With a $300 budget, the headset of my choice would be the Astro A40 with the Audio System. The Auido System includes the Astro MixAmp (which you need to get complete Dolby surround sound). The only cable you will need to buy is an Optical cable, which you can get from Amazon or Monoprice for very cheap. Don't buy the premium ones on Astro's website. The total would end up being around $250-260 with the cable. Hope I helped.
