Hi.. I got an asus xonar dx and i'm thinking of buying a headset to go with it..

here are my choices..

Logitech G35
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6826104281
=====> logitech says it uses a second generation of dolby headphones..

Sennheiser PC350
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] er%20pc350
=====> just stereo headphones

=which of these is better?
=does G35 sound a good 7.1 even though its not a "true" 7.1 surround?
=can PC350 provide good surround sound even if it's just stereo?

Thanks!

I don't own any of those, so i can't really post an opinion there however, based on Sennheiser's track record i would be willing to bet that those head phones sound absolutely amazing.

I wonder though, don't a lot of those USB headsets with 5.1 and 7.1 have their own little sound card sort of built in, so the sound card on the computer doesn't make a difference?

if you planning on using your sound card, don't buy a USB headset... your sound card will just be ignored.
in this case go with a Tritton
