A few months ago I, sucker that I am, picked up another pair of “gaming” headphones. This particular pair is from Razer, the same company that makes all the gaming mice and my personal favorite pair of earbuds (m100.) I was pretty impressed with the Barracuda HP-1 and their purported 5.1 surround sound… although my use has been practically nill. I haven’t even had all of the wires plugged in yet.
What I did notice though, was the clean sound and clear distinction between the rear and center channels. (Those particular channels only because those are the only ones that I plugged in.) I thought that the odd DVI-style connector was a bit odd, but chalked that up to a failed entry into the sound card market.
Then I found the Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card at either Best Buy or CompUSA. For just under $200! Ack!
And today, w00t! has a new one for less than $70. New! Anyone want to lend me some money? Donate? I’ll do odd jobs! Wanna buy a used hat? Ummmmm, please!?
