Obviously not going to be the best surround sound PC headset in the world but £13 isn't bad at all and the Amazon reviews for this product are generally excellent.

Full Description
For a richer gaming experience, this comfortable and lightweight headset features an advanced 7.1 virtual surround sound engine. You can also use it as stand-alone headphones thanks to the removable microphone.
Normally, it's only possible to provide 360-degree surround sound by adding more than one drive in each earcup - but this Akuma headset uses digital signal processing to achieve this feat.
Ergonomically designed with comfort in mind, this wired headset has soft comfortable cushioning and pleather earcups.
It's also relatively lightweight and features controls for game volume, microphone mute switch and power switch. The removable microphone has an adjustable serrated and flexible hard rubber design for optimum positioning and for use as stand-alone headphones.
With fully customisable software included, you can fine tune your audio experience. You can fully customise the room size, virtual speaker distance and positioning to your preferences. Effects such as environment room effects and voice filters for your microphone, you can have fun as well.
This headset is for PCs and is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and XP.

Bought them from SVP last week. For the money they are ok!

Just OK? I was considering a pair for myself but I can't quite decide between this pair and another pair at a similar price point.

I thought they were really good. Unfortunately the microphone stopped working for me in 2 weeks so I returned it back to 7day shop. Not sure whether it was just a one-off but I needed something more reliable.

They were worth the money - but dont expect to be blown away.
Have not used the mic yet so cant comment on that tbh.

they should not be able to advertise headphones as 7.1 its ridiculous

Why? They emulate surround sound. If they can advertise soundbars as 7.1 then there is no reason why they can't do the same for headphones.

Yeah, the 7.1 is emulated though software (so they say). Very good quality for the money, highly recommended. TheShadowWalker is correct though, there has been a few reviews on Amazon saying the same.

Doesn't mean anything, if it's not 7.1 (7 actual speakers) then it's not. They can 'claim' it's anything by calling it virtual, 20.1 maybe? It's a load of rubbish for advertising. Same goes for sound bars, they are 1.1 at best. If they sound good then great, these for example look good for money and comments suggest they are, but there still not 7.1, virtual or otherwise.
