7.1 Vs Stereo Headphones For Gaming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been playing computer video games right after the invention of the wheel in every configuration possible in both video and audio. I went from a highfalutin 5.1 surround system to mutiple experiments with 2.1 systems.but nothing engaged me fully in the gaming until now. Set up was again very easy with the dongle connection to the computers USB, download the JBL Quantum app and you are at the starting gate. Click on the 7.1 channel set up and it will launch a video on how to configure the headphones with Windows.This is when the fun starts. Press test after configuration and you will hear the 7.1 surround test pattern swirling around your head.Very cool. It took a little while for my brain to adapt to the ambience that these headphone provide and doing so wirelessly! Footsteps, voices in various enviroments, shot gun blast, and explosions, drew me into the game.Soon the headphones disappered and the gaming expierence became more pronouced and involving. Even my old games that I played over a million times had a new lease on life. But wait theres more. Besides my music library in my computer, I also stream music. Now I can listen to music with these headphones without being tied down to the computer. In fact the distance from the computer was very very impressive. Did I like these? Absolutly killer for gaming and music! They have not left my head!

My son loves these headphones for his gaming and music.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for multiplayer gaming on my console and they work great. The stereo is quick to respond to any noise and thanks to the headphones, I'm able to tell which direction it came from much more clearly than just using my TV's speakers. The mic is also very easy to use and switch to mute when you don't need it.

I'm using the Shure SCM262 as a mixer for my home Stereo / PC / Gaming setup. It's solid, well-made, and does exactly what it says. Highly recommended.

I have purchased 3 sets of these now. I bought the first set for my son and his gaming computer in his dorm room. The stereo imaging is excellent. I have been using them for video editing. Love them.

Nicely done on the PRO VS EVO. The PRO actually does have a full 1TB available, VS the EVO's 960GB after formatting.

Very durable splitter, which I use for dual headphones with my Canon C100. Heavy duty cable quality and connectors. Yes it keeps the channels split. I have wasted money on numerous splitters that were sold as stereo and did not perform as stereo and always end up crapping out. The audio quality is the same for each input. Highly recommend.

Absolutely the best purchase I have made for headphones. No more pulling ear buds out to hear what others are saying. It is like being in a room with a stereo and speakers on a shelf. I can hear conversations and still enjoy my music!!

Use the headphones at my computer to listen to Pandora, Spotify, my iTunes library, YouTube, etc. With a little volume behind them, sounds are pretty clear, good stereo separation. Over-ear cups provide fairly good outside sound prevention. Comes with two jacks for mp3/computer and for stereo receiver. Coiled cord is handy. Headphones somewhat warm, but so far comfortable for a couple of hours at a time. Gave them 5 stars because they are a very good headphone for the money.

I use these headphones with my pc as well as my home stereo system. Great for everything at home: video editing, music, movies. They isolate yet leave space for sound reproduction, and they look great. Occasionally the head band rubs the top of my head wrong after hours of use, but I think this is more attributable to how I was wearing them initially, plus the fact that I have been keep my hair cropped short. Best pair of headphones I have ever owned.
