I'm so confused about Audio...

One last thing guys that I forgot to mention. Now, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but have you two ever used "gaming" surround headphones?

I know the Audio Technica + Asus Xonar sounds amazing, but have you used the gaming ones to compare it to?

The thing that keeps driving me to the Turtle Beach are the 4 drivers on each ear with 3 x 3.5mm Surround Plugs, while the AT are just one plug...???

Thanks againFelipeInside

It's insulting that - after all of these users have gone through this effort to both educate you and offer suggestions - you would come back with this response.

Seriously.

No I have never used them.

LOL, I knew you would take it like that and I am truly sorry if I offended you.

I wasn't trying to say that the "gaming" headsets sound better, which I know they don't, just asking on a scale of 1-10 how they would compare. (if u used them, do they sound OK, good etc)

I've preorded the Audio Technica myself, but I am one of those guys that likes to know EVERYTHING, or as much as possible.

Sorry again if I offended anyone.

Since you're ignoring what everyone says, I suggest you purchase this surround headset and a nice set of headphones, try them out, and return the ones you don't want.

Let me make things simple here.

Do not buy headphones or headsets that use USB.

Do not buy gaming headphones or headsets, they are overpriced and generally suck.

Things such as 5.1/7.1 in a headphone is a gimmick.

You should purchase a pair of quality stereo headphones from a reputable brand (if a microphone is needed get a clip on microphone).

If you're worried about the quality of sound from your current soundcard, you may consider purchasing something inexpensive such as the Asus Xonar DG (this also has Dolby headphone which can help simulate a surround sound using stereo headphones).

Finally, always plug your headphones directly into the soundcard as to obtain the best audio quality.

DO YOU ALL NOT READ MY LATEST POSTS ??? lol...

I said about 3 times already that I have followed everyone's advise and now am proud owner of the Audio Tecnicas which sound amazing.

lol tbh i don't understand the hype with surround anyway, we only have two ears!! Nothing wrong with stereo, plus your computer or receiver can have a virtual surround mode, buying a "gaming" headphone isn't worth it esp. since the quality will be lesser on the dang things! Surround or not.X360PS3AMD05
