A True Gamer's (USB) Headset - 5.1 Surround plus Force Feedback

At some point every PC gamer needs a set of headphones. Whether it's to keep your roommates or your significant other from griping that you have the sound too loud or just because you don't want the booms of your sniper rifle to scare the old lady next door, headphones definitely have their place.

We have checked out USB 5.1 surround headphones before from Tritton and found them to be pretty nice despite of its spotty OpenAL support. eDimensional has now announced it is shipping worldwide its own USB headset with the addition of force feedback support. This pair of USB cans promise to let you feel an enemy coming before you can see them. The force feedback appears to be simply vibration that also increases the bass effects according to the company. We have used force feedback headphones before and found the vibration to be a bit gimmicky. Hopefully, eDimensional AudioFX Pro 5+1 gaming headset will impress us. The price for the AudioFX Pro 5+1 headphones is $79.95.
