So unfortunately after 2 and a half years of brutal and continuous use my beloved Sennheiser PC 161s are finally starting to die. They've been on the way out for a couple of weeks now but are getting progressively worse.
So now it's time for a new headset, and seeing as I use them for gaming 95% of the time I'm tempted to look at gaming headsets, the Sennheiser PC 330 caught my eye.

I was wondering however if anyone had any recommendations for headsets or if "gaming headsets" were a bit of a con. I also don't really want to spend much more than the PC 330 would set me back.
Many Thanks,
Alex
Edit: Just thought to include that I have a sound card, I use a "creative xtreme audio" from yesteryear and it suites me well. The main thing I like about it is the virtual 3D provided through my binaural current headset which is surprisingly good. However, I am still in a half mind about USB headsets that offer surround sound and as to how good the sound cards are. For example the Sennheiser PC 163D.
