I need myself a good pair of surround sound headphones.

I have teh X-fi Extreme Music sound card and I am looking at 2 headsets.

The Razer Barracuda HP-1

AND

The Tritton AX360

They both get great reviews but I am not sure which set to purchase, anybody have any personal experience with either set??

Any comments would be appreciated.

Its either you like or dislike the product... Try one of them and tell us what you think.

There are mixed opinions of what "surround sound" is supposed to be and how headphones will probably not accuratly reproduce that.

For starters I didn't hear both of them perform myself but some checking on all sorts of forums and other I would say that you should dgo for the razer barracuda HP-1 since the most and best user reviews go to this piece of HW.

What is always one of the most important comparison criteria (certainly for HeadPhones) is; 1. Comfort (how they fit your ears and consequentely leave them after use of them after anything more than 1 hour) and 2. the frequency response and offcourse the fidelity of the sound they produce.

Anyhow, good luck and enjoy your on-ear-surround soon :p
