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!Originally Posted by [AK]Bribo

I am running with on board sound for now. I only have a simple 3 speaker set up (no surround) so I didn't see much point in getting a $200 sound card. If/when I make the jump to 5.1 then I'll consider it.You just bought a brand new Alienware PC..

5.1 is built into the mobo anyhow, I believe.

The usb emulates the 5.1 into the headphones. They were demoing this product on 'The Screen Savers' over two years ago. They said back then it would take some time before they finished it. Looks like it's done!
rock on!
It were the Panasonic's they showed on TSS, and they were released in Japan well before they were released here.
By the way, if you were a fan of TSS (Now "Attack of the Show" - GAY! HATE HATE HATE G4), Leo, Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose, and Robert Herron are doing weekly Podcasts that was originally called ROTSS (Revenge of the Screen Savers) - but of course they couldn't legally use that name so now it's TWIT (This week in Tech) .
