soright903 · 11-09-2009, 11:06 AM

Can anyone here reccomend a good 5.1 Dolbly Digital Wirelss headset. This will mostly be used for gaming. I dont care about playing online, not sure if that maters. I just want to metal gears, Batman, etc in 5.1 withouht waking up the wife or kids. I have an Onkyo 805 receiver with Infinity speakers all around. Ocasionlly I may use them for a music or movie dvd. Thanks for any help. I appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.

The 5.1 refers to 6 distinct channels; headsets have 2 channels (left ear, right ear). How do you get a 5.1 headset?

i just bought the rs-140 from j&r. I'v read good things about them , can't wait for them to get here. Ijust assumed there were 5.1 headphones, but I never understood how it could give you the same effect.
