i was wondering if the zalman 5.1 zm-rs6f headphones are any good? also do they connect directly to the back of the audigy 2 zs? i currently have the original audigy and there is only one output for headphones and these headphone require i believe 3?

hear me now, believe me later, trust me in between

Most 5.1 headphones are a joke... I suggest testing them to see what you think.

They arn't worth it. Just get a nice set of studio headphones for about the same price and they will probably be better.
I got a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 headphones and they are absolutely amazing.

yeah right now i`m using sony mdr-v6 which is a "legendary studio" model but hearing so many people going on and on about 5.1 i thought i might give it a try. I know as far as home audio i would rather have an old tube amplifier with a single pair of b&w speakers over a entire room of amps and speakers.

yeah they probably are i`m not so thrilled with 5.1 home amps either. i think a really great pair of speakers will do the same thing

Maybe. But I thaught the idea of headphones was contained sound and keeping out outside sounds.

thy i think they are really good as far as freq response and clarity
but they do not have a huge sound stage or transient characteristics a great set of home speakers such as b&w`s have. i guess thats because they have single drivers and are so close to your ears. thats not to say they aren`t great headphones; a comparable set of computer speakers would cost upwards of 500, and these headphones go for about 70

I dont think that 5.1 headphones are a joke, but maybe a work in progress.

A decent 5.1 home stereo is better then any headphone or computer speaker systems.

But, for 50.00US a 5.1 headphone is good for gaming, but not for music. I tried out some 5.1 headphones, they were good for gaming, plus have a great Wife/GF factor!

i`m not so sure i agree with that
my 100$ sony headphones sound much better than most 2000$ and under speakers.

Do you perfer gaming with headphones or your 5.1 speakers?

Currently I use $50 Yamaha headphones, but I have been thinking about getting logitech 5.1 speakers.

I output digitaly to my home theater system, so this would be just for gaming.

I know when I switched from my old 5 year old Altec Lansing 2.1 system to headphone I could hear a lot more.

For example in a FPS I could hear doors/footsteps/reload noises from much farther away.
 
My headphones sound much better in games and stuff but I prefer using my speakers just because wearing headphones for hours starts getting a little uncomfortable. I also enjoy the nice bass my speakers have, lol. Theres nothing like having a grenade go off in HL2 and watchin ur windows shake :)

well the amp was only like 100
but the speakers are polk and were like 400
i sure would love some b&w speakers
they are like 3000+


your all just a bunch of slaves
how long you gonna let them push you around
 
Polk are crappy speakers, but good/decent for a computer setup.
B&W are great speakers, but over priced.

i have the polk rt5`s they r ok; use them for home audio
b&w are worth every penny
they are beautiful and sound really really good
i think they r so much because they import them from the UK
those british scum!!
