    Great headset if you're after 5.1 audio.

    Unfortunately, the power cord is located fairly close to the audio connectors; if you want to turn the headset off, you need to reach behind your computer and unplug it (as its self powered and will not turn off when you power down your computer).

    I wonder what "true" surround-sound one can get from a headphone. Hey, marketing department: headphones feed just two ears.

    @riredale:
    Any audio system will "feed just two ears" unless you're a circus freak.

    #3: You're right, I was sloppy in my analysis. What I meant is that with headphones the soundfield never changes even if you turn your head. Putting multiple channels in a headphone cup is a pointless exercise.
