Lol ok found out I have been wearing my headset the wrong way round over over a year! I tried wearing them the right way round the other day and just cant cause its like i hear things, think theyre somewhere but theyre in the opposite direction, cant believe ive been wearin em the wrong way round for all this time but imo headsets are shaped wierd. Has anyone else done this? :D

Looks like ill be wearing them wrong way round for the rest of my gaming life :P

I was thinking the same thing, they should make her play in a miniskirt and a lowcut top.

Incorrect. Jap chicks are inherently ugly. The only attractive chicks on this Earth are of United States/Canadian/Scandinavian/German (basically western europe, which is somewhat the same thing as American) descent.
If you disagree, then you're wrong and must concede defeat before the monkey viper steals your skull.

same 4 me : > i can play with em the right way now though, because i've practiced abit with it after i got hd600 and they suck to wear reversed, it's ok but i constantly have to remind myself i have to think opposite, so it's of course not optimal ^_^ wonder what cause it, maybe it's just what u are used to? maybe u need special spatial skills in order to comprehend it reversed? x)

it's like: rocket explodes on your right, sound comes from your left, aight?

wtf, how can it be possible you didn't figure out that something's wrong with your headset?! and how can it be possible you got used to this? i mean, IRL, when a car comes from the right, you think it comes from the left? or do you "switch" the directions IRL? wtfwtf

btw: same question to fox

lol has no affect on sounds IRL but i think its cause ive worn headsets wrong way round for as long as ai can remember cause theyre shaped funny and always thought i was wearing them the right way, as fox said its impossible to switch to normal as its so wierd.

I haven't read the thread but indeed you're correct. Gaming sounds are much, much different than true natural sounds and it's easy to get mixed up. I've done it before and it's strange switching back and forth. What's really backwards? It's relative.

I used mine around the wrong way when I started gaming for over a year ^_^

Though this was UT1 and really TBH made no difference what so ever when I changed it around. :D
