Hi,

I know nothing about sound and have been using a rubbish headset for gaming for ages now, and I'm fed up with it!

I'd like to get a decent headset with a mic attached that will allow me to hear everything correctly in games, i.e. exactly what direction noises come from etc. Would I need a surround sound headset for this?

I have an Abit IP35 Pro motherboard, which I believe comes with 7.1 surround sound built-in.

Thanks for any help.

games nowadays use EAX for stereo sound, basically meaning they have very good sound positioning with just 2 speakers, surround sound headsets are mainly a gimmick as all the speakers are basically in the same place anyway, just get a nice stereo headset with an EAX compatible sound-card.
