Turtle Beach P11 + DSS 7.1 Channel Dolby Surround Sound Processor - £49.99 @ Amazon
I was planning to order a pair of P11s and was searching around a bit when I came across this bundle on Amazon.
The cheapest I can find the headset on its own is £35, which makes the DSS processor £15.
I've tried searching with great difficulty (not least because it has been discontinued) to see how much the sound processor is worth, but I was only able to find "used" ones on eBay for £40+ and this exact bundle for £70+. The newer sound processor, the DSS2, is going for £60+.
Everything about this screams deal to me, hence why I am posting this. I'm not familiar with the gaming headset market however, so I might be wrong.
I am curious to see how this will be voted and will use this to decide whether to buy the bundle or just the headset on its own. Please give me some pointers in the comments if you can do. ;)
Thanks in advance.
PS3 ONLY

The P11 headset is PS3/PC only but the DSS processor works with ANY stereo headset.

As I've said in my first post, I'm a noob at gaming headsets (this will be my first one) so I can't really say from my personal experience (yet). From what I've read though, the people who were impressed with the headset originally were surprised at the noticeable jump in quality once they added the DSS.
In technical terms, stereo only has 2 directions, left and right. 7.1 surround sound has 7 directions, so I'd imagine you'd be able to tell which direction sounds are coming from much easier and is probably more immersive overall.
Also I'd be inclined to think that something originally costing £60+ would have quite a big effect on the experience you get overall.
EDIT: Also I forgot, it has a 3.5mm jack and is supplied with a 3.5mm-3.5mm cable so you could plug in your iPod and listen to your own music while gaming! (I think)

Amazon Price History of this product
Only recommend this if it is for PC usage. The console version is still above £70.00 so the turtle beach ones are a better deal at the moment for console users
Thank You
The dss can always be flogged on the bay if you don't like it?
No, it's just Amazon. They have to put every item in one category, but the DSS can work on the XBOX 360, PS3, and PC (although you'll get better sound quality if your sound card has TOSlink out).
True, but if you want to spend the extra money or if you're an audiophile, you'll prefer the Mixamp.
*BUT* This deal is amazing if you want a multi-platform headset or virtual 7.1, or even if you just own a turtle beach headset already; You can have the P11's (which are comfortable and have good build quality) as a backup
