Isn't everything related to headphones subjective (including your opinion)? ]
Well, I don't know if it is just BF3 but the 5.1 help me tremendously in gaming. Like last night, I was charged with protecting Locker room. I could hear when people were coming up Dog leg before anyone said antyhing. I have often suprised a guy trying to sneak up on me purely by sound.
Have you compared your Kaves with a decent pair of headphones using virtual surround? Because you'll probably find that you get the same benefit with those.
TBH, I tested a variety of different 5.1 and stereo headphones/headsets. I firmly believed that a 5.1 headset would give me an advantage, and that's why I've tried so many of them. What I found though, after doing a fair amount of testing, was that a good pair of stereo cans, combined with a good sound card, is better.
If that's different for you, then cool. All I'm trying to say is that 5.1 headphones aren't the only way to get positional audio. And, they may not be the best way either.
