Guys, I'm looking for a new set of cans after my Philips SBC HP890 is falling apart due to brittle plastic. I really loved the HP890, it was comfy, sounded great for my standards, and wasn't hot or anything.

I'm looking for a headset for movies and abit of FPS gaming, so I'm thinking of getting a 5.1 surround headset. What is the general opinion on surround headsets? Would those virtual surround like Dolby headsets be better than real multidriver headsets in terms of sound positioning? Or would a Seinheiser HD555 beat all of these any day with its great soundspace? I really want to hear my HD movies with all its 5.1 glory, not just upmixed with fancy algorithms.

My standards aren't too high and I just need my new cans to be as good as my old HP890. I'm looking at the Razer Barracuda headphones, any opinions on this? Is it true that the bass sucks without the Barracuda AC-1 soundcard?

Hope the gurus here can give me some advice. Thanks!
