Creative Release HQ-2300D Surround Sound Headphones
New to the (Australian) market is the HQ-2300D. The cans come with their own little teeny weeny Dolby Digital & DTS decoder. I'm assuming that's what the lumpy thing (not the headphones) in the above shot is. I may well be a dancin' fool but what exactly is the benefit of:
giving expanded and natural playback from DVD players, MP3 players and game consoles.
Maybe the Dolby decoder can transmogrify your mp3's into an amazing surround sound experience. Maybe there's some format which supports this. Or maybe they're trying to pull a swifty. Who knows? Not me, that's for sure. I trust Sim Wong Hoo and I'm sure he wouldn't do such a thing.
At any rate, when you are next mastering a surround sound mix on the fly... but err... don't have cash for surround reference speakers... Er no scratch that. Here's some interesting headphones which will probably sound okay. Check them out if you have an urgent Dolby Digital or DTS need on the move, or in the privacy of a pair of headphones.
