Headphones and ears are personal items as we all have different shaped heads and ears :)

So its really down to personal choice.

In this picture its the complete reverse when it comes to audio :)

No problem mate. :)

Priceless... :D

lol.

Just to let you know that I listened to the same thing with my Medusa 5.1 headset and still got the binaural effect.:cool:
I've got to admit I was totally blown away by the experience :eek:, and that's why I said I would probably be using the headset a LOT more when SOW is released.

So if you got a 5.1 set it should still work with binaural sound, but you would also have the benefit of 5.1 for other games or films. The best of both worlds.
Something for you to consider ?

Let me put it this way. If the game supports binaural audio reproduction then there is no need for 5.1 headsets. ;) But if SoW isn't the only thing that you play and positional audio is more important to you... as we all stated here - it comes down to personal preference and requirements. For general ease of use (having a mic attached) and not bothering to get the best audio quality, then go with a headset (analog, not USB). If you want the best audio reproduction and recording quality, I suggest that you read what we wrote here.

With todays soundcards that can simulate virtual 3D sound, the small 'benefits' of 5.1 headset over stereo headphones are almost non existent.

I already have a 5.1 system on my pc, so i thought to spend money for a better stereo headset, enjoy the music and everything else, and when i really need a 5.1 just unplug it and use my speakers.

When in doubt go for something a bit Steampunk ...

Which is exactly what I do.

:grin:

Medusa 5.1 all the way, I've had the v2 for about 4 years now with no problems with the sound quality. The vinyl around the ear cups is only now breaking up and pealing so I think I'm due for a new pair, but I will be buying Medusa again (non USB)

If you have an X-Fi with a CMSS-3D ship you can experience binaural sound.

My eyes (and ears) hurt after looking at those pictures... :D
