Yep, strong enough for a proper good feel. If its an explosion, then it will imitate to do the same. But this vibration is only limited to audio with such output.

Hi i wanna know if u are able to distinguish clearly the directions of sound.. whether all 5 speakers can be distinguished properly... especially in CS and COD... Bioshock 2 will be a good silent FPS game to pin point where are the sounds are coming from

since its a 5.1. headphones it must be able to do it job.. can u make a comparison with the 5.1 simulated surroud sound by Siberia..

Thanks bro!

Siberia is simulated 7.1 which I can't distinguish almost anything at all. As for the Kave, yes, all directions can be distinguished quite very clearly.

4 jacks..
My lappy only got 3 sound jacks..
So means I can exclude 1 of them and still get 5.1 performance?
LOL..
Using desktop so long dy until 4get laptop got 3 holes only..
>.>
Means I can either put all the cable and exclude the mic or should I exclude one of the cable and insert the mic?
Since I hardly use mics anyway..
Might intend to get 1 soon around april coz now stocks all too limited..
T.T
My audio technica is on sabbatical leave till june..

Its hard to say, some say Siberia's better than 5H v2 while the others say otherwise. So its mostly self preference, however most say 5H v2 doesn't have much difference from Siberia Full-size Headset USB so its totally up to you. Siberia Full-size Headset USB offers 2 50mm drivers while the 5H v2 has only 2 40mm drivers.

Razer Megalodon is real 7.1 biggrin.gif

Edit: After thorough checking Megalodon is simulated 7.1 with 2.1 speakers configuration.

Really?Is there other 7.1 headphone?How about the performance?
Wow,same like Roccat(but Roccat is 5.1 real).Is that real 7.1 means got different speaker instead of maybe 2 speaker but simulate into a surround?

5.1 = front left/right, center/sub, rear left/right
7.1 = front left/right, center/sub, side left/right, rear left/right

hmm.gif After thorough checking, Megalodon's 7.1 is simulated.

No, no, it's simulated 7.1 using the Maelstrom Engine.

Simulated as it is, the sound's pretty accurate in CS:S.

I'm guessing the Kave will be more accurate, it being real 5.1, have u tried it, bro?

Yep, I've tried CS:S, COD:MW2, COD4:MW and L4D2. All sounded fantastic. After reading some reviews about Megalodon they say the simulated 7.1 is not accurate.

Just curious, how strong is the vibration.

Can't be good to have vibration in different areas of the head.
