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.
