Just to let you know that I listened to the same thing with my Medusa 5.1 headset and still got the binaural effect.
I've got to admit I was totally blown away by the experience , 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.

I have a Plantronics Gamecom headset, that cost about $40 iirc, and an ancient audigy soundcard, and the Dolby test above sounded pretty good through them, although I'll admit that their Bass response is pretty crap. They however sounded great with the binaural and holophonic demo's in the update thread, to the point where I swatted them off my head during the bee section of (I think) the last one.

I'm not a serious audiophile (I'm happy with the earbuds that came with my Sansa), so I guess I'm easy to please, but I do like nice sound, and the plantronics set is good enough for me, especially for gaming.

I'm just not sure how much 5.1 has to offer in a headset, as I hear perfect positional sound in all the shooters that I've tried so far with a standard one.

Recently I'm thinking of buying a good headset. Then I decided to buy ComTac II tactical headset designed for airsoft . if it possible to use it with ma pc then I can use the PTT when I interact with other players just like in IL2.
Any experience on this beauty . or is it possible to use it like normal headset. I'm not sure at the moment. if it possible then it would be like two rabbit with one bullet

Which is exactly what I do.

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.
