The zalman ZM-RS6F got some nice rating`s for 5.1 heaphones, probably quite expensive too.

5.1 headphones sound a bit silly to me... i mean, I can't imagine headphones were meant to have more than two speakers...

And besides, those two speakers usually do a nice job creating 3d sound... but i guess it can always be better, although I'd recommend you try a real 5.1 setup instead. Or just normal headphones maybe... I'm sure you'll get better sound for the price.

I dont know neither what's the point on those headphones. ok, with that normal 5.1 that's ok, but you have only 2 ears, therefore there isnt the need for more than 2 speakers. and of course not for a base box like the .1 suggests

a 5.1 surround set , DOES give you a more 'surround' feeling. But a headphones is just insane. It can't possibly really make a difference! (use math if you like asp!

)

yeah i have to agree with aspirin & stefan.
5.1 heaphones are a bit of waste of money when a full 5.1 speaker setup probably cost`s about the same price.

I need the 5.1 headphones since when most of my gaming goes on past midnight ( my parents are well asleep by then) and i don't wanna piss anyone off with the 5.1 setup blasting into the night.

Plus, i don't really have anywhere to set up all the speakers.

I wouldnt compare those both. they are for different purposes and in my opinion it's really cheaper to buy really good sennheiser headphones for example ( for let's say only 250€ ) instead of really good speakers + some satellites if needed for 5.1 for >1000€, to get the same quality. but some ppl just dont like to wear headphones, or they only hear that stuff not alone
