Audio Which 5.1 Headphones ?

bombaybaba · Jan 14, 2011

I am looking for 5.1 Headphones with a budget of 5k max.

What would be the best model in that price range and do they really provide true surround sound or is it simulated ?:huh:

Thanks.

Roccat Kave 5.1 headset. I did purchase one from Prime ABGB for 5400/-. Dont know if its still available at that price.

As for the sound, yes its real and spot on.

Thanks hideous , but Prime isn't stocking them it seems , but they have a Plantronics GameCom 777 Gaming Headset which claims to be

- Gaming headset with 5-channel Dolby Surround Sound

- 5.1 Dolby Headphone technology for a true 5.1 surround sound experience

Let me see some reviews on net and post here later.

Update - Prime isn't stocking the Plantronics either. :-(

If you have a good soundcard , Kave should do better.

but Kave has very less bass

You can always order online.

Thanks guys , will follow this on a war footing on the weekend and update soon.

Update - Prime says they might get it by next week.

No Roccat yet at Prime but they have Razer Megalodon @ Rs. 7400/-

From what I have seen on reviews from ign and other sites including Techtree they seem like a good buy.

Does anyone have any other suggestion , then now is the time or forever hold your peace.

Would prefer to buy locally. Hence not yet contacted amarbir.

The local Zapak gave me price of 6600 for Roccat ! Its expected around 5400 at Prime.
