Sennheiser 559 terrible?

[Kabajisan]

Hello there dear commuinity!

I just got a new pair of Sennheiser 559 for gaming(Overwatch) which needs positional accuracy and i found out that the positional accuracy is terrible compared to my Hyper X Cloud II.
I don't know if its a problem on my PC or if its a problem generally from the Headphones which i think it isn't.

Do you guys know any clues?

thank you

The sennheiser 559 are just regular headphones while the Hyper X cloud II have built in surround virtualisation. Unless you have a sound card or a USB DAC that can do virtual surround for headphones, you will never have any positional accuracy with the 559, just plain stereo. I hope i didn't misunderstand the question.

The Problem is suddenly the Hyper X Cloud II stoped giving me the positional accuracy too which is super weeird.
