Did you know that if you use headphones to listen to music or to action in game that you are actually getting a live surround sound audio right into your head. I asked around a few people on the internet including some of my close friends, about half of them said they never really noticed it. I was actually surprised since some of them play the game Counter Strike with me.

Everything you hear in your computer through speakers is surround sound. If the speakers are right in front of you, you won’t be able to hear what’s happening behind the screen. You will be able to pick up noise from left and right but a set of head phones or surround sound speakers around your room can give you the feeling of actually being in the game itself or even the movie. If you didn’t know that already, you know now, you can add yourself to the list of the other 50%.
