Pay £40 for 2 drivers or pay £40 for 6 drivers.
I know which will sound better, also i find stereo better in things like CS than surround sound as it gives you a clear left or right on sound and then you narrow it down.
Which is why i am glad bit-tech disliked the zalmans.
I (also) own the previous version that plug into a sound card. I've found the surround sound is significantly better than any other stereo headphones I've tried, including the Sennheisers I listen to music with. However, my Creative T5400 5.1 speaker system does a better job of locating sound accurately. For me the big benefit of the Zalmans over 5.1 speakers is my wife does come and turn them off. So, while the 5.1's are better, I rarely get to use them at a decent volume. Also, they are incredibly comfortable for many hour sessions
I have the original ones of these aswell, best headphones I have used, great in counter-strike. Seems the USB version doesn't work as well for pinpointing sound as the standard ones. The folding is a good thing as it makes them easier to move around to LANs etc.
