Well I guess you can Kick me Now I ordered the Striker From New Egg this morning, I was thinking of getting the the OMEGA Claro Halo, but I am low on funds, well Lower than I thought, well til next month that is, so I took the chance and figured that the External Inspire GD580 Decoder Would get everything working together nicely, Well that is what I'm hoping for. But If things do not work out with the speaker set up I currently have & the Earforce HPA2 Head set, then I'm sure I could send it back and exchange it. But I must say that for the price these Headphones do give pretty good sound & having used them while playing several games with them, I was able to make out sounds coming from either Left or right side as well as behind.

Also I spent several hours late last night searching with Google for a better 5.1 speaker set up and what kept popping up were the Logitech Z-5500 Digital 5.1 Speaker System I found Very few Reviews but mostly on CNet & found them for about $30.00 Less on Amazon, I have been thinking of saving up and getting them. They do have one draw back though as stated in the Review "Midrange is arguably the system's greatest weakness, because of a somewhat noticeable disconnect between the subwoofer and the satellites".

Which I know makes things "fake", but in a lot of music it sounds pretty darn good. So look elsewhere than the Striker.
