best 7.1 surround sound headset
Headphone designers have always been restricted by the sheer fact that audio engineers only have two different speakers to work with. Displaying remarkable adaptivity, creative headphone engineers have created numerous discrete speakers inside each headphone cup that mimics the surround sound experience. Using advanced algorithms, sound waves are attenuated so that they seem to be reaching the ear from different angles, synthetically replicating what happens in real life when sounds change depending on their direction of origin. Today, every manufacturer of true surround sound headphones use proprietary secret methods to carefully craft the interior of headphone cups to provide a truly immersive listening experience.
But until Dolby Laboratories patented their unique form of surround sound technology in 1976, it was expensive and difficult to produce an authentic 360-degree listening experience. In 1983, director George Lucas perfected the THX certification, giving moviegoers access to an innovative four-channel system that created a more immersive listening experience. Today, the term surround sound refers to the Dolby AC-3 audio classification that uses a 7.1 configuration of speakers mixed with a low frequent effects channel to create true 360-degree audio.
