Headphones have always been in stereo or mono, but how would you like to experience full 5.1 surround sound in a compact headphone set without having to shell out for all those speakers?
Designtechnica Corporation have reviewed the Ezonics ESound 5.1 headphones.

"Overall, the ESound did a great job of producing actual surround sound in supported movies and games. Stereo music also sounded good, and even games without 5.1 surround sound audio benefited from the ESound solution.
Bass response was excellent, but at times too much and had to be turned down. With a few refinements, Ezonics would have a hard-to-beat product.
Six-channel sound in gaming is a reality and Ezonics has done a great job bringing that reality to a headset. We look forward to future versions that address our concerns but definitely think the ESound is a great start."
