. Holy schnikees! I should have done this long long ago, but I've had a real aversion to headsets ever since my four-year stint in the USAF when I wore them all the time while doing my job. However, earlier this week, I took the plunge and ordered a pair of the Logitech G430 Surround Sound. They arrived in this morning's mail and I've just hooked them up and loaded the software, and wow...just wow! Sounds coming from everywhere, loud ones, soft ones, and everything in between. They put me into the cockpit even deeper than I was before. Absolutely amazing, WOFF is almost like a whole new sim with these ... almost. .

Lou, I’ve recently made similar discovery, except I unplugged my headphones from the on-board socket and purchased a dedicated SoundBlaster sound card. OMG! What a difference! There were sounds I’ve not heard before. Engines sound like engines. Guns sound like they’re being fired and not bottles of Champagne being opened. If you are using your motherboard chipset to connect your headphones, do yourself a favour and don’t. Get a good sound card and treat your ears to an orgy. You’ll not regret it.

+1 on all that. Headset for me is indispensable. Great sound and keeps out the surrounding audio disturbances!! That does not extend to spousal interruptions! Lord knows I could not allow that!!

I live in an apartment, so not disturbing the neighbors is vital. Right now I'm using a cheap pair of Sades 'phones and mic. I hate to say it but the sound is terrific - 7.1 and the whole shebang. No complaints at all.
Some people are born stupid. I've had to work hard my whole life to get this way. I'm proud of the job I've done

SET UP HELP REQUESTED: I bought some Logitech G430 surround sound. I have the software downloaded and it detects the device, the surround sound is turned on, but I only get sound from the left headphone, all sound, whether it is supposed to be from the right, front, rear etc, it all comes out of the left speaker only. In the windows 10 devices it is selected as default device and everything seems to be fine until I get to the spatial sound setting, this is permanently off, with no other option and the box for Turn On 7.1 virtual surround sound is greyed out. I think this is the obstacle but cannot find a way around it. Any of you Experten have any advice?

Check that stereo is enabled and take a look through the settings in your Logitech gaming app.

Sorry to go off topic but, is anyone else getting a URL to Amazon appearing on the word " Logitech " here? I know my machine is free of Malware so it's kind of weird.
