Multi-channel or 5.1 sound has over ordinary stereo sound the advantage that you get a much more precise location of the sound source.
There is for example music that was recorded especially in multi-channel technology and where you can perceive the position of each instrument in the orchestra.
But even in computer games, it gives the gamer a distinct advantage of knowing exactly from direction the enemy is attacking.
For that usually a large room and a potent surround sound system is required, so there are surround sound headsets that should do the job just as well.
One of them we want to present in this test is the CM Storm Sirus True 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset.
