I'm debating whether to get a pair of audio technica m20x which if you don't know are really nice standard headphones. Or get a gaming headset(Logitech G430) I have 7.1 virtual surrounded sound support for my sound interface on my mobo(motherboard) I believe it's Reltek HD. But the G430's has its own Dolby 7.1 surrounded sound software. Does anyone know if standard stereo headphones will be able to use that 7.1 virtual surrounded sound from my Audio interface for accurate game sounds(footsteps).
 
Solution
G430 sounds like sh*t compared to decent stereo headphones e.g. ATH-M20, especially for music.
You should choose either pure stereo or real surround headphones to get really good headphones, for best experience.

G430 is also only stereo headphone with simulated surround (simulated in the USB soundcard)...but this is just a bad headphones to have
It is better to pick ATH-M20 then use a software simulation for the surround effect.
