Psyko makes overpriced trash that sounds like crap. Don't buy their hype.

I disagree. My headset is well-made and provides unequalled sound directionality. It does not sound very good, that's true, and mostly I get heard in the other room when playing.

But trash? No.

human ears are way more complicated than a mic or speaker. mics and speakers are rather directional in the way they're made... whereas the human ear i guess you could say is unidirectional, or at least can hear things from a much wider angle. also, in real world environments, sounds are originated from multiple locations, not just 2 locations aimed right at your ear. this is where the idea for multiple speakers comes into play. play a youtube video of a car passing to your left or right. now go out to the street and listen to a car pass you... notice any difference?

2 speakers can do surround just that today they make them cheaper and give you a bunch of cheaper speakers to compensate.

I've had a few pairs of speakers that can do it. Although the sitting area is limited normally but should not pose a issue with higher quality drivers.

20Hz - 20,000 Hz is complete crap as good sound is not all about sound it's all so about feel.

Again, bring on the binaural (requires headphones).
