I see its been discussed already these appear different regarding how it handles surround simulation.

Those headsets appear to depend on Dolby encoding to provide a surround sound experience.  Aces High does not use any encoding to produce surround sound.  The 3D sound field is a true 3D sound field in the game.

Dolby is pseudo-3D in that it provides steering logic for the sound field.

These are the headphones I use for gaming.  Excellent 5.1 sound in games and movies, though it does lack when it comes to music.

I think I'm going to buy this as a gift for Storch/Osceola.  He can use the "Troll" voice morphing setting when he tunes his vox to opponents to harass them.  Too bad it doesn't have a squeeker setting so his voice matches his 10-year-old personality.     :D
