Crazy surround sound headphones by Zalman.

I guess they dont just make heat sinks any more.

Has anyone had a chance to try these out with games?

Looks like they're trying to give the K1000s a run for their money in the 'how much weight can we really put on someone's head' department.

Someone should do a study on 'the quality of soundstaging' to 'number of soundcard outputs required.'

But seriously, i wonder how much they leak? To me, the seal looks real shady, esp. considering it blocks 4 of the speakers.

K1000's really aren't that heavy by my memory.

316.8 grams isn't that much.

My ATH-A900s weigh ~350 grams, in comparison.

My friend has these headphones and boy are they THE darkest and muddiest souning headphones i have ever heard.
For gaming they are so-so, they do not provide as good positional audio as the Speedlink Medusa 5.1 headset. The Medusa's are tinny but they give me the upper hand in Call of Duty combined with EAX 3, You can hear anything and automatically know where its coming from, With Speakers or 2 channel headphones (Crappy ones) I dont play even half as well.

they dont leak anywhere near as bad as the speedlink's do, they have pretty good isolation for surround phones
