Most usb virtual surround headsets are crap or overpriced. Get the razer surround software for $20 and a nice stereo gaming headset from Sennheiser. Cheaper and the sound will be a million times better. I have the Sennheiser HD 350 SE and the razer software.

Then why are you getting a usb headset? If you have the software get a real headset.

IMO you're dumbing out. What you think is bad is the whole package when realistically it's the HEADSET not the SOFTWARE. What Iamsoda is suggesting is to buy a NEW HEADSET but because Razer's surround sound software is so good to keep it.

Can you suggest how much you're willing to spend on a new headset and where you are please? I will just find what's best in that price bracket (IMO)

You don't need a sound card for virtual surround. The razer software acts like that. Unless you paid $250 for your headset, I don't think it has 10 drivers in your headphones. No you do not and I would say don't get the usb headphones. The razer software will do the surround as good or better. Plus then you can put money towards a better sounding stereo headphones. Do you understand what virtual surround sound is?
