Futurelooks reviews a budget headset for surround sound gamers



Whether it's playing games or watching movies, sound is an integral part of many experiences on a computer. For movies, it's all about immersion. You want to be able to experience what's going on, as if you were there. For games immersion is also a factor, but depending on the genre of game sound can also help you win. Many 3D shooter enthusiasts swear by multi-channel surround sound setups, saying they allow them to hear their enemies coming from all corners. Many of those same enthusiasts live in environments where owning a 5.1 or 7.1 computer speaker system is a bad idea; either due to size or disturbance of the peace. That's where the surround sound headset comes into play.
