[QUOTE="pandaattack, post: 898544, member: 20923"] Howsit dude! First off, virtual 7.1 is total nonsense. You are far better off just rocking stereo. Sounds will be more natural and there is absolutely no problem with positioning in stereo mode. After all, '7.1 headphones' are all stereo headies. (bar a few exceptions...) Something like the Nuprime would work really well. Also an Asus pcie sound card is ideal for this situation. I use a Sennheiser Game Zero set plugged straight into my Asus ROG mobo (it has an impressive onboard dac/amp) and absolutely love it for the mic quality and neutral sound it produces. Super comfortable for long sessions. Then I have an HD598 hooked up to a headphone dac/amp for when I'm keen on a movie or some music behind the PC. I switch between the two often depending on what I am doing. First step would be to get a proper headphone like you are planning to, run it from your motherboard and decide if you like it better than what you are running at the moment? Where are you located dude? You are welcome to come listen to what I have if it would give you some perspective? [/QUOTE]
