are these medusa headphones available only online? I wouldn't mind going to
a store and trying these out. is the surround sound audio good? What I'm
hesitant about isn't purchasing the headphones, but the fact that they may
not work as expected. also are these headphones wireless? and if not, is the
cable durable? whenever I buy headphones, the cables always fail after a
while. is the design good? by that I mean how tough are the headphones? are
they comfortable? I know I have lots of questions, but I wanna be sure that
if I do buy them, that it's something I'll enjoy and that'll last me a long
time.

Subject: [Audyssey] Surround Sound Headphones was a thought about MOTA
Hi Che,
Yes, that is always the major problem with software development. It is
hard to expect our customers to shell out $120 for a really great set of
headphones like the Medusa5.1 surround sound headphones. Personally, I
don't mind the $120 price tag as I felt they were well worth every single
penny I spent for them. Another potential customer might not exactly feel
that way.
For us 3d audio, full 5.1 surround sound, is the holy grail of audio based
gaming. This is our equal to the 3d graphics that our sighted peers look
for. Some of those main stream games require at least a $300 high quality
graphics card to get the best vidio quality out of there PC games. For us
a 5.1 surround sound card and 5.1 surround sound headphones is about the
same thing. Only problem is can or will our customers pay for it?
It is hard enough to get sales for a game that costs $30 to $35 which is
priced well below the average for sighted mainstream games. Requiring a
$120 pare of headphones, and a high quality sound card might hurt those
sales even further. Then again, as I said earlier what we see as change to
day could be the standards of tomorrow. It is not uncommon these days to
buy a computer and already have a 5.1 compatible sound card already built
into the system.

yes, there is no doubt that headphones for a game in stereo allows for
the best experience, unless you are into getting bone rattling bass out
of your games.
I considered doing true surround sound for rail racer, but in asking
around it seemed very few gamers out there have dolby 5.1 setups, and
even fewer surround headphones. I have a set of medusa surround
headphones, and for the main stream games it works with, it is awesome,
but I doubt many accessible gamers will be willing to shell out $120 for
a set of headphones just for a gee whiz factor.
Later,
che
