Headphones

[clocker]

Today I procured a set of Zalman Theater6 surround sound headphones.
Amazing.
They are very comfortable and even MP3s sound great.
The illusion of a real theater soundstage is quite convincing, the front/rear separation very realistic.

I'm not a gamer, but I imagine that they would excel in gameplaying.

Highly recommended.

Awsome!!, but im stuck with a really crappy pair because i dont have the 3 heaphone jacks on my sound card :angry: damn intergrated P.O.S. :lol: :D

I guess I'm lucky...my Asus board does have the needed jacks ( and excellent onboard sound).

Linky for the Google impaired... (http://www.subzerotech.com/index.php?module=sz_reviews_display&id=157)

Not really.
I like what I like regardless of the brand name.
In my experience Zalman does make very high quality equipment, you just have to focus on their intended design goals.

3 audio out plugs??? I only have 2 but I think I have a digital out also

The parts that often break most are the brackets just above the actual phone housing. Zalman thought of this and designed the headphones in such a way that they fold up into a protective tortoise like shell. Even if you kicked these things in the dark they would likely resist damage.
Yeah, looks like you'd probably break your foot instead. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Comes with a 10ft cable, with 20ft extensions available. That's pretty impressive, but wouldn't bluetooth (does anyone have blue teeth?) have been a better alternative? The one thing I always hate about headphones is the trailing lead.

is that were you can hear a noise in your headphones when you move your mouse?

While those headphones can sound mighty impressive, nothing can beat separate speakers when it comes to Dolby Digital sound. It's only an illusionary effect you're enjoying so much.

I guess if you have to worry about bothering your parents than they're worth the cost.

/my 2 cents.

btw everyone, Dolby processing is all the same. It doesn't matter if you have onboard sound or a sound card. It's all good. Once you have Dolby processing, speaker/amplifiers, processor speed and amount of memory play more of a factor in audio quality than anything else.

peace.

Well, doh.

You are comparing apples and oranges here.
If I'd been looking for a speaker system I wouldn't have purchased the headphones.
I would have gotten a nice surround sound home theater system.

Prolly would have run a bit more than $60 though.

i had a better trick: get a set of Sony headfones, and get 2 sets of earbuds.

crudely drawn in paint:

the two light gray things are earbuds, partially under the cushioning.

i used a sony mdr-v150 for the cushioned stereo headfones, and two earbuds (mine were generic)

the three gray wires u see are all from a right side headfone/earbud. the other side has the left wires. i put the wire sets in shrinkwrap and each 1 plugs into a sound port on my sound card.
