Got some nice gaming headphones :D


Recommended Posts

I can't understand how headphones can have surround sound. Even if you'll shove six speakers there, you still won't have surround sound. The speakers are just too close to each other and the ear :huh:

Well I have a surround sound speaker set and gaming headphones, and in 1 vs 1 matches in Unreal Tournament, etc...The headphones are definitely a lot better. I don't know why, but it's just easier with headphones to tell where the sounds are coming from imo.

It's one of those things that you just don't question because it somehow just works out. I prefer Headphones > Speakers as well because I get higher scores in FPS and Speakers are nice for casual games like RTS, MMO, etc.

Sound is "located" in your brain by the way the shape of the outer-ear changes the sound.

Circumaural headphones are more than capable of surround sound, since they broadcast the sound from outside of your ear.

I don't game, but I listen to a lot of music on my PC, and I use these:

AHT-SJ5

I purchased them in Japan in the summer. Great for canceling out the sounds of my baby brothers crying
