Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Windows 10 surround sound settings

I have a Vizio surround sound system that i just installed in my living room. Its 5.1 surround and it has a sound bar, sub, and two satellite speakers. I have the surround sound enabled and it works, however in the pictures of the speaker layouts in the
surround sound configuration settings, it shows left front, right front, center front, a sub, and left and right rear speakers. I only have right front and left front speakers (inside the soundbar) and they work, however when i try to test the rear speakers,
no sound comes out of them when i click test, and no sound comes when i click test on the sub. However, when i click test on the front left and right, sound comes from the front speakers and rear speakers. The surround sound works really well outside of the
settings though, however i'm not getting any center sound (obviously because i have no center speaker channel in the sound bar) and i miss some sounds in music and video games. Is there any way to change the number of speakers and the layout of the speakers
instead of going by a preset option? i've messed around with the settings a bit but cannot find any obvious solution.

 

Surround Sound With Bluetooth Speaker

I have a wired speakers and a Bluetooth speaker I would like to use for surround sound. I can get the sound to come through both using stereo mix but would like to use it with windows sonic or dolby atmos as a surround speaker. Is there a feature in windows
or a third party program I can use to only get the back sound to come out of it? Thanks
