Some of you know I was planning to buy new headphones for gaming. after some research i decided to buy this:
http://www.tigerdire...mp;sku=T26-1090

it is dolby certified 5.1 headphones. 3 speakers on each side for 3d positional audio. Works with PC, ps2, xbox, xbox360, etc. basicaly if the system supports 5.1 it will work with it. As you know they are not the best sound quality headphones around, but they are ok for gaming. I needed this because when i play CS, wife usualy plays console behind me on the TV. So i wanted to have 5.1 fun wihtout having bulky speakers around. I will write more detail when the shipment arrives.

ahahahaha no, I'm OK.

About the headphones:
It is a nice hardware. I didn't have chance to try it with the Dolby surround decoder that comes with it yet. I basically attached 3 AC plugs to sound card of the PC, instead of using digital out directly. I need buy a 1/8mm mini plug to optic adapter. Otherwise woofers in the headphones doesn't work and you can't use the advantage of Dolby surround. It comes with different adapters for different output types. But no adapters for 1/8mm mini plug digital output. which is what i have behind the sound card.

Sound separation is good on the back, but somehow front and center sounds in same range. So you can easily hear someone stalking behind you in the game, but sound coming from front is not distinguishable that much. I don't know i have to try it with direct digital out to tell more.

It comes with a detachable mic that is compatible with x-box live. if the game is not supporting 3d positional audio headphones acts like regular headphones. It's kinda hurts my ears after using 2-3 hours. Which in my case not a bad thing, It reminds me to take a break.

In short: It is good for gaming, but thats it. Don't think about listening to music or to a movie with it. I would like to try Zalman's 3d positional headphones sometime. They look like they have better sound separation by design.
