you none of this sort of phony 3D positional algorithm stuff with two speakers although there's something to be said for that approach as well but Logitech has gone ahead and implemented multiple speakers to give you that true positional sound now I'm going to preface this with telling you guys that this approach is not ideal for music I'll tell you that right now these are not going to be the best music headphones in the world they're not meant to be they're part of Logitech G Series I mean have you seen a Logitech G Series keyboard that's ideal for music huh so this is a gaming product
