Which Medusa 5.1 Headset?

Medusa progamer/home or the Barracudas?

I have decided to buy myself a decent headset as i have avoided wearing headphones for a long while due to my logitechs being uncomfortable to wear.

However, being unable to get my creative speakers to do 5.1 surround with this onboard sound on the Asus PK5 Premium and my friend continuously praising his barracudas for positional sound i am gonna treat myself.

Does anyone know the major differences between the medusa home and medusa progamer headsets? What exactly is the amp needed for? seems an odd addition to a headset no?

Are Barraccudas recommended over the medusas or whats the general view of them both? If anyone has tried both i would really appreciate your input.

Finally do i want USB edition headphones or just normal ones with the usb power lead? Is tehre a big difference?

Thanks all, will be ordering today so sooner i get reponses the better, have a good day

Well i currently use a labtec stand alone mic that is excellent quality. However for portability i would like one built in if poss. Also the 2 headsets i mentioned both come with one anyway.

Is the barracuda worth the extra money over the medusa set? I am getting very mixed reviews on the medusas. IGN say they are the best things ever, better than barracudas. Other people all talk about having to rma for random faults and how the positional sound is better on razer.

Razer are twice the cost though which means i want a definitive 'yeah razer are better' before i shell out.

Does anyone know if there is a major quality difference between the home and the pro gamer version as i am still finding mixed reviews and i want to get the best sounding ones possible.
