Dolby Headphone

5.1 surround sound through any pair of headphones

Dolby® Headphone technology allows users to wear any set of headphones and listen to music, watch movies, or play video games with the dramatic surround effects of a 5.1-channel soundtrack. Listeners can enjoy the spacious, natural soundfield for hours.


Features:

  • Realistic 5.1 surround sound from any set of headphones.
  • Processes 24-bit/96 kHz audio, such as DVD-Audio, which produces surround sound bit-for-bit identical to the studio masters.
  • Superb surround sound with Dolby Pro Logic® II from stereo music and movies.

Benefits:

  • Enables enjoyment of surround sound without disturbing others.
  • Improves listening comfort and reduces "listener fatigue."
  • Allows stereo content to be heard as 5.1-channel surround sound (when combined with Dolby Pro Logic II).
