Anyone have any experience with these or at the very least can a few of you audio gurus please post what ya think about these headphones.
Thinking of upgrading soon to something like this coupled with a audigy value card or something like that.

Oh and how do the turtlebeach sound cards compare to the audigy line.
 
I've never heard these headphones before but I would imagine a good set of stereo headphones would beat them hands down. Most of the 5.1 are good for nothing more than gaming/movies, but from what i heard they do a poor job of that as well. I would say just steer clear and pick up some different headphones in that price range. i.e. ATH-A500 or HD-280. I think you would be much happier with those. As for the soundcard i would say that turtle beach is better but i have no idea how much better sorry.
 
If I had $100 to burn I would definitely not buy a gimmick. I think you would be much more pleased with the hd280s or the ath-a500s that Paxonator recommended.

Until a reputed headphone/speaker maker makes a pair of 5.1 headphones I would never buy such a thing.
