Hello everyone;

My old g35 headset just broke so i am in need of another high quaility headset. I've looked at some products and i'm considering the following :

-Logitech G930
-Steelseries Siberia V2
-Steelseries 7h Frantic Edition
-Creative SoundBlaster Tactic3d Wraith ( or Omega )
-Sennheiser PC 360
-Mad Catz FREQ 5

Now the main use for this headset will be gaming, and i'm on an Asus G73JW laptop so my soundcard is probably bad and i might get an USB soundcard if the headset requires it or it would make it much better. Also does 7.1 Surround Sound actually make a difference in gaming ? My g35 had it and i enjoyed it but i don't know if it's actually usefull as i haven't tried any other gaming headsets.



Don't...

if your thinking usb sound card then id go siberia v2 (or the headband ones) with the steelseries soundcard used them a few years back and the sound was really good, 7.1 is slightly wasted atm on games as theres not many that really use it.
