Tube 5.1 Surround Headphones

Clearly, the future of headphones is surround sound, delivered by "acoustical alloy" tubing
worn around the head. I have no qualms whatsoever about this device.
I'm sure the surround effect is completely successful, and I think the
claim of "mastering" as an application is an excellent idea — if
you're mastering professional 5.1 surround mixes, then you should spend
the EUR149.00 on this device, because it will accurately represent 5.1
surround separation and spatialization.

What do you mean, I'm overdoing the irony?

I also see they're working on a combination DVD player + headphones "perfect for karaoke." Um, 5.1 surround karaoke? [via BURP -- bit old, sorry!]

I want to know the frequency response, the dynamic range, etc? I mean, if there is no bass in these things, then screw it. I LOVE the idea though. If I could hear it to verify if it was good, I’d get it instantly. $200 USD for surround sound phones? Heck yeah.

Now i’m a saint.

So, don’t use it with an mp3 player. I’t too bad : 8 ohms, 65-20000 hz - 95 Db

There is a connector to plug it directly to output speaker.

But with an AV amp, fantastic !!!!! :)
