Ever since they first launched, gaming headsets with surround sound were always considered gimmicky by ardent gamers. However, they have gradually become the real deal today, leveraging software to emulate a surround sound aura that works – you can sense the quietest of in-game sounds with 360-degree spatial awareness. It’s like having a sixth sense! So if you’re keen on pinpointing the exact location of your enemy, here are four excellent 7.1 surround sound headphones to explore.
Logitech G 633S 7.1 LIGHTSYNC
Get detailed audio output with the large 50mm Pro-G drivers, made of woven hybrid mesh. Designed to minimise distortion, this is fully customisable and senses in-game action on supported games. DTS Headphone:X 2.0 surround sound provides razor-sharp positional awareness, allowing you to hear enemies sneak up stealthily and be prepared for sudden aerial ambushes. Additional gaming specs include audio mixing, multi-platform compatibility, programmable G-keys on the headset, 16.8 million light sync RGB, an enormous 6mm flip-to-mute microphone, etc.
