Zalman ZM-RS6F USB 5.1 Surround Headphones

In a departure from their reputation as a cooling specialist, we are delighted to present Zalman’s ZM-RS6F series 5.1 channel Real Surround Headphones. Apart from offering a quieter listening option than loudspeakers (!), what’s so special about them? Well, unlike “simulated surround” where the full five or six channels are often poorly simulated through conventional stereo speakers (or headphones), Zalman’s Real Surround Sound Headphones offer physically separate front, rear and centre speakers to produce a genuine surround field as if it is being reproduced from a complete multi-channel speaker system.

The sound is clean, crisp, and all around you but yet right in your ears! As the perfect complement to a 5.1 surround audio card (included with the USB version), these headphones contain no less than six speakers, which enhance discrete sound sources, directional, spatial, and realistic effects. They really do take acoustic realism to new heights. Hearing is believing!

As you might have guessed, the ZM-RS6F USB headphones connect to the computer using USB rather than 3.5mm audio jacks. They have a built-in 5.1 channel sound card which makes them perfect for people who require 5.1 surround sound on a notebook computer. Virtually all laptops are supplied with a stereo headphone output, but by plugging in these headphones the built-in stereo sound card becomes redundant because the computer now has access to the 5.1 surround sound card which is included in the headphone cable. The ZM-RS6F USB headphones will also work fine on a desktop computer and if it already has a sound card then it will be unused.
