@Bolded: At first I was like "... What the fuck, what did I do?!" before realising it's the name of a game, lol. 

I don't have 5.1 surround in my room, however I do have a soundbar under the tele, do you think that'd be any good for the sound? Or would I be better off just saying fuck it and using a headset anyway? I'd probably end up wanting to buy a new one, preferably wireless, if I'm gonna' be using it for VR, to avoid wires and shit.

If I'm all moved into my new house before Black Friday and have any money spare, I'll see what's on sale... probably the best time to get one I reckon.

Not sure if you can do it wirelessly. The headset plugs into the headset wire since the breakout box is responsible for the 3D audio. It might sound weird if you bypass that.

A soundbar should work fine for most games where you generally face the camera. Even with 5.1 surround it doesn't sound perfect when you turn around due to the configuration of the speakers. I rather not wear headphones period. For me headphones are more isolating than wearing a helmet. Sometimes it's nice though when you want to crank up the volume without waking everyone up. Over the ear headphones mostly fit. Headphones are kinda needed when you play online as the microphone will cause feedback otherwise.
