Does anyone here use 5.1 headphones? How well do they work?

[Stinkfinger]

I'd like to get a pair because the room my pc is in just won't accomodate a 5.1 speaker system. Perferably I like a pair with a built-in mic. How's the sound quality, convincing?

I've had my eye on these:

Problem is is that I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any suggestions/recommendations?

I've read mixed things.

Here are a couple threads to get you started:

will your computer accomodate a 5.1 speaker setup?

I bought these LTB True 5.1 Headphones over from Newegg.net, except I got the USB version. I'm very much satisfied by the sound quality, but I've had some problems with the USB version (probably because my games are set to use hardware based accelleration) and the microphone detaches when you don't need to use it...

I tried the Zalman ones a while back...not recommended. But I'm sure there are some others that are better. If you listen to music at all, I would suggest just getting a good pair of stereo headphones.

quality stereo >>>>>> "5.1" (quotes because it is not actually 5.1)

Enlightening stuff! I already have a set of nice Sony headphones I paid $100+ for a few years ago. I think I'll stick with those. Thanks guys.
