Per title. I've just bought some wireless headphone which claim to be "7.1 Surround". How does that work?

Headphones cant to 7.1, dishwashers cant do HD, so I vote for On Topic.

Listen, chaps, as interesting as you may find kitched appliances IMO they are as dull as dishwater (see what I did there?!?) so can someone tell me how 7.1 headphones work?

Forget about 5.1 / 7.1. It's all about how your ears percieve sound.

Have a listen to this... with any old headphones.

It's witchcraft. I have a pair of these:



and they are brilliant. Great for late night/early morning DVD watching.

But there's no wires or nothing.

Like I said, witchcraft.

Haha, nice. :-~

I bought these yesterday, and it does kinda seem to work... but I don't know if I'm kidding myself to justify the money?!

Sit yourself down and have a good talk with yourself.

You don't have to "justify" spending money on shiny stuff.
