Turtle Beach HPX Gaming Headset - Question, please help.

So, I've decided I'm going to order a HPX headset, however I have a question. I would really like to get an amplifier for it, however it seems as though the only gaming amp being discussed anywhere is the Astro Mixamp. I was happy to purchase it until I read that the Astro Mixamp would technically HINDER the headset as opposed to helping it. The article stated that the mixamp was designed to create "artificial surround sound" in a stereo headset. Since the HPX are already designed for 5.1, are there any other amplifiers on the market that I could pick up?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel.

Excellent choice of headset! If you want to use the headset with Xbox 360, then yes, you will need the Astro Mixamp.The HPX has not been discontinued, just get the HPX-1 for Astro Mixamp here:
