Do you need surround sound for CS:GO?
Best answer

Not necessarily, but it helps a lot. Surround sound can give you an edge by letting you hear footsteps, reloads, and defuses from a distance, making it easier to pinpoint enemy locations. Think of it as your ears having ESP. That being said, plenty of top players just use stereo headsets and still demolish the competition. It's more about how you use what you hear than what you hear it with.

Nah, surround sound is just a gimmick in CS:GO. Save your money.

Honestly, stereo is fine. I've been playing CS:GO for years with just a decent pair of stereo headphones and I do just as well as my mates who dropped tons of cash on fancy surround sound setups. It's all about skill, not your gear.

Absolutely! CS:GO is all about situational awareness, and having surround sound is like having eyes on the back of your head. Can't count the number of times I've clutched a round because I heard someone sneaking up on me. It's a game-changer, literally.
