Headphones reviews

Description

Audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts who demand the best sound quality and all the convenience of home listening will appreciate Sony’s MDR-DS8000 infrared wireless digital surround-sound headphone system. The headphones are capable of creating the kind of multi-channel surround sound effects found in home and movie theaters through the fusion of Sony’s audio analysis, digital signal processing, and the latest transducer technologies to produce VTP (Virtual Phones Technology) via the supplied digital processing unit.

The system’s wireless technology lets you listen, untethered, from anywhere within a 33-foot radius of the processor unit. Listening with a friend? The system supports unlimited reception when used with additional wireless headsets (model MDR-IF8000, only one set supplied).

The MDR-DS8000 headphones employ Sony’s Gyrotrak head-tracking system that measures the rotational angle of your head (while listening, of course) and compensates the sound space data to offset the effects of the rotation–that is, the current position or incline of your head. This allows the direction of the sound to remain unchanged even when you move your head to reach for the popcorn, ensuring a seamless, lifelike sensation of listening to sound in the room rather than merely in your head.

These top-of-the-line headphones feature a third-generation Logic 3D processor that is capable of 150 million instructions per second (MIPS), along with a high-accuracy, 24-bit surround decoder that supports Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS (DTS-ES), and MPEG2/AAC formats.

Connections include a stereo RCA analog input, a pair of optical digital-audio inputs, and a wired headphone output for use with optional wired headphones.
