5-channel headphones are dumb because you can already render things in 3d that sound almost perfect on 2-channels
But I got them for like 4.99 on ebay and thought they were worth a try ( back before I knew shit about sound. (by the way, DON'T. They hiss, they buzz, there is a high-pitched "winding up-winding down" noise when it plays a sharper sound from silence making me believe that there is audio lag"
