Do you have to install the Viper software in order to enable 7.1 virtual surround?

There was no indication that it was necessary.
The software doesn't give you any kind of control over 7.1, so it should work either way.

About where would you rank this headset? I have a couple different headsets: Rosewill head does 5.1(7.1 simulated) and rumble but after the 3 years, the sound had started to go a little fuzzy but the headphones were still comfortable.

Since the sound started going out though, I got a set of gamester gear 2.1 headphones and they also had the same rumble feature but weren't nearly as good.

What I guess I'm asking is there a way to get a ranking chart, even if it is personal tastes on where these headphones compare to others?

Unfortunately my experience with other headsets is limited to say the least.
I have an old steelseries 7H, and i used to have 5Hs, but other than that I really haven't done any others.

this wasn't meant to be a comprehensive review, just a hands-on experience from my perspective. I'm by no means a headphone expert.
