    I am curious how you listen to your media. Please check as many of these as you have.

    *Note* There are many, many versions of these technologies. I tried to place these in ascending order from oldest to newest. If you don't see the exact version of DD or DTS you have, check the newest version before the tech exceeds what you have. Also, I mean this in a sense of being able to use. If you only have 2 speakers, then that's not really surround sound, IMO.

    Thanks, I think this might be interesting...

    If I did, I wouldn't know which version. Also, I think headphones count as surround sound.

    Headphones and a bong hit should be added to the list, shouldn't they?

    And to be technical, all sound is surround sound...

    Just like all food is organic food. Even a plastic chew toy is organic, that doesn't make it food.

    Per the previous point, you're going to want to stick that whole banana down your throat, skin and all.

    It depends on the headphones and whether they can position the sound. Some Headphones are incapabable of 3D positioning so the argument that all headphones count as surround sound is invalid.

    Not really. If you put one earbud in one ear, and then cut the other *one with scissors, I suppose that would not be surround sound.

    *severing the earbud, not the ear.

    Please don't use my thread to boost your post count just to gain access to the invite section. Go spam the movie threads like everyone else, loser.


    Also, feel free to use this thread to finally come out of the closet. Idol, are you a flaming homosexual who dresses up in vinyl gimp suits?
