forget the Zalmans, if you are HELLBENT on getting 5.1 Headphones, then the Speedlink Medusa is the set to get from www.medusa-usa.com
Although I prefer my MS-2s for playing Counter-Strike, i feel that Counter-Strike is unable to support surround sound very effectively.
Although in Call of Duty I believe my Medusa's were better, but only just.

I just know that I've never had the cash for a 5.1 setup, and I've never owned a pair of speakers or headphones that I was able to discern left front and left rear with. I listened to that binaural .mp3. I'm not saying that everybody should go out and buy these things, I'm just saying I've been to a Zalman booth (or maybe it was creative) either way, I've played with there little sound flying around you demo and it was very convincing. I've even played games with them on my head and I was shocked at the sound discernment. IMO they're not for everybody, but the are well designed for gamers, the seal (on my friends head at least) is really good, I sit right next to him when we play and I either have to shout or knock him upside the head to get his attention, which is great for loud LAN environments. All I'm wondering is how many people have honestly tried them for games, not read a review saying they suck. |
