It is a true 5.1 headset with 4 speaker each side. But the 5.1 surround experience is not always same with well-placed speaker system.
Sound quality is awasome. I'm enjoying my new Headset. :)

@Vish2a9l, 5.5k.

@d6bmg, Thanks :).

Corsair Vengeance 1500(good headset) is support virtual 7.1 surround(not true) sound. It has a USB sound card. Only produce sound through its own usb sound card.
I have creative SB audigy sound card produce wonderful sound and with EAX advanced hd effects produces ultra-realistic sound.

If i dont have that card and have only onboard soundcard I definitely thought otherwise.

Thanks! Ya, its a really good heatset. :)

Remote is quite sturdy, sits tightly with the cable wrapped both side, so hopefully durability should not become an issue.

True. You have to connect all four 3.5mm jack to your soundcard just as i did with my creative audigy 5.1 sound card. :)

It comes with 4 connectors which means you cannot use this with onboard soundcard if you want to use mic.
