Is surround headphone worth it?
Looking for a new headset since the old one was broken. Wonder how good surrounded sound headphone is in this game when compare to stereo headphone + virtual surround sound(like Window Sonic).
Also how much advantage this give when it comes to tracking as killer.

It's really a matter of preference. Survivor footstep sounds are in a pretty good spot right now. Occlusion not so much. And there's a bit of lag on directional audio if your character is also moving. Spatial sound can hurt you in as many ways at it helps depending on the map. Keep in mind that the audio mix and EQ can be very scattershot from map to map. Midwich is cranked up to earbleed decibels for ambient noise but footstep attenuation is really reduced for some reason. Everything is muffled on Autohaven. New MacMillan is fantastic across the board for footsteps, survivor audio, grass sounds, etc. This is all a long way of saying I have different audio preferences for different maps. If I have a tournament game on Autohaven and I'm playing Spirit, I'm probably going to turn on bass boost and turn on the equalizer so footsteps stick out. For MacMillan, I'm just using my trusty Sennheiser headphones as they are and turning the regular volume up.
