Sennheiser headphone/headset sounds pretty good. (Helmet idea for sound-isolation, getting rid of external sounds)

Hello,

Since a couple of days now my surround sound set (gigaworks s750)
is DEAD and thus I have been using my Sennheiser Headphone/Headset
to play games with and to listen to music and I like to share with
you some of my experiences with it/so far:

1. I have noticed some sounds in Company of Heroe's Tales of Valor
which I didn't really notice that much or at all with the surround
sound set. For example soldiers talking to each other... (They do
so very quietly and probably requires zooming into them... but
still)... I have noticed these kinds of weaker sounds much better
on the headphone then on the surround sound set... so that's
something I kinda like about the headphone... it makes all weaker
sounds come out a bit better. I am not sure why that is... One
reason could be that the back speakers were maybe on a slightly
lower volume or maybe because they are farther away...

No... It's because small sounds naturally come through small
speakers better.
