The ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital Surround Headset with USB Remote & Sound Card offers real, not virtual, 5.1 surround sound, plus an on?off switchable vibration function. Sound is reproduced in 3D thanks to the speakers which are arranged at 12 angles. As a result, noises can be precisely pinpointed - a decisive advantage in games. Even with films, the sound is gorgeously realistic and you feel like you're right in the center of the action. What's more, the softly padded earcups shield out irritating background noises perfectly.
