Best 5.1 / 7.1 headphones !?

Hi,

I was wondering if u could help me choose some good 5.1 / 7.1 headphones for my PC?

I was reading many different discussions on this site about some of the 5.1 / 7.1 headphones, but I have no clear conclusions so far.

I would like to have good surround sound headphones, with the best sound quality of music you can get.

Currently I have:

• Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System

• Creative Labs SB0886 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series Sound Card

which is (for PC use of course) pretty good stuff as I assume.

The problem is my family don’t like me using the above mentioned eq. for the simple reason – it make lot of noise.

So that’s why I ask you to help me choose some headphones that will REPLACE my speakers for late hour uses – with as less sound quality and surround sound experience loose at it is possible.

I’ve been considering:

• Logitech G35 7.1 / Logitech G930 7.1
• Roccat Kave 5.1
• STEELSERIES 5H V2 USB 7.1
• SAITEK CYBORG 5.1
• RAZER MEGALODON 7.1

I’ve read in some magazine that  Logitech G930 7.1 are really good because of its function to turn on/off 7.1 effect (7.1 on for games, 7.1 off for music) but I don’t know if its really that good as it looks like? Another my question is: do Logitech G35 7.1 have same function as well?

I will just add that I don’t need wireless headphones – the wired ones will do as I don’t move far when using my PC.

I would appreciate any kind of help – any useful links will be also welcome.

Ps. Sorry for any grammar mistakes – I’m no native English speaker.

Hi,

thank you for the answer. Those Turtle Beach HPA2 looks like a really good choice - among other things they have 8 speakers, and are in really good price. 

The only disadvantage for me it that I cant get them where I live (would have to ship them from US or GB - it's trouble for any possible future warranty needs).

If thats possible could you ellaborate more why you dislike Roccat Kave?

I have other Roccat gaming stuff and they are in really good quality - of course I understand that the gaming equipment producers don't have too be the best in making high-end music equipment, but still I've heard that they are really good when used with good sound card. Any more detailed informations would be appreciated. How was the base? Whats wrong with possitioning? How the regular music sound?

Ps. I've read: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/500475/roccat-kave and http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/487519/roccat-kave but there's not much usefull informations there.

Thanks again. That's giving me some idea about how Roccat Kave sounds.

Anyway I live in Poland - whitch makes unavailabilty of the HPA2 quite strange. Nevertheless all headphones mentioned in main post are available here (i mean: Logitech G35 7.1 / Logitech G930 7.1; Roccat Kave 5.1; STEELSERIES 5H V2 USB 7.1; SAITEK CYBORG 5.1; RAZER MEGALODON 7.1). I only way for me to get HPA2 which i know of is through international eBay - and that metod because of mentioned waranty problems and bit expensive shipping (about 30 euro) is quite a nuissance.

I would gladly buy Logitech G930 which is supposed be a more advanced model of G35, if somebody would confirm that they are worth their price! As for the G35 had not so warm rewievs (including this forum users opinions).
