Wait! U Ma
Everytime I try to buy some suround sound headphones, I see that most of the suround sound headphones are gaming headphones. Is that the same, can I remove the microphone that's attached to the headphones or am i just unlucky to find some nice headphones. What do you reccomand?
Answer
I'm not sure if you're looking for gaming headphones, headsets, or just awesome headphones. you didn't specify a price range either so here goes..
surround sound headphones are a joke. Instead get headphones that has a wide "soundstage".
However, headphones with good soundstages tend to be open headphones, making them non-ideal for public use since they leak sound out and in.
if you game with a console and headphones, i suggest the audio technica ad700 + astro mixamp.
example here(watch that video with headphones for a demonstration): http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-updated-4-12-2012-akg-q701-added
if you game with a pc, then makes sure you have a good soundcard, external or not.
if you were just looking for regular headphones, the soundstage thing is the closest thing you will get to speaker sound on a headphone.
headphones with good soundstages: (most of these headphones are $200 and above)
beyerdynamic dt880/t1(open)
sennheiser hd558/598/700/800(open headphones)
akg q701(open headphones)
audio technica ad700(open headphones)
v-moda m-80 (closed headphones. good soundstage relative to other closed headphones, but not against open headphones ofc. also very portable/durable/stylish!)

Answer
That's a pretty sweet rig, should definitely chew everything you throw at it.
Best way to score these kinds of setups in terms of power is to benchmark it and compare with other gaming systems.
