Die-hard video gamers, movie and music enthusiasts now have a new ally in the fight to be entertained at any time and at the decibel level of their preference. Night owls also can get their entertainment fix without waking the rest of the house. And, since the headphones are wireless, it can all be done without fear of tripping over wires.

These unique headphones simulate the sum of direct and reflected signals from ‘virtual` speakers to create high quality surround-sound as it would be experienced in a traditional home theater. The SE-DIR800C have the capability of processing Dolby Digital(TM) and DTS(TM) surround sound as well as Dolby Pro Logic II(TM) from a gaming console, DVD player, or CD player connected through the optical or coaxial input. The closed, dynamic type headphones have a frequency response of 12 to 22,000 Hz and an impedance of 32 Ohms. The control unit uses infrared technology to send the digital audio signal to the headphones. The headphone batteries are rechargeable through the control unit.

The headphones offer three settings or listening rooms that can be selected by the user, including:

Reference Room - a small, acoustically damped room.

Livelier Room - a more acoustically live room.

Large Room - a more distant and diffuse effect.

The SE-DIR800C headphones offer super-soft earphone enclosures so the entire ear is cushioned for greater comfort.

Even Better Than Expected

"Glad I didn't go with Bluetooth. The sound is spectacular. Automatically adjusts when you switch between HD and SD channels on the cable TV box. My wife likes them so much she watches TV with them on although I have the TV sound on. She doesn't take them off when she leaves the room; there's no annoying sound effects as she goes in and out of range. Using Lithium AA Batteries make then feel significantly lighter..."

Great Sound Poor Execution

"Product sound is great with well done 5.1 surrond sound. The headset is light and comfortable. Set up was straight forward and intuitive. Control panel will not maintain settings during a power outage. Onboard battery charger will only charge Pioneer brand rechargeable batteries. Pioneer wants [$]for each of their rechargeable AA batteries. It is rediculous to pay [$]to replace the batteries when the origi..." Read Full Review »

"I was eyeing a new home theater system while at the same time lamenting that I would never be able to crank it up in my condo. Then I found these. They sound just like real 5.1 sound (only lacking the feel of it) without disrespecting the neighbors and at a fraction of the price! Also saves space …" Read Full Review »

"These headphone are probably the best in this price point in my opinion. They are light weight, yet look fragile if mishandled. The sound is very powerful and crystal clear.
