Surround sound headsets

Does anyone have any experience with surround sound headsets for PC gaming? Instead of buying a second 5.1 speaker set I'm seriously considering a surround headset as long as it has real surround, not emulated.


Turtle Beach just announced four new Modern Warfare 3 -themed headsets , and they have the just released Z6A which is also a "real" 5.1 headset AFAICT. I'm unfamiliar with headset/headphone specs and especially surround ones - any input very welcome!


edit: the higher-end PC version Bravo specs list "stereo input jack," which implies that the MW3 versions will be emulation. Z6A does have 3 stereo input jacks for true surround. Whether that translates to true surround sound experience is something I'm skeptical about.

There is a thread on here about a few different brands of actual 5.1 headphones.

I personally have a set of Roccat Kave 5.1, Medusa 5.1 as my current 2 that I actually use. I can attest that they are both great headphones. There are quite a few choices and I've probably had ever set you'll find at one point of another. For actual 5.1's, those are my favorite 2.
