no thank you im looking for 7.1 surround

 

I'm assuming right now you already have a stereo headphone and/or earbuds, correct? Doesn't matter if it's cheap or crappy. Plug it in to your PC/laptop, then play this video till the end:

 

 

After that, tell us again, why you need only 7.1 surround headsets :)

 

For the same thing, but on 3D games:

Well unless you have multiple speakers (Which no headphone does) It will always be stereo.

"7.1 surround" is implemented through software, not hardware. Those "surround" headphones you seem to want to buy are actually stereo headphones with surround effects applied via the USB dongle included with the 363D and the mix amp with the A40. You can achieve the same thing with free Razer Surround software, and any stereo headphone. We recommend the HyperX Cloud because it is a better headphone than the A40, and because the 363D is overpriced (unless you're getting some kind of good deal you're not telling us about).  :)

 

TLDR - If you don't want to listen to us and prefer to throw your money away, why even ask in the first place?

Only half way counts, can't really remember (And don't really care) but its something like multiple coils on a single diaphragm 

 

Yeah. My logic is: having 10 drivers in 2 cups would be like strapping 10 satellite speakers around your head. But then again, it's Razer!! (*sarcastic :D)

That's what I read somewhere, though I haven't seen pics to confirm or deny.
