Panos 13 :
Thank you for the answer greens!!
I was thinking of buying Logitech G430 which has both usb and 3.5mm ... If i understood you correctly... I shouldn't buy them... Should i go with cheaper and not necessary "Surround" headset? (I am only interested using them in games... not music etc..i have speakers for that)
Buy audio monitors from a company that manufactures audio monitors!
Audio Technica, Sennheiser, etc.
What does logitech know about audio? NOTHING! They are experts at buying cheap components slapping them together, and making money.
USB audio is completely pointless and no better than whats on your mobo.
Get a good set of audio monitors.
There is no such thing as surround headphones, its physically impossible. You have two ears. You can tell when something is in front of you, flying by you, all that, with just two ears. You only need two speakers for this, your BRAIN does the surround sound thing, not the speakers. Having 5 or 7 tiny tiny crappy speakers packed in an ear cup does NOTHING to simulate surround sound what so ever.
Surround sound headphones is the biggest lie in the industry.
