hello guys I wanted to buy a pair of headphones for my self when I play online with friends just I cannot decide which?

I have a 5.1 surround and I was thinking of a stereo headphones or a 7.1 would be better? 

with mic but I really dont know what are a couple of good choices every one looks over priced or cheap built price is not a major issue.

please advise

IMO , 7.1 is just a gimmick , its just software trying to mimick open headphones.

NOth worth it.

Real surround is often worse when it comes to headphones, due to the fact that they have to use multiple crappy drivers. Instead of just two decent drivers, one for each side.

 

And the the drivers in them aren't even far enough apart for it to make THAT much of a difference.

Then buy headphones and a mic you will get a much better value. All that 5.1 and 7.1 headsets is using virtual surround not real

sell your surround 5.1 and buy Ossic X

 

and stereo surround in todays tech is just downmixed 5.1 or 7.1 so... meh

And they are not synced up perfectly. The few "real" ones aren't better than normal headphones with a okay soundstage for picking up where the sound is coming from

Should be good. I personally recommend Sennheiser's products. I saw that pair being sold for ~$150 on Amazon.

well check the price of Ossic X and see if you can afford it

 

and 5.1 cant display all points in space, especially up, down.

Check the tech behind Ossic X and you decide.

I'm personally skeptic towards the Ossic X. From what I can tell, they are nothing more than a pair of headphones multiple drivers per headphone and sensors that "adjust" the headphones to your head.

 

But I really, really do not see how they can change anything if you move your head around. As in, I don't get how they can change anything with where the audio is coming from if you stand still in a game, but turn your own head. Something they say is possible with their headphones.

 

Call me stupid, but I don't see how these could be better than a solid pair of $400 headphones. Which is what they have set the MSRP price at.

well I didnt really sorted my mind out tomorrow I will go to my lock store to pick up a gfx card and I will tr some there

solid 400$ will be most probably more accurate, but you cant argue with their tech for surround. there is really no other, none, way to do it properly like they are doing.
