the color scheme. Thank you guys!

Hyper X Cloud II. You're fairly limited in terms of options with only a $100 budget. But many here will recommend the Cloud II.

Good luck finding audiophiles that will recommend any 7.1 gaming headset. A lot of people find it to be a gimmick.

 

My recommendations: 

HyperX Cloud

HyperX Cloud 2 (7.1)

Creative SoundBlaserX H5

Asus Cerberus

Asus Orion

Asus Orion Pro (7.1)

Plantronics Gamecom 788 (7.1)

Corsair Void Stereo

Corsair Void Surround (7.1)

 

Also what motherboard do you have? Or do you have a soundcard? This info will help us narrow down the options.

A another option would be to buy a really great headphone, you can find, and then buy a software like razer surround to 

manipulate the headphones to produce 7.1 surround audio

Problem is that not all 7.1 software produces the same effect.
