Neat little program from Razor. It's a software emulation program for 7.1 surround sound using any headphone/earplugs. I use it at work to listen to music on my stereo earplugs, it does provide a much richer sound than normal stereo but I guess it's only useful if you have stereo headphones/earplugs. Don't use it at home since my G90 headset already provides 7.1 surround sound but if you have stereo headsets and want a much richer/deeper sound, it's a good alternative than shelling out $$$ for more expensive headsets.

Awesome :banana:
Is it better than the G35 software?

No, because it's a different type of program. The Razor program basically emulates 7.1 surround sound through software, which is why it can be used with any stereo headset/earplugs and probably will not provide any benefit at all with headphones that already provide 7.1 surround sound. Though, now I am kind of curious and will try it with my Logitech G90 headset and see if it does anything. But with stereo headphones/earplugs, I can attest that it does give a much more rich sound.
You can test it yourself on their website. There is a little applet that lets you test it out before you decide to download it.

Sirnuke said the G35 emulated 7.1 :old:

The applet sounded nice in my 5.1 headphones, but when I installed the program it just kept asking to plug a compatible headset in. So I uninstalled it.

It downloaded and installed without a hitch for me.
Thanks ACK ACK :aok

I installed it 4 days ago and uninstalled it today. No benefit for me. An associated gripe is the software that installed with it - Razor something or other - that prompt me to to create an additional account. I am sure I could have simply went into "programs" and disabled it but it pissed me off.
