Ross, thanks for the reply. I did some more research after that last post and came to basically the same conclusion. Auzentech actually makes a lossless sound card, but that seems to be overkill for a headset. Maybe someday the technology will be to where dropping that kind of money is...

From what I've read in reviews, most people love them, but they say they aren't as comfortable as some headsets and they tend to break. I also wonder if the volume would be limited since the drivers would have to be very small. Update: there are other headsets with multiple speakers in them...

Actually that was going to be my next question. I wasn't really planning on the expense for just a headset though. If I wanted lossless sound I figured I would be looking at a separate amp and that seems like overkill for my PC. That's why I didn't even mention lossless audio. Maybe the next...

If I do go with the suggestion of stereo headphones and rely on the card to do the surround emulation which card/headset combination would you recommend? I'm still hoping to find a better surround solution and keep EAX, but I'm not ruling anything out just yet.

I see where you are coming from now. I guess I should have clarified that I'm looking to upgrade not just keep the status quo. Looking for the best solution. Guess I was kind of hoping there was something better than just emulated surround and stereo headsets. But if that really is all that's...

I didn't ask about the G35. Nor am I interested in getting sidetracked by terminology, but I do have to disagree with you on one point. There are in fact headsets that offer true surround sound such as the Turtle Beach model I mentioned in the original post. Saying something will work just as...

Perhaps I need to clarify. Here are my requirements: 1) Headset 2) EAX support (either on the headset or via sound card) 3) Dolby Digital and DTS 4) Comfortable (doesn't leave me with a headache after an hour of use) Although not required it would be nice if the EAX effects could be heard...

I realize EAX is not a surround format. I know it is a common mistake. My point remains. Older games lose a lot of their environmental sound effects without EAX, which is not supported by any USB headsets that I'm aware of except those made by Creative Labs. They can be and are on newer games...

I like my Logitech G35 headset but the lack of EAX is getting very annoying. So it is time to upgrade and I'm looking for some advice. I watch Blu-Ray movies as well as play games (mainly older ones where EAX is a must). So both EAX and Dolby/DTS are required. There is no real price limit but I...
