Is it worth getting a 7.1 sound card for stereo headset?

[gilgameshflood]

I have a hyperx cloud headset and I'm happy with the quality of the music but I do miss the surround effect my plantronics 780 had. I tried razer surround sound software but the effect just felt nothing different from a stereo headset and didnt come close to the 780 in surround effect.
I wanted to get info about this from people who have used a 7.1 sound card with stereo headset and also used a 7.1 headset themselves to compare difference.
Will the simulation be as good or better than my 780 if I get a good 7.1 sound card for my cloud headset?
In Asus xonar DX website page, it is mentioned "Dolby Pro-Logic IIx : Converts stereo or 5.1 sounds to seamless 7.1 surround". I would like to know how "seamless" it is if any of you used one with a stereo headset.
Since I'm using on board audio card, I was planning to check out the sound difference with a sound card. Probably Asus xonar DX.

I tried Dolby Headphones and it was far worse than nothing at all.

sounds about the same as any virtual surround to me

it will help by giving you an AMP. that 7.1 "3D Sound" "7.1 Audio" BS makes no sense. you have 2 ears with 2 headphones...

Yeah. I mean the 3D simulation. Is any good with hyperx cloud?

dont bother, 3D on ANY headphones is poopy

Your original quoted post wasn't a question. Therefore, you did not ask me (or anybody). However, this is a forum, meaning the entire point of this place is to exchange ideas, and you would do well to remember that.

Thank you so much. I was going to waste money for a sound card after trying razer surround software. The sbx one is heavenly. My plantronics 780 doesn't even come close to this quality and distinction.

Thank you all.
