The performance level of the normal sound is clear and best replicated for MP3s and DVDs and most gaming applications, the surround feature is great on – war, adventure, sci-fi movie or those that require special effects to be high lighted. The distinction is demonstrated when there is shooting, bombing, fighter planes flying around, where the bass response is bombarding and the full range of the sound activity and explosions happens all around.
