The Bottom Line	The Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA two-way headset delivers the most convincing surround-sound experience you can get from headphones.	If you can get past its tedious setup, the AX Pro 5.1 Gaming Headset performs extremely well and is compatible with pretty much every gaming PC and game console except the Wii.	The Sennheiser PC160 two-way headset performs equally well with games and music, and its mic sounds exceptionally clean.	The two-way Logitech Precision PC Gaming Headset delivers passable performance for a low price.	Serious online gamers will dig the functionality and sound quality of Altec Lansing's AHS602 two-way headset, but it's overkill for more-pedestrian applications.
