    Have had my SteelSound 4H headphones for about a week now, and I'm trying to find some good games that utilize them the most. COD4 is A M A Z I N G when a game goes into sudden death, however I find that most games with all the in game music, sound effects, shots, etc. don't really standout with the headphones, so list off so games that made you go WOW! when you used your (nice) headphones!

    Yeah like Chaz said,

    I played Crysis on Surround sounds and i was blown away. Every little intricate sound effect, even the most mimsical sounds come to life on 5.1 headsets.

    You like dynamic sound? Left 4 Dead is freakin crazy with headphone on max, lights off.

    Especially when you get near the witch, the crying gets insane.

    Checkout F.E.A.R. as well as it's (freakier, in my opinion) expansion pack, F.E.A.R. Extraction Point. You'll be in for a scare if you use that kind of headphone setup. Waiting for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin coming out next Feb.

    The original Condemned is the scariest game I've ever played. It's made by Monolith, the guys behind F.E.A.R. It'll give your ears (and eyes) quite a ride...
