I prefer surround sound to headphones for gaming and I have a really nice 7.1 system in my office.
The problem is I can rarely use it.
1. I almost never watch TV/Movies in here
2. I don't always want to let everyone know I'm gaming with speakers
3. A lot of games don't have good surround sound support. By a lot, I mean a few.
4. The whole HDMI audio connection is always a hassle.
5. I don't want my little kids hearing the discord conversation in games.
For me, the best surround sound games are Overwatch and Guild Wars 2 (and Battlefield, but I don't love the last two versions) but I don't play them that much.
I don't really prefer headphones, but I find myself using them more and more.
I'm wondering if it's time to take it down, sell off the parts and roll the cash into a pair of LS50s (for music mostly)
Current speakers:
KEF Q100 L/R
KEF Q200c C
JBL Arena B15 (side and rear surrounds)
Even though it's hard to use, there just isn't anything quite like hearing things clearly in your surround channels - it really puts you in the game...
