Sweeeet! I found someone that is going to get me this headset for my present. LOL! You said a mouthful when you said 'IF' it is as good quality as it claims. I haven't had much luck with any surround sound headsets the reason I would like to test them out. I had the Tritton AX Pro 5.1 and they suck balls. However it is true, the more you pay the better it suppose to perform. Just ask my girlfriend.
