My daughter (terrible 2 year old) decided in her infinite wisdom that she would pee on my Turtle Beach HPA2's. They obviously stopped working which kind of sucks because I loved this headset!
Regardless the more I read about people's opinions of 5.1 surround sound headsets the more I'm discouraged... Are 5.1 headsets still just a 'gimmick', or has the technology gotten any better? Sound waves/quantum physics apparently doesn't help the 'surround' situation any from what I've read... I'm just wondering if I shouldn't focus on a nice stereo set instead.
I use my headset for mostly gaming. Directional cues are a must.
I do like to watch DVD's and listen to music, but that's typically on a decent Logitech 2.1 setup.
Are there any headsets that are actually Dolby Digital certified? Any headsets that connect via the optical port? Should I not care about either of these and just buy a decent stereo headset?
Anything under $80 would be sufficient so I think my budget will be more than ok for a high-end stereo headset with a mic.
I'm a big fan of Seinheiser and Plantronics... and even Turtle Beach.
I will never buy a Medusa headset again... Their RMA process is painful at best and their headsets just seem chintzy.
Thanks in advance!
