7.1 headsets in siege

[RockstA]

I know it just a gimmick and its just for marketing...but does it really gives any disadvantage because siege is meant for stereo..is anyone using any 7.1 surround headset and having any problem to identify sound direction?
I want to buy gamdias hephaestus 2 7.1 surround one..but I am just confused about this problem...
THANKS IN ADVANCE

I have 7.1 surround headset and it really helps early game if the enemies are rapelling you can tell where they are but in a gunfight you still can't tell if someone is coming behind you...

+ if the enemies are pros they will not make any sounds making it really hard to say where they are

I had a headset with Surround sound toggle and it was completely useless. I never used it in any game, the sound loses all clarity and you get no tactical difference at all compared to stereo

Didnt gubisoft broke the sound propagation like since y1s3 and never did fix it.

Personally, a $100 2.0 headset that produce clear audio output is as good enough.

End of the day you will on pay attention to footsteps

nope, using a logitech g430 here and surround sound on this game is pretty insignificant

Yeah I have surround sound and it kiiiiinda works, sometimes it doesn't though. But I've helped my teammates figure out direction when I'm dead.

I use trust gxt 363 7.1 headphones. Not a much of a difference but if everyone stops and you stay at 1v1 you will notice the wine bottle sound from next door that your enemy touches. It kinda works.

anything will work tbh. Even cheap 5eur buds as long as they're loud enough and stereo

Using 7.1 headset, noticed that the sound sometimes seem to be faulty.

Sometimes sound that is clearly to your right, is actually to your left.
Same goes for front and back.

Thats the problem

The game does not allow it like it happens on other FPS games. Since the sound source already trvels through the rooms but not between walls. So ıt has i should say it has %5 effect on it. Because a 7.1 headphone has much more sound sorces like upper right, lower left etc. It will give you advantage. But on this game, you cant get exact location of your opponent from long distances. So ıf you are going to buy that just for this game, don't.
