yes there will be. it's 5.1 surround, not 2.1 stereo, and the speakers are in the headband. there's a MAJOR difference.

It's all done via the software in my case, and yes Brownman, it does make a difference. When you can tell what direction the sound is coming from, that means you know which way to turn. It's really that simple.

yes, because with a 2.1 stereo headset, the concept of "surround sound" when sound is going from one speaker to the other, is the sound fading in one ear and slowly becoming louder in the other. in the 5.1 headset, it literally goes from speaker to speaker in the headband that goes around your head, and creates the effect that you're actually in a 5.1 speaker environment.

Re: 5.1 surround sound heaset.
There is a different, you can tell exactly where that helicopter is and which direction the explosion is comming from. One thing with some of these are sometimes the front and surround channels get reversed so you have to go through your sound control panel and switch them.
They don't improve stereo at all though.

Now I'm convinced I'm getting crusty, first bad turned to good, now sick means ? I'm guessing good or awesome or something observing the low (Hz) response.
