Join the Ear Force! Games on PC are getting better and better, especially when used with PCIe based game graphic cards. PC audio delivers home-theater surround sound.
The AK-R8 is a perfectly tuned, portable surround sound system for serious gamers, combining professional-grade, 8-speaker, dual sub-woofer headphones with a multi-amplifier USB audio interface enhanced with digital signal processing. By designing the headphones and USB interface as an integrated system, the Ear Force AK-R8 delivers the comfort and isolation of headphones with the full impact and positional accuracy of true, multi-speaker surround sound. While headphones and sound cards have traditionally been considered separate items, the Ear Force AK-R8 multi-speaker headphones and USB interface are designed to work as an integrated system to enhance the unique surround sound capabilities of the headphones. To custom-tailor the surround sound experience, users can program the sound field reproduced by the headphones and save the settings as presets. For example, the system provides five independent 10-band equalizers for the two front, two surround and center speakers, allowing individual customization of the frequency response. In addition, separately adjustable room-environment settings for the front and surround channels provide variable depth to the surround sound field. As an added bonus, built-in stereo microphones allow monitoring of room sounds while wearing the headphones. Dual sub-woofers for deep vibrating bass Professional grade, durable construction Super comfortable ear cup and headband design 10 band, 6-channel EQ Ambience effects Positional and removable boom microphone Built-in stereo microphones The USB audio interface, which drives the multi-channel headphones, also features separate 5.1 or 7.1 analog and digital outputs. In addition to the headphones and the USB interface, the AK-R8 includes a USB cable, an opt

windows display glitch.......2007-11-19
I am a PC gamer how enjoys first-person-shooters and coordinating with my friends online with a microphone. I also like subwoofers and surround sound, and they add to PC gaming. I use a laptop for PC gaming, and for audio it only has a headphone and microphone jack. I also like voice activation for using the microphone, which would make headphones ideal. All of this together is why I was really turned on to usb surround sound headsets like the AKR8. Unfortunately, there are no stores nearby that have surround sound usb headsets that I can try, so I was limited to reading online reviews in deciding which headphones to buy.
I liked the reviews for the AKR8, and additional features. So I ordered these through amazon. When the headphones arrived, I found that they work well with music and movies, but imagine my horror when I heard all this static and crackle and crap when trying the headphones out for the first time with my favorite games BattleField 2 and Half Life 2. I was so dissapointed, I had not seen this problem mentioned in any of the reviews. However, it turns out that there is a work around. By reading the turtle beach support AKR8 website, they say to try changing the display properties. By going to display properties, advanced, troubleshoot, there is a slider bar labeled "hardware acceleration". After the game has started, if I go back out to the display properties and move the slider bar down a click or two, I can go back to the game and the static and crackle is gone. I don't have to change video or audio settings in the game itself, just in windows. My laptop runs Windows XP, has a 2 ghz dual core, 2 gb ram, and nvidia geforce go 7900 GS. It is annoying that everytime I want to play the game, I have to start the game, go to the display properties, and then back to the game, but once I do, I get great sounding surround sound, and lots of great subwoofer bass. I could use a little more subwoofer, but I don't know if that is possible with any pair of headphones. Mic seems to work fine. Four stars for the awesome sound, with a star knocked off for difficulty of set-up.
Be sure to know the return policy of the place you buy these from. I am going to keep these AKR8 headphones, yet it may not have been possible to return these headphones to Amazon if I had not found a solution to the glitch. If you buy from Turtle Beach directly, they promise a 30 day money back guarantee. There is no guarantee if not bought from turtle beach directly

Good drive, but Amazon.com information incorrect..........2005-05-05
The drive performs very admirably. Very quite and quite fast. However, the main problem I have is that when you click the "technical details" here on the amazon.com web site, they have incorrect information which made the purchase less desirable.
1. Amazon.com claims the drive is a 10,000 rpm drive. It isn't, it is 7200rpm.
2. They also claim that there is a 5 year warranty. There is definitely NOT a 5 year warranty. This RETAIL drive kit comes with a minimal 1 year warranty. Not getting the extra 4 years of warranty definitely makes this drive much less desireable compared to OEM packaging.
You are better off going to newegg.com and buying their OEM version of this drive. The OEM version comes with a 3 year warranty and it is only about $95 including shipping.
The only redeeming feature about this drive kit that it includes WD's SATA SecureConnect connector. It is definitely much more stable than the standard SATA connector (which do work). Newegg.com also sells these for $10 (though they are currently out of stock).
