I bought my px21 few days ago and I have a hard time soundwhoring and I hear footsteps in SND but i don't where are they coming from, my questions are:
What should I do with the bass, expander and game volume?
Sitrep pro or Dead Silence Pro?
Do you recommend any other better headest within the same price range as this headphones or did I make a good choice and bought this headset:confused:

A quick Google search confirmed what I suspected-
Those aren't surround sound headphones. They're stereo.
All they'll do is let you differentiate whether an enemy is on your left or right.

Buy a surround sound stereo. Having 8 speakers placed in a circle around you works just as good as buying headphones that cost the same price.

And you can actually tell when someone's behind, to the side, or in front of you.

A surround sound system is definitely more expensive than headphones. And really, you can get high-quality sound from a good pair of surround sound headphones for about the same as a cheap, low-quality surround sound system.

Also, not everyone can have surround sound depending on where they live, like an apartment or dorm.

Plus, a surround system doesn't come with a mic. Also, having a headset means you can play the game loud without waking people up (until you rage at some bullshit) and, if you're needing a headset, chances are you're going to be spending a fair bit of time on CoD/whatever FPS game in a party with your mates. Your mates want to hear you talk, not a big sound system blaring away your game's sound half a second after it already happens on their screen.
