It's been a long time since I've looked into headsets, and owning a *great* one I have to ask the question yet again....
Currently, I use a Medusa 5.1 surround headset that is plugged into my sound card for positional audio in gaming. It works pretty well.
That said -- I have looked at some of the newer headsets, and they are all USB, pretty much eliminating the need for me to have a sound card at all. My question is -- how good are these USB headphones (specifically for gaming) if they come from Logitech or Razer or something? Is the CPU usage going to go up a lot (this was why I went the way I did with the Medusas), and are there any real benefits to having a sound card any more? I don't watch movies or listen to music much on the PC, and even if I do I don't care about the sound quality. I have a nice home theater for all that.
Anyway, I was thinking about buying the G35 headphones from Logitech but I'm hesitant because of the past information I've had, so I wanted to vet it all with you guys first.
ALSO,i ask its best logitech g35 with usb connection and virtual 7.1 sorround or Tritton AXPRO 5.1 Headphones with 8 Speakers and optical connection ti x-fi gamer card.Have usb headset EAX like x-fi gamer card?
