Ok, I was just as nuts/gonzo about Doom3 coming out as anyone else. I'd been upgrading my PC for the better part of a year in preparation for it when just a few weeks before it came out I read about what a big deal the surround sound was. I think the exact quote was, "if you don't have 5.1 speakers, GET THEM!", that got me started thinking about headphones. I have a very good 4.1 speaker set-up that I've always been more than happy with, but I wondered if indeed I was missing out on something by not having true 5.1 surround.

Then I found out they made 5.1 channel headphones and a little light bulb went off over my head and I figured they'd be the perfect accessory to get to better enjoy my Doom3 experience.
