I use regular mode for games and surround-sound for music and movies.

(I'm poor and have a lot of bills so it took a LONG time to save up that kind of money.) I got Sennheiser PC 363D (which at the time were about $350 USD, they don't make them anymore because they were replaced last year by the newer model, PC 373D ( Amazon link) which had worse reviews than the older model, PC 363D) and wish I had gotten a decent headset/headphones years ago. I saved up my money for most of my adult life until I had about $10K to spend to build my new PC and all the peripherals. I say this because I always used cheap headphones and headsets until I built my own gaming PC about 2 years ago. If you can't, I understand, people have bills to pay, I just wanted to ask. You could probably increase your budget to $50-60 and buy a halfway decent used headset.
