SteelSeries 7H Usb 7.1 have a 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound so are the Logitech G35...
What are the 7.1 surround sound sound card?

[InCognito]

No there are headphones where they all hook up to 4 other speakers that you spread across your room so you can listen to your headphones and real life surround sound at the same time. What do you think?

... Thanks for making fun of me... now that u answered my question, which headset do u recommend me

Roccat Kave, hands down one of the best gaming headsets I have ever used. It's a pain in the ass for anything but gaming though, and you're better off using something like the Sennheiser PC360 instead. It's what I have and in all honesty, it's much better than any 5.1 / 7.1 headset.

Well i heard Sennheiser are expensive.. im not gonna spend more than 150$. And for any 7.1 Surround Sound do i need a 7.1 sound card or what?

And the Roccat Kave are only 5.1 surround sound

You do know that Roccat Kave headsets actually have more than two drivers, right? Most virtual 7.1 headsets have two, and you're then better off getting a decent ordinary headset. Not to mention that you would be even incapable of differentiating between 7 speakers if they were packed so closely together.

I wouldn't argue against Alen about headphones or anything of the sort. He knows his shit.

Well ik that most 7.1 Surround Sound have 1 driver in each earcup...
So which headset do u recommend me? around 150$ no more

Virtual surround sound, how the fuck would you be able to differentiate between 7 separate channels within a headset, let alone pack seven separate drivers into one? Plus your headset will probably use usb to connect, a soundcard for 7.1 is only useful for true 7.1 uses like connecting optically to a receiver that supports 7.1 signals.

Probably the PC 350s, they should be around 150 if I'm not mistaken. Personally I dislike headsets if you don't have at least one decent pair of headphones to switch to once you're done gaming. In that case I recommend you search for normal headphones and a standalone mic, which should really give you more options.

I have $20 plantronics gamecon phones. Not sure about sound and mic quality but they are comfy as shit.

I might get them thanks.
So basicly, i dont need to configure them or anything? just plug them in and the 7.1 surround sound will work perfectly? no 7.1 sound card needed or anything?

Jesus fucking christ, those aren't virtual 7.1. GO TO FUCKING HEAD FI AND STOP BEING TARDED, ITS NOT WORTH GETTING REAL 5.1 / VIRTUAL 7.1.

So every gaming headset has virtual surround sound because it only has 1 speaker in each earcup... so what should i get? all i know is 7.1 surround sound is the best for gaming
