    Real vs Virtual surround sound

    The sound quality is quite a bit better than the Roccat Kave but I'm sorry to say Virtual Surround in nowhere as good as real surround sound

    Real vs Virtual surround sound

    I've ordered the HD 598's. I'll update this thread when I receive them to tell you how it compares to the Kave IMHO. Thank you for all your support, you've been very helpful

    Real vs Virtual surround sound

    I've just seen on Amazon that the HD 598 are on sale for about $175. I'm thinking of getting these instead of the HD 558. Are they a step up from the 558 in your opinion?

    Real vs Virtual surround sound

    But with my Kave, I could literally close my eyes and accurately tell where the sound is coming from. I checked out the virtual barber shop video on youtube and was able to constantly tell where the sound was coming from. Have you tried real and virtual surround sound headsets?:) and my other...

    Real vs Virtual surround sound

    I currently have a Roccat Kave headset. It's a 5.1 real surround sound headset. I've been using them for a little more than 3 years now and I'm considering replacing them. My main question is if there's a significant difference between real and virtual surround sound. Thank you for taking the...
