Great you’ve got the X-Box, you’ve have the Blu-Ray hooked up and you even bought a 7.1surround sound system so you could have the great immersive surround sound effects for all your movies and games. One problem! It doesn’t seem as though your family and neighbors appreciate all those wonderful surround effects at midnight like you do. Also the police showing up at your door to discuss your violation of the local noise ordinances won’t do anything to improve your standing in the neighborhood.
Let’s face it you need head phones, but not just any headphones. Normal headphones just will not give you that immersive surround sound experience you’re looking for and that cord is just a pain in the kiester. Well Pioneer has a solution for you.
The Pioneer SE DIR800C Headphones.
These headphones produce all the rich full sound you want and have come to love from your surround setup. As a matter of fact after wearing these headphones for a short while you might even forget that the sound isn’t coming from your external speakers. The DIR800C’s are also pretty much noise free with little to no white noise present when the sound is cranked up.
The Pioneer SE DIR800C Headphones are also equipped with Dolby Headphone, which will give you greater and more realistic surround sound effects. The inclusion of Dolby Headphone will also enhance audio signals coming from a number of sources such as, Dolby Digital and DTS, Dolby ProLogic II and even that crappy two channel stereo you listen to sometimes. In addition Pioneer has made the 800C’s switchable over 3 settings:
- DH1: This will emulate the sound as if you were in a small room.
- DH2: Same emulation, except now you are in a large room acoustically.
- DH3: This emulation moves you up to the acoustics in a small movie theater.
If comfort is a big factor with you, and it should be, the Pioneer SE DIR800C Headphones have you covered there as well. The adjustable head band is easy to adjust and will stay comfortable for hours. The ear cups are covered with a cloth material to minimize sticking to your skin, a problem all headphones with enclosed ear cups experience after several hours of listening. With the 800C’s weighing in at just 8 oz you can wear them for hours without feeling like a boulder is sitting on top of your head.
The only draw back I can find with the 800C’s is that the wireless is strictly line of sight and if you go behind a object the sound will cut out. A small price to pay for a pair of headphones that deliver this kind of sound quality and comfort.
