    "So, if you've not got the space for a 5.1 surround sound speaker set-up, like myself, and don't mind listening to your games and films using a headset or headphones, then I can definitely recommend the Turtle Beach Earforce DSS2 unit without hesitation. The effect is amazing…Once you've tried the DSS2 unit, you won't want to listen to ordinary stereo sound again!”
