Probably, but while I don't know the brand of those I've got, I actually
bought them in the electronic audio department of a large local hardware
store - mica.
To find something like this here, your best bet is to enquire at somewhere
like indelible corruption/incredible connection, or hifi corporation, or
makro since they generally have good quality, and a largeish range if a
large enough branch.
There are also some other, rather audio/visual shops out there, but not
everywhere, etc.

Hi Tom.
funny enough that sounds like the same setup I have in my flat.
I will say though, despite having an extremely good set of logitech
speakers
which my very hifi orientated friend and I picked out as the best choice
available, and which are wonderful for music and films, stil, if I play a
game like tank commander, shades or even pinball xtreme I prefer
headphones.
My logitech speakers are extremely good, they cost me about 230 pounds or
roughly 320 dollars in 2006.
However, for immediacy of placing sounds I just much prefer to have the
spacial quality of a pair of headphones.
Admittedly, my headphones are a fantastic set of sanheisars which cost me
130 pounds, or roughly 200 dollars (though they're well worth it), so even
compared to my logietch speakers the sound quality isn't a come down.
My point however, is that even if a game required 3D sound and the use of
5
speakers, I would stil by choice use headphones.
As in fact I have said in game reviews, for some reason I just cannot get
the same accuracy of sound positioning when playing on speakers as I can
with headphones.
this is actually why i'd prefer things not to require 3D sound even though
I
have the facility for it.
That and of course when I'm on my laptop using my sanheisar ear buds
(which
are not quite as good as my headphones, but far more portable), I have no
facility for speakers at all, yet audio games are a great thing to have on
my laptop (I've just today got a new laptop and am at the moment updating
all my games to run on it, luckily it stil uses xp sinse it was bought six
months ago by my brother but not used).
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
