First up was Crysis and all seemed well until I got in a Hummer and could barely hear the sound of the engine when the car was pointed forwards (into the screen) and the camera view was external. Adjusting the volumes of the centre and rear channels helped a bit, but the sound was still noticeably uneven, it seemed as though some of the sound was missing as the vehicle careered down a dirt track in near silence. Whilst driving, moving the camera to either side using the mouse revealed the sound of the engine. I sighed a little. Although not nearly as severe, the Ear Force X-52 has the same uneven 3D soundfield as the Medusa 5.1 headsets.
