If you thought 5.1-channel surround headphones was going overboard, look what folks at Razer have done!

Presenting, Razer Megalodon -- a 7.1-channel surround USB headset which come with special control pad. This beauty (or beast, depending on which side of the divide you stand), comes with Megalodon s maelstrom audio processor and has HRTF (head-related transfer function) which supposedly enriches the surround sound experience. The kit includes a remote control, which has buttons to switch from standard 2.0 stereo mode to 7.1 mode. And yes, its plug and play.

At $149.99, this is strictly for those who cannot afford a full-blown 7.1 set up but would still like to have a share of the fun. Expect them in Q4 this year.
