Looking for good headphones

[Nestharus]

So I have these three things on my Motherboard

Realtek® ALC898 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC

DTS Connect

To get the most out of your audio entertainment across all formats and quality levels, DTS Connect combines two enabling technologies. DTS NeoC™ upmixes stereo sources (CDs, MP3s, WMAs, internet radio) into as many as 7.1 channels of incredible surround sound. Consumers can then connect their PC to a home theater system.DTS Interactive is capable of performing multi-channel encoding of DTS bitstreams on personal computers, and sending encoded bitstreams out of a digital audio connection (such as S/PDIF or HDMI) designed to deliver audio to an external decoder.

DTS UltraPC II

DTS UltraPC II delivers exceptional 7.1 surround through the most popular PC audio setups - your existing stereo speakers or headphones. In addition to virtual surround, it upgrades original sound to new levels with Audio Restoration, recreating the dynamic range of audio files. Symmetry mode improves the balance of perceived loudness across different input sources and Enhance boosts audio quality through high and low frequency equalization. With these technologies, users experience better home theater audio with ease.

Now what kind of headphones should I use D:. Are the true 5.1 surround sound, the virtual 7.1 surround sound, or the upcoming true 7.1 surround sound going to sound any better than a stereo with the above 2 features? Or will it be that the virtual will sound the same as the stereo, but the true will sound better?


Thanks : )



Also, should I wait for the true 7.1 if the true sounds better, or just stick with 5.1?


This is the upcoming 7.1 headset

I personally don't know what surround sound headsets are like, so I can only recommend looking up reviews. As far as "sounding better", it depends what you mean. The sound quality is all in the make of the headset, not the amount of speakers it has. The advantage of having the 7.1 is simply the surround sound effect.

I have a logitech g330, like it a lot. Very good microphone quality. The sound itself, well... i'm not really someone that bitches around with .flac files and such so i have no idea it's good i guess.

And that for 50 euros.

I only use Beats by Dre, so I don't know anything about any of those headphones, but I'd recommend waiting for that Razor Tiamat 7.1. After all, the latent function should matter too
