    4.0 Stars plenty of pc headphones and audio cards offer a "headphone surround-sound" mode, but it's often little more than a sophisticated reverb mode that uses psychoacoustics to trick the mind into thinking
  2. from www.newegg.com
    5.0 Stars other thoughts: i've now had the chance to play and finish half-life2 on these bad boys and let me tell you, if you ain't gaming in surround sound, you're missing out.

    5.0 Stars other thoughts: i would suggest buying these if you play alot of games or watch movies with surround sound.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i thought for a while about getting a better usb headset with mic included to replace my 4 year old ezonics 5.1 which until today i thought sounded fantastic.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i use the ath-a700 with ht omega striker 7.1 card ( a good sound card is a must if you want to experience clear highs and bone shaking lows).
  4. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars with the "powerful" setting on my realtek hd controller and srs on 5.1 this sounds greater than anything i've ever heard, and even without hardware enhancements the sound is much better than my
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars don't get me wrong, these aren't surround-sound headphones....they're just so good that they capture all the nuances of the music as if you were playing in the band or the conductor of the orchestra.

  1. from RT from Lakeway Texas, clickfrom.buy.com
    5.0 Stars the ar aw510 5.1 phones are not "cheap" but great headphones.
  2. from RR from Belleville, Michigan, clickfrom.buy.com
    5.0 Stars i'm not saying these two don't have some good qualities, but over all, bang for the buck so to speak, the ar aw510 5.1 surround wireless is your best bet if your willing to go $200 for wireless bliss.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars short story: the price for these is excellent and aside from a few minor annoyances and minimal 5.1 surround, six months later i'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend these to anyone.
Positives: Design: Over the Head, Usage: Professional, Connectivity: Wireless, Sound Mode: Surround

    5.0 Stars my 5.1 surround system takes up 3 of the 4 ports in my sound card.
  2. from www.newegg.com
    5.0 Stars the surround sound is amazing too, with my x-fi xtremegamer cons: mic isn't detachable, and the material on the padding of the headphones collects dust easily.
  3. from NDGeist, www.newegg.com
    2.0 Stars other thoughts: i think i'm going to try the tb 5.1 setup, as that has a chance of being good.
  4. from www.newegg.com
    5.0 Stars cons: none so far other thoughts: recently purchased the more expensive hpa2 5.1 headset because of the weight, bulk large cable mess, poor sound (weak bass and 5.1 effectiveness).
  5. from eklipz330, www.newegg.com
    4.0 Stars a great improvement over my senn******'s hd202's...both in comfort and sound...the sound is pretty balanced, and is great for gaming, you can hear things behind you, no reason to buy those gimmicky
