Or the Asus Strix 7.1, it is not that much overpriced :P
"True 5.1/7.1" do exist, although rare. See this article:

These are "True 5.1" meaning multiple, individual drivers per ear (including subwoofer drivers in some!), some examples:

Google or search Amazon for "True 5.1 headset" or "True 7.1 headset" for more info, for those interested. :D

EDIT 2: most or all of these look like USB connections so tough to tell which, if any, would work with XBONE. Maybe those "Tritton Pro 5.1" model made for X360, if you can get them used. Results may vary...very interesting concept though, having all of those tiny drivers in the headphones is pretty cool. :)
These actually have multiple drivers. I looked at quite a few and decided I didn't want just stereo for games.
The ones I got aren't doing it with software like the Thrustmaster ones are. All the reviews I've seen say that they do a very good job of representing where sound is coming from.

I'm going to try them out in FC 4, Primal, and Doom to see how they do. If they don't have good sound or good representation of where sound is coming from in the game world then I'll return them.
