I can vouch for it... it simulates up to 7.1 using the DD decoder in the base unit, then transmits the stereo signal to the headphones (but they sound like surround). I've tested it with a few games and movies and while the surround is less obvious than with a dedicated 5.1 system, it does a good job (and from what I understand, a better job than the headphones with more than two drivers in them).t0mby wrote:Sorry, should've expanded on that, does that mean it has a digital decoder built in to the base unit? I only ask as very few do of that size. Like, can you plug the PS360 directly via optical and it works in surround?

Re: Recommend me some headphones
Keeping with my love for audio-technica, I got a set of these for xmas

Despite initially finding them uncomfortable they're really good. Plus the in-line dongle thingy has a "monitor" button which cuts out all sounds if you hold it down which is great if you have someone talking to you.

Re: Recommend me some headphones
Thinking of making the plunge on the Turtle Beach XP500. Need headphones for my 360, wireless headphones purely for music is also a plus, and would like to use them on my PC if I want to. Seems to be the go.

Re: Recommend me some headphones
Actually waiting on a pair of Silverado's from California Headphones. I listen to a fair bit of rock, acoustic and the like, so should be good.
Ordered them on Kickstarter for $150, now $225 on the site above. I think it's the last thing I backed on KS and will get them before all the other backed items!.

I don't normally dig headphones purely based on looks (except Skuillcandys trololol) but they look the sex.

Skullicandys are shit. Over rated pieces of shit and crap build quality.

I find the X41's good for gaming but lousy for music or movies.

Just got some https://www.complyfoam.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for my apple in-ears, (don't hurt me!) - the difference is astounding. never not getting foam inserts ever again! Just the fact that they stay put is great.
