New headset

[Codex]

Well just spent the good part of an hour at JB-HiFi testing the Sennheiser 555, 515 and 215s on their iPad display, listening to the virtual barber shop on YouTube and also listening to Music. Yes I can hear the difference in quality from my Medusa 5.1s, Music is much better on the stereo headsets. But in terms of positional audio my Medusa is much better. I've just been listening to the virtual barber shop again at home with my 5.1 headset and there's no comparison. Music quality is better with stereo but in all honesty, nothing that I would would notice or even care about.

My view is if you want quality sounds and listen to other things than games with your headset then go for stereo, but for gaming and picking up positional audio 5.1 headsets, even with poorer sound quality are way better.
