Hello everyone! It's my first post here and I'm comming with a problem I'm struggling since a while.
It's comming a time to swap my gaming headset for somethink new and fresh and let me explain my situation:
For many many years I was incredible happy user of my old Roccat Kave 5.1 headset, note which is importand is: this headset is no fake/virtual/sorround 5.1, it's just true analog 5.1 with usb+4x mini jack. Every of my pc build run on Asus RoG motherboard, which was integrated with SupremeFX audio chipset, which was successor of old good Asus Rog Phoebeus sound card. I know this headset is synthetic, i know it's over bass'ed, however true 5.1 with quality sound card allways bring astonishing experiences from Fps games, like old good CoD4:MW or Battlefield. Sorround on this setup was faaar more effective and real than many usb (aka fake/ pseudo) 5.1 headsets just with 1usb cable connection.
At this moment my old Roccat looks a bit junky and I want to buy somethink new. Here comes a struggle:
PS I would like to hear opinions from people who have personal experience, I'm not interested about marketing slogans from webshops.
Thanks!

At this moment my old Roccat looks a bit junky and I want to buy somethink new. Here comes a struggle:
- At this moment the only one true analog headset which is still available in shops is Razer Tiamat 7.1 v2, however people complain alot about reliability, quality, problems with compativility, settings, etc; so i'm not sure is that a best way to go... Or I'm wrong?
- If not Tiamat then there's nothink else with analog 7.1. I guess I would be forced to buy usb 7.1, em I right? Maybe You guys know any other models in thoose criterias?
- How is it theese days with Atmos and all thoose fake dolby codecs? Are they at least a bit comparable with real 7.1? I mean mostly a sorround system and positioning in FPS games. Is it worth spending 300$?
