Does anybody perhaps know if these things (http://www.geniusnet.com.tw/product/product-1.asp?pdtno=498) are any good? I can't find a review of them anywhere, and I am seriously considering getting something like this.

I don't know about those, but I have Gainward 5.1 headphones. They do positional audio really well, but 2D sounds seem to be barely hearable. It seems one channel always dominates the other.

Maybe mine just suck, but they're still better than two channel headphones.

I think I just going to buy a 5.1 set of speaks, but I have no idea where I will put the rear speakers or the woofer.

Never used Genius or Gainward, but stay the hell away from Kinyo's 5.1 phones. Damn things hissed constantly and gave horrible feedback noises.

Not having been blessed with having 5.1 ears, I stick to stereo headphones.
