The 7.1 surround sound feature on this headset is primarily designed for PC use, utilizing DTS Headphone:X 2.0 technology, which requires specific software support available only on Windows. When used with the PS5, the headset will function as a standard stereo headset, as the PS5 does not support the same level of surround sound configuration as a PC with the necessary software. To achieve surround sound on the PS5, you would need to configure the console's audio settings to simulate surround sound, but this would not utilize the headset's full 7.1 capabilities.
