Just purchased my first pair of high end IEM, UE 10TF.  I saw a sale, jumped on it, great! However, I just realized that I won't use them much since I no longer take the train to work, (god I miss you NYC).  

Now, I was also thinking about getting the Logitech G930. I listen to a lot of music and just started to game on my pc. Would be interested in something that would give me 5.1\7.1 sound (some would argue that that cannot be achieved with headphones, but eh, who cares. I have a real 7.1 home theater set up also). I mostly play Black Ops on my pc and will be getting BFBC2 tomorrow. 

Anyway, I've been really bent on getting the G930, but don't wanna shell out full MSRP atm.  


I have the Asus Crosshair Formula IV mobo, which brings SUPREMEFX X-FI.
Would I be able to get the same type of sound that the G930 brings with a cheaper headset, let say the Audio Technica ATHM40FS. Those I actually own, but do not have with me at the moment, so I wouldn't be able to tell if the x-fi increases the performance. I will say that the ATHM40FS sound great, nice Bass, but nothing special. I've read else where that having X-FI in your system can really bring out great sound with the right pair of headphones. 

Going back to the UE 10TF, how will they compare to the G930's using the X-FI?  Yes, I know they are two different styles, IEM vs. Headphones, but I'm thinking if I can get awesome surround sound type of effects, I'll just skip on the G930's for now and wait until they are on sale.  

Hope that all made sense.  =0)
