Default [Electronista] Razer debuts 7.1-channel Megalodon headset
http://www.electronista.com/articles...lodon.headset/

Quote:
Peripheral maker Razer has announced a new headset, the Megalodon. Intended for gaming, the unit has a microphone for voice chats and commands, with sensitivity adjustable through a desk-based control module. The headset's focus however is on simulating 7.1-channel surround sound, a task handled through a decoder which Razer claims is eight times faster than similar chipsets. As necessary, the control module also lets users toggle back to 2.0-channel sound, and tweak settings for bass, volume and positioning.

The headphones produce 200mW of power, and have a frequency response range between 20Hz and 20KHz. To make the headset more comfortable, both the headband and earphones are cushioned. Razer plans to ship the Megalodon sometime in the fourth quarter of the year.
The Razer Megalodon will retail for 139.99 Euros. This should be my next headset.

It better be above and beyond any other comparable headset with that price tag. If it measures up then i'll consider buying one. My Sennheisers are showing their age.

I would rather buy Denon's D2000's for that price, and it would sound 100x times better.

I will surely wait on reviews for that headset before considering. Price is pretty steep.

Surround headsets are a joke.

In any game with a decent audio engine you can pinpoint where players are with a good set of stereo headphones. You'll also have superior audio quality at the same time.
