Surround Sound Headphones, REALLY help!

[NoConflict]

Holy crap, I am amazed, i have been playing on just 2 speakers with BF2, so today I thought I would go down to my local Frys, and buy some surround sound headphones and a sound card, GOOD CHOICE. I went and got me a pair of Turtle Beach 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones, and a Sound Blaseter Audigy 2 sound card, wow, I could hear everything, the opposing medics around the corrner, and even enemy footsteps, i knew which way to turn in a split cause i heard their footsteps, this deffinatly made me a better player, its insane

Re: Surround Sound Headphones, REALLY help!

i threw on some Sony headphones I love it...I can hear everything and everyone around me with them on, helps with recognizing the direction of sniper shots or when enemies spot you

I really like my Zalman 5.1 headphones . Allso it helps to go into sound options and raise your bass and treble . With the treble raised i find its easyer to hear footsteps .

You're wrong mate.

I've got a Logitech Z-5500 speaker system, and an Audigy LS card (upgrading to X-Fi Fatal1ty in 2 weeks! ) - and each speaker are distinct from the others.
A good way to test this is to be in an APC, in the outside view, and shoot your main cannon "behind" your view, you'll hear the sound coming out ONLY from the rear speakers.

The 5.1 in BF2 works really great, and is very useful in pinpointing a sniper/choppers location.

If you don't experience 5.1 in BF2, there must be something wrong with your soundcard/speaker setup/settings.

I guess it's just a lot more noticable in CS:S



I just don't hear it in BF2

Re: Surround Sound Headphones, REALLY help!

Yeah i use Zalman theatre6 5.1 headphones also and if you focus you can locate snipers and incoming vehicles quite accurately :) And in CS:S it gives nice advantages.
