Experience Dolby Headphone Surround with the movie Pearl Harbor. Check out more information on Headwise.com. There is even a review on it in terms of how it sounds in the video forum. Check it out.

I'm deffinitely buying my version.

Acidtripwow have you heard about the AKG Hearo777 Quadra? It's a wirless system very much like yours, as well as dolby headphone, and the Sony MDR-DS8000 but simulates eight speakers and even decodes Dolby 7.1 EX as well as DTS 7.1 ES. It's a an actual product that has already been advertised, unlike dolby headphone which hasn't been made into any CE product yet.

check it out,
http://www.akg-acoustics.com/english...777-quadra.htm

keep in mind that according to headwise, "These products are not available in the US yet. The MSRP (based on prices in Germany) is about $250 US for the Quadra and $285 US for the Deluxe. I hope they sell for that much when they arrive in US.

They aren't FCC approved... they won't be coming to the US for a while.

I know, that's what sucks. But this headphone system challenges DH, sony, and all the rest. Eight Speakers?! The fact that it decodes Dolby 7.1 ex sounds awesome. Sony does too, but not with eight speakers! Hopefully they get it approved.

I got it Saturday and we watched it Saturday night. DTS soundtrack.

Sunday I put it in my laptop, and it wouldn't play right and wouldn't give me a soundtrack option. Put it back in the Pioneer DVD and switched to DH. Really pretty damned neat. Not as good as the DTS on the big system, but definitely listenable. Now if they'll only release mor and I can get it to work on the laptop.

The movie is too long, and too much of the story is the love stories. It's well over an hour in before there's really much action.

Great action once it starts.

That's possibly the test, will DH make the DVD sell well instead of the film. So far I've been spreading the word. One co-worker of mine wants to borrow it to listen to the DH track, another I've discussed the DVD with has purchased it. I still haven't listen to it yet myself, too buisy. When I find the time I will.

important!

NOTE: I think it would be advisable to view Pearl harbor in a smaller room since it's set for DH1 which replicates a home theater in a small room, NOT A BIG WIDE SPACIOUS ROOM.
