I've personally used it on the PS4 and hadn't had any issues with the surround sound. But the other thing a lot of people don't realize is that you can adjust the settings for the headset in the Logitech program you can download for it. This allows you to adjust the automatic shut-down for when the device detects it may not be in use, the light set-up, even if it uses the surround sound or not. I'd say go ahead and buy it, try the program and test out the headset. If it doesn't work just be sure to bring it back to the store before a week is out with the receipt. They're pretty good with returns if you explain the product didn't work the way you intended it to if you have trouble with the surround sound.
