Don't bother. In my experience they're fragile, expensive poor general headphones. I wouldn't buy any again.![]()
Lowe has always been a STEREO man. His Counterstrike history records that it must work ok!
I have used Medusa 5.1 headphones for over 2 years...same pair. Really nice, but lots of stuff, such as the amp and many cables, as the signal needs to hit the normal speakers afterwards.
I have, however, gone backwards to stereo headphones again. Positional audio in games is pretty good in stereo, if you have a good soundcard.

DONT get the Zalman ones...I used them earlier this year. They are bloody dire.
Speed Link Medusa are still my favourites.

You honestly can't beat the investment of a good set of headphones. Apart from having to replace the cable, they've been the longest lasting, most comfortable, best sounding headphones that I've ever owned in my entire life. And for that, Zak will always be my number one Hexus Hero.

I still have my HD570's and they are simply stunning![]()

I've used the Zalmans and Trust 751b. The sound on the Trust is top stuff for the money although the positioning is not perfect. As for the Zalman, they are okay but are 'dire' compared to the Trusts. They are more 5.0 as they lack a subwoofer channel.
Not sure about others but I've heard good things on the Medusas.

Thanks dont sennhiser make a 360 sound headphone 161 ???
I have Medusa 5.1's.
They are pretty good for the price, but they started to go a bit. There's some hiss and whine in it sometimes and the mic is totally bust. When i bought them i noticed that my counter-strike scores went up a helluva lot. You will know exactly where your enemy is.
I got those Sennheisers from Million, those PC151 iirc. the bass on them is niceeeeeee, and they are very comfy. The mic is top quality too. Never will I buy another brand.
i have the steelsound H5 v2 they work well and are comfortable
I had some 5.1 headphones a while ago, not a great brand (can't remember what they were). They were decent headphones but I never did get the impression of surround sound with them. Simply not as good as a proper speaker setup!
