I bought this
I have always been interested in surround sound but the technology has not been really matured nor popular. Heard of SACD and DVD-Audio? These two formats are for high resolution and multi-channel music. I have not yet invested in them 'coz I can't play any music with reasonable volume at home. My only hope is headphone.
Dolby has its Dolby Headphone technology that's supposed to be able to simulate surround sound using stereo (your head will still think it's surround) but so far there is no product that combines Dolby Headphone and SACD/DVD-Audio.
This new headphone I bought does no simulation. Instead it really has 6 (or 8?) drivers inside. The surround effect is quite realistic. Too bad the driver quality is not that great. After all, it's more for the computer crowd, i.e., the people that play games and movie using their computer. I heard that surround is really useful for gamers 'coz it allows them to find out whether enemy is shooting from behind or where else. Well, for me using it on music is still kinda fun.
