These are "7.1" headphones. Now obviously they don't have 8 drivers in them, but what they do have is a USB audio interface that takes 7.1 channels from the computer and runs it through dolby headphone. The specific dolby headphone profile is perfectly tuned to these headphones, so it's like having binaural sound on everything. It legitimately sounds outside of the headphones, even with simple stereo output, not just a little less "headphone like", like there are actual speakers in front of you, just like with binaural recordings.
Unfortunately, using the interface with different headphones doesn't work as well, but the headphones themselves sound really good. You could hook the interface up to an amp via 3.5mm, but honestly there's no point, the interface sounds fine by itself.
I seriously recommend checking these out, even if just for the wow factor.
