Thursday, May 18th, 2006
SE-DIR800C Wireless Headphones with Dolby Headphone Technology helps youc let a sleeping family keep you from your new action adventure movie, DTS® 5.1 concert, or your on-line video game tournament complete with Dolby® Digital 5.1 Surround! Go ahead and experience all the 3 dimensional surround sound your heart desires!
Dolby HeadphoneTM technology produces up to five virtual loudspeakers in your head via conventional stereo headphones by creating a unique sum of direct and reflected sound from each channel of 5.1 audio. As a result, the listening sensation is much more natural with sounds appearing to be outside of your head; just like a conventional 5.1 speaker system would sound.
