USB 5.1 Headphones are extremely popular items now. Their onboard soundcards allow you to take surround sound anywhere, with your laptop or to a LAN with your desktop. You can even hook them up to your MP3 player or whatever other portable device you're carrying along that has a headphone jack. They've also got boom mics on them for your trash-talking rounds of Counter-Strike: Source and UT2K4. OKGear has released the OK800 set of 5.1 Channel Surround Sound USB Headphones. Our reigning champ, the LTB USB Pro 5.1 Headset, had nearly everything you could ask for; but they did have room for improvement. Lets see how the OK800 set tackles the 5.1 USB scene. | Product: | OKGear OK800 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Headset |  |
