Yes it does apart from the microphones limitations it is a very nice headset.

It does have 7.1 surround sound. For listening music I would get headphones without a microphone. This headset is more tuned for gaming it seems.

Doesnt have 7.1, but it has good sound quality. I'm not an audiophile, but it sounds good to me.

What exactly do you mean that a 7.1 system will never be used? I was planning on getting a 7.1 and putting 4 speakers in the living room with the TV and two in the adjoining kitchen area. No? Do you still get surround sound with 7.1 and are the Onkyo speakers really that bad? I was looking at either the 7200 or 6200.

As long as you have a good knowledge of computers I would suggest the Asus Xonar STX. The sound is amazing, but it comes with it own problems. The drivers are bad and in order to set mine up I had to install through safe mode and get on my wife's computer to download some files. Make sure you have a program like Win Rar if you download off the asus website. If you are prepared then it will be a lot easier to install. I don't know if it was just an abnormality, but when I got mine it was missing a screw that holds the back plate to the circuit board.

I use a 7.1 system. Center speaker is an old sony that was leftover from one of those DVD/7.1 combo jobs.

Yes, but you will need two additional satellite speakers to get 7.1 surround. This system is 5.1.

It does provide a virtual surround, depending on which input you are utilizing. It obviously falls short of a "true" 5.1 surround experience but I am personally impressed with the virtual.

Depends on what you are doing....for music playback, a center channel won't do much. For surround sound, such as movies, a center channel is needed to properly produce dialogue in the movie or other media. If the DX675 is 5.1 surround or better, you will benefit.

It is not natively 7.1 no, but, I use the software at the "Razerzone" web site under products and software called "Surround" to give just about any headset 7.1 surround sound. Works great with this one too!

If your computer allows for 7.1 surround, this is the way to go, but if you don't have the proper connections it won't do you any good.

If you have a 7.1 surround sound card, then it provides an amazing sound quality. Very powerful drivers and they deliver excellent sound. Best I've ever used.

The surround sound is good, I use it playing Battlefield 4 and I can tell where everything is coming from. *disclaimer * I am no audiophile :-)

Andrew:>Here's the problem: the stupid Pioneer certainly has 7.1 OUTPUTS to the 7 speakers and the sub, but the INPUTS are only 5.1You can still use the 7.1 outputs to the 5.1 inputs; just don't use surround back left and surround back right.

Basic answer - No. I believe this unit is designed to function just with its own 2 speakers in "stereo" mode. There is no mention of surround sound such as 5.1 or 7.1 that I could find. You might try a "parallel" hook-up with the amp outputs going to both the Yamaha speakers and the appropriate left or right channels of your wall mount speakers - BUT - be careful to verify that the combined loads / impedances, etc are ok (see specs section of Yamaha owners manual & specs for your wall speakers) or you might damage the amps and all the speakers involved. Also this would only give you more stereo output with all the speakers, not 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. Try your Yamaha with just its own speakers and turn up the volume a little - this might work ok for you without the wall speakers. Regards, John

Just cut and paste. It has no capabilities to do surround sound. All it has is a analog left and right RCA input jacks. Go to Skullcandy's website and check the spec.'s out yourself.

The Asus Xonar class are great products. You should have no problem installing this as there are no drivers needed in Win 7 and Win 8/8.1. The sound from that card is rich and beautiful.
