7.1 Surround Sound Headphones Sennheiser

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been playing computer video games right after the invention of the wheel in every configuration possible in both video and audio. I went from a highfalutin 5.1 surround system to mutiple experiments with 2.1 systems.but nothing engaged me fully in the gaming until now. Set up was again very easy with the dongle connection to the computers USB, download the JBL Quantum app and you are at the starting gate. Click on the 7.1 channel set up and it will launch a video on how to configure the headphones with Windows.This is when the fun starts. Press test after configuration and you will hear the 7.1 surround test pattern swirling around your head.Very cool. It took a little while for my brain to adapt to the ambience that these headphone provide and doing so wirelessly! Footsteps, voices in various enviroments, shot gun blast, and explosions, drew me into the game.Soon the headphones disappered and the gaming expierence became more pronouced and involving. Even my old games that I played over a million times had a new lease on life. But wait theres more. Besides my music library in my computer, I also stream music. Now I can listen to music with these headphones without being tied down to the computer. In fact the distance from the computer was very very impressive. Did I like these? Absolutly killer for gaming and music! They have not left my head!

Used for front presence speakers in 7.1 surround system. High quality.

I run all Klipsch for my 7.1.4 and the surround speakers simply weren't doing the job in context (the mains are Cornwall IV's for example). So I replaced the Klipsch RP 502 II's with the RP 600 II's and am enjoying a much better surround experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased C1 OLED, SN11 7.1 surround sound and UBK90 disc player. All work together flawlessly for a fantastic home theater experience. The LG magic remote from the TV controls all 3 devices.

I set them as rear speakers.Sonos 7.1.4 surround Dolby Atmos system is amazing.Must have

I've always gone for inexpensive headphones and  was ok with that, until I tried on the Sennheiser HD280 & realized I deserved a great pair of headphones that had great sound and kept out all the room noise around me. ... Been using them mostly on my computer to edit video with, and a couple times for recording interviews... ... They're very comfortable, sound is great.. but have to remember to take them off occassionaly to let my ears breath...   Did you know ears can sweat ?

Coming from the Sony MDR-HW700 home theatre headphones it is truly astounding to experience true surround virtualisation. The Sonys did an ok job at mimicking and simulating a wide sound field with non surround signal and when inputting surround had a decent effect, but the JVC is next level. The sound stage it creates with its technology based on a unique scan of your ears and space make all the difference. Listening to actual surround signal feels accurate and truly Immersive. It's an added bonus that these support full atmos and dts signal amd with that coming through these headphones really shine through with their full potential. If you have the budget and need a headphone driven home theatre solution, do not go anywhere else. You need these.

These are awesome headphones. I use these when watching TV. They have this surround sound feature that’s quite awesome. I thought someone was in the room they were that good.

First off,this amp is POWERFUL. I have to watch my younger cousins to make sure they don't deafen themselves with their own headphones. Second, the quality is very sharp and clear, much better than the other options that exist for headphones for consoles. Third, I can share the amp with 3 other people, they can finally appreciate playing first person with surround sound. I have it connected directly to the output from the a/v cables of the 360, I didn't have to deal with any optical cable hassle. This is the easiest and best solution I've found to surround sound headphones for gaming. I can't play without them.

If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to install a home surround sound system for the first time, you will be familiar with the very first aha moment when you realize “I had no idea my tv could sound this good”. These headphones gave me that same aha moment with the music on my phone. With other headphones I am used to playing music and having the sound contained within the physical boundaries of the headphones, but with these quiet comfort ultra headphones it sounds like the music is coming from speakers placed several feet in front of you, beside you, and behind you. It was so different from what I am used to that it actually took me a few minutes for my brain to get used to the depth of the sound. Just imagine surround sound contained within your headphones and you’ve got the big takeaway. They are a little snug around the temples, but I expect that will ease up with more use.
