There are other threads on this and I have searched and read them but I have rather specific requirements so none of them quite answered my question. I want to spend no more than £80 but less if possible. The requirements are:
 
1. Gaming first and foremost but also for tv/movies. Not really for music.
 
2. Closed cup with maximum isolation especially keeping outside noise out.
 
3. Best possible virtual surround (with my MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and Creative SB Cinema 2 or my EarForce DSS2).
 
 
That's it I think. My initial thoughts are getting Audio-Technica ATH-M20X with a Antlion Modmic which is just about in budget. I'm definitely interested on how that would fair with my requirements or better still some better options.

Look into the Kingston HyperX Cloud: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-Headset-Mobile/dp/B00JJNQG98/

It's popular here on Head-Fi because it's a clone with a mic attached of the Takstar Pro 80, which is a very good headphone on its own (research that one, too).

You might also look at Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide on this site (you can search for it in the search bar just below the category headings up toward the top of the page. You may find it helpful in your research as you are sorting through options. Good luck! That said, I am +1 on the Kingston HyperX Cloud with Cel. But you should look around. See what strikes your fancy from Mad Lust Envy. Then, make some notes and go from there. Good luck!

Thanks. I read that thread already. There was nothing in my price range that fitted my requirements hence why I started my own topic . Thanks though.
