We are having problems installing the driver in our testbed. Could be a driver issue or a conflict with the components in our system.

We will update the review as soon as we settle this issue.

Thanks!

As I play games, most of the time, with 5.1 speakers, I find myself using headphones only for music. And for music, these are not the ones. Sorry. I'm currently using BeyerDynamic DTX700 which are absolutely amazing and cost about 3rd the price of the Stell Sound 5H-USB.

I think the most ideal audio solution would be to have a 5.1 sound system. Using a pair of headphones isn't as comfortable or as accurate as directional info is concerned, as a 5.1 speaker system. But if space is a problem, headphones are the only way to go.

Is the USB version not working for anyone else? I purchased the USB version expecting it to be better and all I found is that the USB version is NOT compatible with my system (Windows XP Pro SP2). Funny... 30 dollars more and I'm still using the regular version...

It's not working for me. I'm still trying to get the driver to install.
