The analog ones with multiple speakers seem to work better.

But all the ones I've seen are either cheap build quality, have poor sound quality, bad comfort, or all three. Plus I prefer an open rather than a closed design.
True Surround is pretty rare. The only real options seem to be the Tiamat 7.1 (garbage build, mic, and bass) or the Asus Strix 7.1 (not too comfortable).

I'll probably get the Strix tbh. I'm really high on the concept of using HDMI to drive audio over USB. It also means it's using NVIDIAs excellent Audio Decoder as an output, rather than a purecode routed through a USB brick.
