Black Ops in the Round
The other day I finally connected my rear speakers in a 5.1 setup.
I then played Black Ops on my PS3 with Surround Sound
and it's amazing 
I love it.
It adds a whole new dimension to the game...quite literally.

Might be worth getting some 5.1 phones... not really helping me on black ops yet because I don't know the levels well, but there's a reason I'm usually top on special infected kills on L4D2 
The directional sound is a massive help.
I have some sharkoon x-tatic 5.1 and I know Chris has some Tritton 5.1 phones that are exactly the same but in different cases, and the great thing about them is you can plug speakers into the breakout box and use both speakers and phones together if you wish. With practice you'll be shooting people through walls without them even knowing you were there (hint: ghost and ninja
) - just watch for tk's.

i find just my stereo turtle peach's improve my gaming, for one you can hear foot steps that you just seem to miss when using TV sound, but the biggest improvment is blanking out the nagging from the misses 
best improvement for my fav game is in battlefield 1943, when the suckers are trying to AA gun me out the sky i can tell which end of the map to avoid or attack

I love my Turtle Beach headset. It's only the stereo X1, but the difference between that and the TV is amazing. I love hearing people running up behind me to stab me, then spinning around and loading a clip into them. The headset has saved me so many times when people are heading towards me round a corner.
It's a shame that Treyarch nurfed the sound in black ops. Trying to hear footsteps was a nightmare, and your own footsteps used to sounds like they came from someone else.
Treyarch say they reduced the sound levels to "stop sound whoring". Originally Ninja was a pointless perk as you couldn't hear the enemy footsteps anyway. It's not as bad now they've tweaked it a little, but it's no where near as good as MW2 was. Why reduce the sound because people have headsets and have an advantage maybe? They didn't reduce the graphics in case people had good quality large HD tv's.
I still laugh at the sound of the footsteps when running in black ops. Everynow and again it sounds like the character is skipping along instead of sprinting.

I get the distinct impression sometimes that some people are playing at their local cinema on the BIG screen
My son says his Turtle Beach X41 headphones make the world of difference but sadly they are nearing the end of their life (the mike has failed and would cost a packet to replace) and he's looking around to replace them.
