Oooooo im picking one up!! Can't wait!

This is virtual 7.1 sound, which you hardly need for gaming. Headphones have excellent positioning, even without Dolby. Personally, I hate what Dolby Headphone does to the sound when I game, and music is even worse. However, if you like the way it sounds, then by all means you can buy it. In addition, if you like the way it sounds with music, you can just do it through foobar2000 without any external hardware required. http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/447089/5-1-headphone-experience-foobar-configuration-for-all-stereo-music-files .Luminouslight

Thats a PC program for emulating virtual 7.1 surround sound for music...so im not sure what you point is. Stereo headset have left and right positioning...and 7.1 is imporant for games which use directional sound cues like Call of Duty.

Anyway, this added to a stereo gaming headset will turn your headset into an awesome pair like the Turtle Beach X41:
