I just found these amazing headphones on Amazon:
Logitech G35 7.1-Channel Surround Sound Headset
They’re USB headphones, though… Would they work on openSUSE? At least, their basic functionality? Or should I stick to using them just on my Windows 7 partition?

Found something.
From a comment here :
For those asking about using the G35 headset in Linux – I just got mine today, and am please to report that in Fedora 11, the G35 works flawlessly as a stereo headset and microphone, with the possible exception of the maximum volume being a tad on the low side, but i haven’t verified that yet as that could be completely caused by the sound hardware on the box i was using at the time, without any work on my part, the G buttons on her left side mapped as follows (only tested in rhythmbox):
G1 = Next track
G2 = Play/Pause
G3 = Previous track
(i may have G1 and G3 switched, minor detail)
Also the volume knob worked just fine and although i didn’t try the mute button, i have no reason, given the rest of the results, to doubt that it works and does something reasonable.
I would certainly recommend this headset to a fellow Linux user who is willing to accept it “only” working as a stereo headset and mic
