I really like the Koss CS-100. It's very low cost ($18), but the sound is very good, and the mic is great. It's not USB, though.

Going cheap is cool if it works.

But if you want "kickass" that works with an xbox, Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA surround sound headphones $99.00

Or, for less than $15 bucks...

Best headset I have ever used. It has traveled all over the world with me on planes and hotels and plugged into my mp3 player, PSP, laptop, home PC....well you get the picture.

SENNHEISER PC155USB. You can unplug the little USB sound card option and use the old standard two plugs for headset and microphone. The only thing about the microphone is the boom mic is a little short and you have to talk louder or pull it closer to your mouth when you are trying to not wake the wife in the next room (glass doors between PC area and bedroom).

Well, I know you already bought something, but I have the analog (soundcard) version of the Medusa 5.1 surround headphones:

http://www.medusa-usa.com/product_info.php?products_id=777

I've been using them for a year, and can attest that they are quite incredible. The surround effect is very noticable, but not entirely useful, in Aces High. For first-person shooters like Counter Strike, it is totally unbelievable and quite a tactical advantage.

When you combine it with a TrackIR, then AH does take on a whole new level: as you turn your head to look around, your engine noise moves around too. When you look backwards, your engine noises seem to be coming from behind.

The effect is slightly useful for locating GVs when their engines are running, but for normal flight, it isn't terribly useful. Cool, yes. Useful, not totally.
