Hi, my headphones are done. Can you guys recommend any good headphones which support 5.1/7.1 audio, price range is £100.
In near future, I'll be ditching onboard audio and will be getting Asus Xonar DX.
Thanks

For music or gaming. It seems to me if your asking for 5.1 or 7.1 on a headphone than it's gaming. Audio I know in spades, gaming not so much. I use AKG 701's and love them........no I LOVE them ! But on a budget the best phones for the money are Grado SR60's. Grado Prestige SR 60 - headphones - Ear-cup, Binaural
Hello there!
Here is what I've used for a few years. Excellent sound and very comfortable on my ears. I use them for PC gaming and movie/music with my PC
Sony MDR V500DJ - headphones - Ear-cup, Binaural - Black
Sony MDR- V500DJ headphones
Surround sound headphones look to a respected brand like Sennheiser.
Newegg.com - Sennheiser - Wireless Stereo Surround Sound Headphones w/ transmitter (RS 160)
I use to have these, which lasted 3-4 years
SteelSeries – SteelSeries 5Hv2
then went for these, which lasted like 2 years and right speaker is gone (still using same)
Zalman ZM-RS6F Series 5.1 Surround Headphones
what about the ones which got USB, are they any good?
Just realized, I got only one pci slot available due to 5770's in crossfire and i can't fit d2x in there so have to go with single slot card. Got two options now

which one will you go for and why?
Again this is why you look to respected brands. Zalman makes cases and coolers, SteelSeries makes.......? Steel? When looking for quality audio seek a quality audio manufacturer......IMHO.
You are correct sir. And now I can see it's all about the game. These got a good review lately but not for music as I'm sure they suck for that.

Yeah they are pricey and look like idiot garb. Maybe you'll like these?
