Problem is people will always be convinced by what the price is and or specifications tell them, thinking the expensive ones are the best and not what they are actually hearing.
I have done this many times with mic/headphones (not headsets), putting them on customers and asking them to tell the difference without looking at the product first, 75% choose the cheaper ones the 20% cant tell the difference 5% can tell definitely what they are listening to.
With a price difference of £100-$150 they are bemused they hear no difference, this is because some people don't really care what they are actually hearing or don't understand and don't need to, so long as it sounds nice.
Now these customers are PC gamers or general PC users, and not esoteric audiophiles looking for something to compliment their B&O system, so generally speaking cheaper 5.1 headsets are better for PC's with PCI audio cards.
I will use my old Koss or Sennheiser's to listen to my audio system.
