Default Computer 5.1 Headphones from Turtle Beach???

TURTLE BEACH EAR FORCE HPA 5.1 SURROUND SOUND HEADPHONES



I saw these today while I was at Fry's. They are supposed to have discrete speakers and a subwoofer and can incorporate a microphone. Has anyone tried these? Are they any good?

Reminds me of another can by it's looks.

Anyways i would love to get a headphone exactly like this with the mic that actually delivers but upon reading the review he basicaly confirms what i already suspected.

Still i could see myself at least trying them out at some place that demo's it.

I've read most 5.1 headphones are gimmicky.
