Proved that despite its huge size the CD3000 can be shoved down one's throat.

If you do a search that was discussion not long ago about them, all we could discern was that they were a good manufacturer of heat sinks, other than that.......

The review itself is actually quite bad, ending with:

This is not the first time that this has been tried. According to this report, Quote:
This white paper is well worth reading if you are interested in the technologies behind "surround sound headphones."

| To win over home cinema enthusiasts, however, the company needs to further improve the product's sound quality. The quality of the rear effects channels and the center channel (which should be more dominant) is inferior to that of a normal multi-channel speaker system. |
This is not the first time that this has been tried. According to this report, Quote:
| The first quadraphonic headphone designs followed the "2-2" system and housed a total of four transducers. Each earcup had a two transducers, with the rear channel information going to the one closest to the back of the head. Possibly the transducers were angled slightly inward to aim at the ear drum. These phones could be adapted for regular stereo listening by driving both transducers with the same audio signal - usually accomplished with an adapter plug. Although this basic design (which is still in use today) could sound more spacious than regular stereophones, it failed to image outside the head of the listener, even when fed with true quadraphonic material. Regular stereo headphones suffered from lack of interaural crossfeed and HRTF filtering, which are required for true 3-D hearing. Four-channel phones further compounded the problem with inadequate spacing between the front and rear channels. |

I've heard about these before, if you ask me I wouldn't reccomend buying them. Zalman is a company renown for making nice heatsinks for computer proccesors, and video cards, as said before, not headphones.
