Hello
I have been thinking about buying surround headphones for my computer. I listen to some music, but mostly play games like CS: S, HL2 and DOD: S (its smart to hear where your enemies are
). I tried to put i on my wishlist for christmas, but my dad said that surround headphones would never work because a single ear can never hear where a sound is coming from, you need to have two ears working together. That sounds logical, so i asked some peopleat a computer hardware forum. They pointed me to a howstuffworks-article that said that a ear can calculate where a sound is coming from because it is reflected differently by the outer ear.
I didn't know what to believe so i came here to ask you hi-fi enthusiasts. Does surround-headphones really work, and are they worth it? If yes, are there any good ones that are not to expensive?
ps. Right now im using some old Creative cambridge soundworks 2.1 speakers.
