Wish it would support a couple more for when I have company over we all would be able to hear and not have to worry about having a surround system that disturbs the neighbors.

I used it in games that should have nice surround sound (like the new Tomb Raider) but it didn't seem to make much difference

The surround sound simulation works surprisingly well

There is a surround (High and low) setting as well as a bass boost

Outstanding surround sound quality and isolation

Regarding the surround modes and bass boost; I partially agree with the reviewers who say these are useless features

You can adjust the surround sound effect and the bass boost from the base, or on the right hand earpiece.

I don't use the surround, but whatever, someone might like it, the option is there.6

There is an enhanced bass feature, as well as simulated surround sound (low and high settings)

There is a bass boost switch as well as surround sound option on the base and the headphones.

Vary good sound, with great surround sound and deep bass.

Amazing sound production true surround sound

Good surround effect.

Bass is very powerful and can be deactivated, as well as the surround sound

I enjoy the enhanced bass and the virtual surround.

Outstanding surround sound quality and isolation

For others with hearing problems, turning off the surround sound/bass boost features at times gives me more distinguishable dialogue; so being able to change modes may be a useful alternative for most people

Would be nice to see Sennheiser license Dolby, but this is a very nice surround mode

Unlike the RS 175 RF, the Sony model had true surround sound decoding and used psychological acoustics to create a surprisingly realistic surround sound experience

For voice, they are superb and the surround function works very well.

Bass is great for music or movies as well as the surround sound effects

This Sennheiser RS 175 RF has impressive surround sound and bass

Both headsets have near flawless surround sound and the bass is amazing.

great surround

I wanted these for gaming and movies, so virtual surround was important; that's why I choose these over the more expensive 185

I like the ability to control the volume, surround mode, and bass-boost all right from the headset

The sound quality is awesome —give or take the little surround sound features and the bass boost that are a little gimmicky

Awesome surround sound in headphones!

I have to feel around a bit for the volume buttons to get it right and sometimes turn on the surround sound or bass boost by mistake, but don't do it as much now that I've gotten used to them

Sound is very clear and virtual surround works well
