I'm not so good with advice...Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Thought on it flood? Is there really that big of a difference from stereo to 5.1 surround sound in a pair of gaming headphones?

I haven't used headsets but surround sound certainly made a difference when I upgraded my room.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I've had 5 different gaming headsets (it's an obsession) 3 were stereo and 2 were Dolby. There is a definite difference between them, I actually feel hopeless playing FPS without my headphones.

Well obviously a 5.1 surround sound will sound better when the game itself use 5.1.
