My gamer headphones are very cheap, my hearing not so good and I can easily tell direction from the sounds L4D 2 Zombies make. Simple to frag them when I can hear them coming and pay attention..

Thanks for the reply Fred; yeah headphones get into a whole 'nother realm of
crazy (like my friend who spent $5k on his headphone listening "system" b/c
he didn't have the place or money to build a proper listening room and deck
it out with the speakers he would want for that! :P), but I also like having
5.1 for games and stuff...

What have other folks out there done for computer speaker systems?  Just
bought the rather expensive Logitechs or just eschewn the whole 5.1 category
and gone 2 or 2.1 like PC Mag was saying (which I still find hard to
believe! :P)?

RIP on the sub

FWIW I use headphones for games and basically hardly ever use the speakers.
Mine are old, think 4.1 even.>:-o Doing that 2 channel ought to be fine.
Headphone are great, sound is fantastic and doesn't bother the family 8-) (
if sleeping or watching TV )

Mine are USB. (Plantronics) Would not mind going wireless.

In the meantime I got a pair of the M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 speakers on
sale at Amazon for $99-which seems like a great deal.  They sound awesome
but they're only 2-channels and I'm not sure I don't want to get 5.1 for
gaming and stuff.so just wondering what thoughts people might have as to
how
to solve my dilemma (possibly come up with a configuration that uses the 5
speakers I have now that're still good with my computer)?
