Logitech 633: Dolby or DTS?

Solved
Naintendo -  
Hello, I hope I'm in the right place to ask this question and that someone will be able to provide me with an answer.

Here's my problem, I'm a big PC gamer and for that, I need a headset with a microphone. Since my old one has given up on me, I wanted to buy a new headset, but I’m tired of the cheap 15€ headsets from Carrefour, so I decided to go all out this time and I bought the Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum! Let's just say it's heavy artillery. However, as I'm not at all used to good headsets with amazing sound, I’m totally lost when it comes to its configuration :S The headset is 7.1, and to use the surround sound, it offers me either Dolby or DTS, and I have no idea which is better for my purpose... Furthermore, regarding DTS, it suggests several room names like "DTS 7.1", "First Person Shooter", and "Logitech signature audio". I have no idea what any of this means or how it changes anything, just like the super DTS stereo mode, where it offers me either "Super Stereo Front" or "Super Stereo Wide". I hope that more knowledgeable audio people will come across this and can help me set up my headset for the best sound possible, thank you in advance!

    Hello,
    Why don't you form your own opinion by trying the configurations we suggest? It's sometimes a matter of personal taste, ear, etc...

      I thought about it and tried, I can clearly hear a difference between the two but it's impossible to judge which one would be better, I don't think I know enough about surround sound :/

      Trust your listening comfort; from one user to another, the experience can vary, and there's no need to have a deep understanding of surround sound.

      Okay, thank you, although I would have preferred an answer based on facts, as I think there must still be a predefined use for each mode given everything it offers me! :P

      "an answer based on facts" Alright, but the fact would be that I could try your headset, it's like the different surround effects of home theater amplifiers, hall mode, concert, movie, match, etc... and it can be very different from one brand to another...
