Need opinions or suggestions for a surround sound headset

[b1gapl]

I saw a video on youtube about the Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 headset, and from the guy's review, it looks to be a good one. And not that pricey, around $70 with shipping from their site. I don't see it available on any other sites though.

Here's it's homepage:
Sonar 5.1 Gaming Headset | Cyber Snipa

Or is there one, that's better for the price, with the same or better features...

Speedlink Medusa are good, with a good mic.

Don't expect good sound quality, especially for music, because there not - not to me anyway. Don't get razer, the right channel breaks after 3 months.
Cyber Snipa headsets arn't bad. I think most of them these days are good enough actually.

What soundcard do you have ?, you may not even need a surround sound headset if you have a Creative sound card.

I use onboard sound, and my motherboard does support surround sound.

I'll have a look at Speedlink Medusa.


*edit*
Just had a look at the Medusa 5.1. It's a bit too expensive for me, for a headset. I think I'll stick with the Cyber Snipa.

Okay. The Cyba Snipa is good enough. What games do you play ?

 

[b1gapl]

I can't play any games at the moment, because I only have an HD3450. Currently saving for a 9600GT or something.

Before that, I was thinking of using the headset for some surround sound albums, or watching movies in surround.

 

[Oreo]

Oh right. Yeh there fine for that.

You should listen to some SACD's, they will use the surround sound.

so...have you gotten the headset yet? I'm in the market for a 5.1 gaming headset also and I'd like to hear your opinion on the Cyber Snipa one if you bought it. (just PM me)

 

[Oreo]

Good opinions and comparisons can only be based if a suitable comparison is made, i don't think b1gapl has owned many, if any previous 5.1 headsets.

 

[b1gapl]

I've never owned a surround sound headset before, so yea...

I'm also not picky about sound, I just wanted one and the Cyber Snipa has a microphone.

 

[Oreo]

Exactley what i thought

I'm also not picky about sound
