Hellooo,

I like to think I know somewhat about computer tech, but when it comes to Peripherals I know nothing. I am especially clueless about audio but I am currently in the market for some cheap gaming headphones. Im stuck between these 2 head phones but am pretty stuck when comparing specs. I see one has 57mm speakers and the other has 40 but supports 7.1 surround which is very appealing. Help me!!!!

* which has better mic quality?
* 7.1 worth it?

specs are the same as sign except for the gpu which I replaced with an Asus matrix r9 280x platinum @1235/6480
Not sure if that changed anything haha. Thanks again for all and any advice !!!

I really wouldn't bother with 7.1 if you're looking for budget headphones, as it (usually) takes a bigger price tag from a more respected company (Corsair, Logitech, etc.) to make 7.1 good. I'd recommend the SteelSeries 3H if you want budget + function. If you're looking for a more comfort-oriented headset, get the Razer Kraken (Pro).
