I'm looking at getting a surround head set. Im looking the Zalman at xoxide http://www.xoxide.com/za51suulgahe.html for 43.99.Seems like good deal and I'm also looking the Psyload 5.1 Channel Real Surround Headphone at newgg for 119 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...=70&manufactory=1281&DEPA=1&sortby=14&order=1 .I'm leary about spending that much money unless its going to sound really really good and I know what a good head set sounds like.

Why not go sennheiser? I own 2 pairs and they are the best sounding headphones I have ever heard. I own HD497 and HD 280 pro. Each of these can be had for under $80

The Zalman headphones connect to the front and rear outputs of your sound card. Wouldn't that mean that everytime you wanted to use the headphones, you'd have to disconnect your regular speakers? It would be a pain to keep switching plugs all the time.

The Psyload ones don't have a product link, so I have no idea about those.

EmTSeat19 most people that use headphones don't use normal speakers so that not a problem. Headphones are great for silent PC gaming or LAN type events.

Anyone else have some input on these? I really would liek some info on the Zalmans.

I own a sennheiser HD600 already love it but I need to get a wire replacement for it.I got the Zalmans the surround is ok but they are the most un comfertable(SP?) head set I have ever worn.They are held on your ears by a little ring that rests behind the ear lobe.After time it really begins to hurt.

i think you are refering to the old style. look at his link, they rest on the top of your head (the traditional way)
