Default Best Gaming headphones?

At the moment I have the Icemat siberias, and they are AWESOME. But I hear so much more positive things when regarding 5.1 gaming headsets.
More specifically the 5.1 Medusa v 2.0 headset, apparently its like the best in the world.

If anyone has any experience with the medusa and another headset, please tell me, is the meduse worth the buy? It's 140$ shipped to the us. Outrageous.

Or is there a better headset (5.1 preferably) than the Icemats?

Crysalis and EricB told me this.

If you have fairly new (2 years old) SoundBlaster live card they have a feature called CMS3D or something that is very good at replecating 3D surround sound through stereo headphones. I have some extremely good Audio Technica ATH-D40Fs Headphones, they are superb, and i play games all the time and its fantastic, i can easily tell were people are, its not like 5.1, more like 15.1.

If you have a good soundcard i would invest in good quality stereo headphones. But if you cant be bothered then Razer's headphones are good.

No... im not exagerating. If you have stereo headphones listen to this sound immersion (hear sounds above, and behind you using regular headphones. who says you need to buy surround sound?) - flash

and this YouTube - Virtual Barber Shop (Audio...use headphones)
