I used to have the Turtle beach heatset and it was OK but the cord (cough cough) got ran over 1 too many times. So I bought the Logitech G35's and I have not had a headset sound so good, IMO. They were a little pricy when I bought them but for full immersion into a game OHH BABY!!!!

Here is the website for them.

Actually, I find the surround sound to be very useful in AH2, especially when GVing.  You can position an enemy tank by sound alone and it sounds incredible compared to regular stereo headphones.
Ahh well that may be, the only time I GV is when I'm running troops somewhere.

i am such an idiot, i got the g35 headset, based on lawndarts reviews.  it was awesome up untill when the last up date came in then surround sound was gone.  thought it was due to the problems  with the new miles system.  I just checked my head set, i must've at some point pressed the button to remove the surround sound option, and now i am back to full sound awesomeness  :x.

I love my Turtle Beach HPA2 head phones, can't recommend them enough.  They use a pass over to connect to your 5.1 sound card and only uses a USB connection to power the mini-amp that comes with it.  The 5.1 is true 5.1 surround sound and the sound quality is excellent for games and very good for movies and music.

OMFG.  I saw these mentioned by a Ack Ack and others on the boards and when I needed a headset, I decided to pick up a set to replace the ones my son "more or less permanently borrowed".

I can't believe how much better things sound - it's literally like hearing some of my favorite music again for the first time.

And to think I've spent as much as 40 dollars or so on a binaural "nothing really special" headset when I need one the last couple of times - I can't believe how much better these sound for just a bit more.
