I found these on my Newegg.com daily emails. I don't have a personal opinion on them but they are well within your budget, hence, why I am posting it. Google a review before purchase though.

I also found the following ones below. Again, no idea if they do what you want, I also found them cheap and within your budget price.

Just a tad over his budget but Green is always more expensive... because its faster. Wait!, is that only when it comes to motorcycles? ;)

Might take that into considerations possibly,tad over my budget though. The one I linked to,do surround sound head sets really make a difference or they just gimmicks? Like is it easier to hear your surroundings from further away or around you? Also does it greatly increase music quality? Also this razer head set anygood?

Bit cheaper then the other one but idk if it's like a really big difference that I would notice it.

I used to have some Plantronics products (wireless phones) and although they were cheap and did their job, you new they were cheap material just by looking at them, sound was ok but not even Std, etc, etc.

Being said that, that was a long time ago and perhaps their quality control has upped the anty?

I game with some old Refurbished Sony bluetooth headsets that I swear by it, they also have the option for voice but I only use them as headsets. Now Sony products are not what they used to and the Razer brand is all over the place... perhaps those are the way to go?
