Headphones / Headsets / Microphones

[nickRN]

Sorry for the newbish question here but I'm just getting back into computer gaming so I'm not as familiar with things as I once was.  I wanted to get a good gaming headset for a new laptop I ordered and would like a surround sound one (such as the G35).  I was told by the manufactuerer of the laptop that it only supports stereo sound but that headsets that use USB ports can bypass that and still offer a surround sound experience and looking at the information on the G35 here it seems to insinuate that as well.  I was just wondering if this was in fact the case before I buy one.

If needed the computer specs are:

Chassis Model: Digital Storm x17 Laptop (Model: 9170)

It'll work fine.
