If we had a revolution for every surround sound headphone that promises us one, we’d all be so directionally aware we wouldn’t know what do with ourselves. Today’s “revolutionary” headphones come to us from Turtle Beach, who promises to turn the very waveform on its head with this new Ear Force AK-R8 “True Surround Sound” headset. Lucky for Turtle Beach, it has indeed packed a couple of notable features into the AK-R8, including a whoppin’ eight speakers, dual mics to monitor outside sounds, and a USB audio interface / sound card that includes a 10 band EQ and positioning abilities to (theoretically) get that big room system feel without all the calls from the neighbors. The AK-R8 also includes a removable boom microphone for chatting up your frag buddies, is Windows only, includes an optical S/PDIF adapter for tapping into your sound system, and should be retailing now for about $150.
