it looks nice, but i was looking for a 5.1 or 7.1 (dont know any of the latter) headset, idk.

From my knowledge 7.1 is impossible and there are still some the question the validity of "5.1 headsets" if it technically 5.1 and shit there was a previous argument about headsets and shit before a good 6 months ago about this.

HOLY F*CKIN MOSES! THAT LOOKS SEXY! And you can use it for XBL PLUS music? It looks like regular headphones. That's badass purple, I'm about to add that instead. I need new headphones and if this can double it's time for me to jizz. One question, is it durable? Mainly the cord. I wish F*CKERS would make cords as durable as those F*CKING HD cables.

the cord for the WRONG siberia they sent me seems really durable. once i get the correct headset i'll let you know what i think. but yeah, the xbox combatibility is what sold me too. plus, the band on my head annoys the shit out of me, so neckband seems sweet, and they aren't nerdy looking.

The software that comes with it is a bit more necessary....

I checked the FAQs and they're in development for a 7 driver....be again, their software is necessary for making sure your working on all speakers and shit and the eq and stuff.

There is no such thing as true surround sound headphones. It's impossible.

Not 7.1, not 5.1.

Zero.

They are headphones.

well what they do is use software to adjust the sound volume and speaker being used depending on the direction in game the sound is coming from.... Think of it being like a ventriloquist or something.

Yeah, even tho you can not technically surround your head with sound.... the human brain is easily fooled. it might as well be surround sound. but yeah 5.1 7.1 refers to amount of speakers.....no matter what headphones are 2.0.

not from what the specs say, these headphones have multiple speakers (more than 2)

"Eight (8) precision speakers have been strategically placed to provide maximum
accuracy, clarity and heart thumping bass." pulles straight from tritton's website.

Find me a good headset for $75-$100!

I figure Sennheiser is probably better than SteelSeries, but I dunno.

I am literally grinding my teeth in an attempt to be polite when I ask the following:

Do you know what surround sound is?

And Kitten was being sarcastic, you F*CKING immigrant.

You know, I'm sure one day Bose is going to come out with something and be like "Yeah, we basically poured trillions of dollars in to this shit and managed to develop actual surround sound by bouncing these soundwaves off of these soundwaves which in turn bounce off the Transformer Soundwave and that shit goes straight in to your brain 'n' shit and BLAN! Surround sound headphones!"

But until that day, lol.

Also, the anticipation is killing me. I skip over all posts with no grasp of English, so I hope I don't miss it. Hurry up, UPS guy!

i never said that my headphones were surround sound, i just said they have more than 2 speakers. plus, i am from ny, i was born in ny, and have lived here my entire life, so i am not an immigrant. sorry i missed his sarcasm i guess.

::EDIT:: i have a fine grasp on english, i just dont see the point in typing in perfect english when it isnt necassary.

You strongly implied that they were surround sound when you quoted him saying that they weren't 5.1 or 7.1 by saying that the specs said something different and that it had 8 speakers. I'm not sure if you know or not, but the majority of surround sound systems that cost more than $40 have at least 2 speakers per box or more.

Requesting more smilies.

And being born and raised in New York doesn't change your immigrant status.
