if u are speaking of 5.1 headset, i think roccat kave is the best one to date.
compared to megalodon, it's also much cheaper.
agree...
if speakin of REAL 5.1 (not include virtual sound), kave is the 1 of the best so far...
compared to barracuda, kave almost beat barracuda in all aspects except the weight

(almost every reviewer said tat =.=)
compared to psyko 5.1, psyko is too exp =.= can get a better hs at tat price
Turtle Beach =.=? seldom see ppl use tis hs in MY... not sure abt it
etc...
btw, megalodon is 7.1 =.="
they made a simple comparision between AD700 and Roccat Kave:
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/500924...-roccat-kave/15both are good hs but both hav their own pros and cons...
QUOTE
Personally I would go with the AD700 because it is a cross platform headphone.
QUOTE
Well the thing is, With roccat kave you will hear footsteps farther away, giving you more time to react and bigger immersion
With ad700, you'll hear it only when it is really close to you, giving you just a bit of time to react, in case you are camping or so, the thing is you'll hear it clearer and more pleasing to your ears
QUOTE
Yes but the problem is that not all the sounds are sent to 2 speakers, but the surround and center channels are present on the roccat fully, while you'd get them in another condition with the ad700.
Well I think you got what I meant.
I have a roccat system and a sennheiser hd600 and mixamp and I know what I am saying.
It is awareness +information+lower volumes+ good sound quality VS less awareness and information +higher volumes+ EXECELENT sound quality
QUOTE
After that, as everyone was using dolby headphones, but I tell you, if what you want is the headset to help you be aware of what your enemies are doing in a multiplayer you should stay with zalman or upgrade to roccat as they are great, and are the best 5.1 headset around.
QUOTE
Ah, if you have onboard sound, of the motherboard, Roccat Kave will be a better choice. If you plan to buy a soundcard, something like the Xonar DX or Essence or Creative X-Fi, then AD700 will be the better choice.
abt REAL 5.1 and VIRTUAL 7.1
after i read abt 20+ reviews
i cant make a conclusion which 1 is better...
some said VIRTUAL sound will never beat REAL sound
some said you can hear footsteps more clearer in VIRTUAL 7.1 coz it got 7 directions
bla bla bla...
one man food is another man's poison
all depend on the user~ (my fren like strong bass and he say its just nice but when i listen to it, i feel like the bass is too strong ad =.=)
ohya, they said Turtle Beach hs is cheaper than Roccat Kave...
anybody try b4?
