The Dolby certified VOID is another model in the Corsair gaming series and both through a mini-jack (for usage on your phone or console as well comes with a USB adapter for the PC, which when used allows for Dolby Surround 7.1 (virtualized) gaming. All that is based on the all familiar and trusty 50mm neodymium drivers and the Corsair CUE software suite.

Hilbert do you know if they have plans to sell the USB dac separate? I have tons of dacs around, but would love one with the 7.1 emulated surround sound that I can use with my more comfortable headphones.

What is with the trend of headset manufacturers go balls out UGLY in their designs? Do yourselves a favour and forgo any more "PC" headsets and get yourself an HD558/598 with a VModa or Zalman attachable mic!

Or Antlion ModMic v4. And I agree that the HD5x8's are excellent versatile headphones that are good at gaming, music and movies.

When a pair of good headphones starts at 100 Euros (with discount, otherwise 150-200) you'we got to wonder what sacrifices are made in a headset like this that in addition to the headphones also includes a mic, an USB audio chip, "gaming" bling-bling and the software yet costs only 80-90 Euros.

Of all the virtualization solutions I have tried, none sounds even close to decent, all add extra reverb and screw up mid and highs, making the sound fatiguing and unnatural.
