Do you want virtual surround sound or wireless?

Does it need to work on PC/360/PS3/all?

im a complete noob to all this gaming heaphones stuff so i dont now what virtual surround sound is . wireless sounds like it would be handy but if the price goes up alot then im fine with wired.


it only needs to work on ps4. thats the main reason im buying them but would be handy to use on the ps3 until november. are headphones better sound than standard hdtv speakers? there isnt anythign wrong with my speakers but i just hear alot of good stuff about gaming headphones here so im interested in buying some

They're great, but keep an eye out for crack under the silver circular part and keep some super glue handy.

THIS!

They are absolutely stunning headphones and the sound out of them is enormous. After experiencing these i can't ever go back.

But mine developed fatigue cracks too. I superglued them and wrapped duct tape around the area, i don't care how it look as long as it stays working and intact!

Glue on the inside of the band as well, it's not actually connected there so you can give it a bit more support.
