Hi

I've become tired of my 2.1 stereo speaker setup. And would really like to utilize the surround cababilities of my NF7-S (nForce 2 MCP-T) MB in games and movies.

So I started diggin' for surround headphones, beeing a student on a budget.

And this is what I've come up with :

Trust 751B 5.1 Silverline Headset

Zalman "Theatre 6" ZM-RS6F

The trust headphones - I have only found good reviews(only a few and not from sites i trust - no pun intended :)). The zalman was not so lucky, all sites stated bad center channel and no rear clearly defined(wich kinda defeats the surround aspect).
For comparision I already have a pair of Sennheiser HD-500 (again stereo just don't cut it ;)).

The trust have some amazing specs(utilizing digital output etc.) and lower prize than the all analog Zalmans.

Sorry if I sound a little all over the place but, I've had trouble finding good info, most hits are sales based from amazon etc.

So basicly I would like to collect your 0.02$ on surround headphones, these models or the subject in general. :)
 
stick with the sennheisers, they kick the shit out of any "surround" headphones.
 
What he said. Also you really aren't going to be utilizing your SoundStorm unless you use digital speakers. With your headphones you are using analog, which doesn't sound all that hot compared to SS digital.
