![]() ![]() I feel the same way about keyboards and mice. Most of these headsets range from the astronomical in price to the “ouch.my wallet.” And if you’re going to be dropping $150 to $250 on any peripheral, it’s absolutely absurd that you wouldn’t cry for the Help to come take it out of the box and set you up on a functioning system to take it for a test drive. The biggest problem I have with the idea of not being able to try these headsets out first is the price. You rely on reviews like this one or when one of your friends tells you it’s good. And generally, when you go in to buy a new headset, you’re not going to really get to try them out. The fact is that this surround field must be getting messed with somewhere, because you find a huge variation in quality between these different makes and models of headsets. This software is licensed by Dolby and generally, the manufacturers are not supposed to mess with this surround field. This means that generally you’re getting standard headphones that are capable of using a software matrix for surround sound simulation. I put “surround sound” in quotes because none of these, with the exception of the Psyko Audio Krypton or Razer Tiamet are true surround sound headphones. A lot of companies in the last four or five years have come out with 5.1 and 7.1 “surround sound” headsets for gamers.
