Looking to get a 5.1 headset for my PC, but I'm not sure what to go for. I'm budgeting for around about £60

The SpeedLink Medusa SL-8796 5.1 Home Edition + 5.1 Amplifier sounds good - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-027-SL&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=692

The Creative HQ-2300D are listed at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-071-CL&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=502

Any other 5.1 headsets I should watch out for? Mainly going to use them on games like Oblivion, but I will be listening to music as well.

Soundcard is an Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer

i was under the impression that the Creative HQ-2300D is a breakout box that upmixes audio and uses standard stereo headphones?

The gadget show seems to have rated the Creatives highly for 5.1...

Why has Overclockers put the Creative in the 'Stereo Headsets with Microphone' section?

Just had a look, and that is correct...whoops.

I'm looking for a headset to plug into an X-Fi Xtreme gamer card, but also to support other sources if possible.
