So as the title says, I want see if I can improve on my current sound situation.
Right now I have an X-Fi Fatal1ty and a Medusa 5.1 Headset (http://www.medusa-canada.com/medusa-51-progamer-edition-v2-p-867.html).
The headset is quite nice, and this is actually the second pair I've gone through over the last two and a half years. I sorta broke my first pair, and then they sent me another pair. Kinda broke this pair again, same place on the headband as the first pair I broke, but this time I used some epoxy glue to fix it :D
What I really want is amazing sound while gaming. I would simply jump and grab a 7.1 speaker setup, but when you get on Vent, everyone can hear your sound in the background, and I just think that is rude. Why Vent doesn't have an option to mute sound while your keybind is down is beyond me, but whatever. :rolleyes:
So, I guess my only option is to find an awesome pair of headphones. I don't mind having a mic on the desk as opposed to my headphones, so I am shooting for quality here, not necessarily an all in one package. Also, it seems those Medusa's are the highest rated headphones that do the 5.1 thingy with multiple speakers.
Sorta looking at these at the moment. (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=179732)
So, yeah, very long post, I know. But any recommendations to take advantage of the best gaming sound, 5.1/7.1, and be able to use Vent would be very appreciated!
