I’ve been looking for a gift for a friend who does a lot of online gaming and I think I finally found the perfect (if a little pricey) gift. The AudioFX Pro 5+1 Headset look to be the ultimate gaming headset (complete with microphone). These things have built in surround sound (a must for gaming or video watching) and are durable enough to be tossed in a bag for trips to the local lan party or even further. The only down side I see to them is that they do look a little “geeky” and they’re USB 2.0 (you plug them in the usb port and not a speaker jack) other than that these may well be the best things on the market for gaming.

“Console modder extraordinaire Ben Heckendorn put on his extra large thinking cap when he designed the Audio FX Pro 5+1 headset, a product that is as comfortable as it is functional. The headset has everything you could possibly want, including a noise canceling microphone which is perfect for communicating with your WoW clan mates or for calling your mother via Skype to ask for an advance on your allowance.” - GamePro Magazine July 2007
