Pretty sweet. Do they really work?

I have no idea.. haven't seen any reviews anywhere yet. They don't ship until around the 16th according to Gizmodo.

I'm a headphone guy.. I use my headphones all the time. I have a pretty decent set with mic, but not as good as my Kenwoods (without a mic). But I'd love to have a 'surround sound' headset that actually works decently and provides a good mic.

I'm not an 'audiophile' by any means. Once the audio quality reaches a certain point, I really don't hear any difference. Maybe it's because I don't have a 'trained' ear. With video, I'm more picky... but with audio, as long as its clear and crisp with decent bass range, I'm happy. (High end audio equipment salesmen just let out a collective cry in agony. )

My gaming rig currently has a 4.1 setup, but unfortunately the rear speaker bit the dust long ago. I'd love to ditch it for a set of 5.1 'phones--at that price, I'm going to be very tempted indeed.

I see you need to have a 5.1 supported sound card. I was hoping they did all this with a simple USB connector.

You just bought a brand new Alienware PC.. If it didn't come with a 5.1 supported card you better call the NJ State Police to be on the look out for it!
