Only issue I've had with them, my first pair's cable shit itself after like three years... so I just got another pair.
Good for games, clear mic, etc.
Not good for music.

In gaming there is an advantage, at least my son who like me plays TF2 says he can detect the direction foot steps and firing are coming from much better (more accurately) than with his former stereo plantronics 377. Oh and I assume if you were watching blu-ray on your computer 7.1 would be very sweet indeed. :)I read that there's no advantage to 'surround sound' headphones vs normal stereo headphones.

A good solid pair of cans with great comfort and mike would do me.
My Roccat Kave hurt a couple parts of my head and made my eyes feel extra strained after a hour or so of use so perhaps a really BIG AND COMFY set of cans could help.
I hear Plantronics are solid.
I have the same issue with my Kaves, but then I realised I wasn't sitting them on my head properly, when all 3 pads rest on your skull properly they're far more comfy.

I have to say my steelsounds are very comfortable and no sensation of head or ear squeezing, I can wear them for hours with no problems at all. My son reports he has the same sort of comfort with his Razer Megalodon. :)Could the closed in technology on my headset be a reason of discomfort blocking my blood flow on my head of something.
Cause I just had a 1 hour session on that Roccat last night and my whole left ear felt red and hot as hell with a horrible feeling of internet blurry pain within the ear.
Truly horrible sensation.
I asked, he said he tried it but decided it did not seem to help, but he says with the Megalodon there is a marked difference.Was he using 'virtual surround' with his previous stereo headphones?

Yeah I tend to agree with this.
I had a set of logitech stereo gaming headphones that plugged into a usb dongle via a 3.5mm jack, I could just as easily hear the direction of things with them, however surround sounds are much louder with a real 5.1/7.1 set vs a stereo set with virtual surround.

They were of course $350 down to $100. But they are sex. You can bluetooth your phone to it so you can take calls and still game. And it automatically adjusts the sound when taking calls. They are such brilliantly awesome headphones. Very clever, brilliant sound. Crystal clear mic.
Of course that sale is weeks gone now. But just thought I'd mentions these as an aside as they are the best I've used. From a brand I've never heard of.
