i think he's saying each headphone (of which there are two) have multiple speakers inside

I know. But he also said it has front and rear speakers and you can hook it up to your home reciever. A pair of Sennheiser headphones would blow those out of the water anyway.

Very Very Doubtful. Ive lestened to Professional quality Sennheiser headphones and these blow them out of the water.
and the comment about how headphones cannot create Imaging is complete BS. come on matt i thought you played games before. Anyone who has ever used headphones to play a game knows that with a good set of headphones you can hear distinct areas where the sound is coming from. Why is it that pro gamers use headphones, because you can hear another player coming up before you see them. the sound card is part of the equation but if you are listening to the game on a set of earbuds your sound is going to be 2 dimensional.
The reason that these headphones are so great is that the sound is split up into 6 channels. so that in collaboration with my 6 channel soundcard equals knowing that theres a zombie behind me and that a box just fell to the front left of me.
Its true that the human ear must have both ears to create imaging but im not just listening with one ear. each headphone has 3 speakers inside it so the sound can remain in its original 6 channel form. [/b][/quote]
Regardless, you are filling each ear with sound that is being produced not even an inch away. No shit that you hear a sound and don't see anything move that you can easily assume that the sound came from behind you, or possibly somewhere else. You don't need 6 fucking speakers in your damn priceless headphones to get the affect of sound behind you. Technologies such as Creative's EAX create that imaging effect just fine with regular speakers or headphones. All it takes is adjusting the tone/frequency/pitch and it sounds like there is actually something above, behind or below you. What I'm getting at is feeding each ear with sound from 3 different speakers is worthless. With the speakers being so close to your ears you will be unable to tell the difference between what is in front and what is behind. Nor can each ear individually differentiate between what is in front or behind.
