Zalman 5,1 surround headphones
Headphones are not always just ordinary 'headphones' as some people would imagine because today we are having a look at a pair of 5.1 surround sound headphones from Zalman!
Alot of sites have done reviews on these and they have turned out to be really good headphones. We will do some gaming tests and some movie watching
to see how well they really work. Well let's have a closer look.
About Zalman:
Despite the fact that computers have become common-place at home and at workplaces for a long time but true user friendliness of the computers are still a long shot. At Zalman Tech, we strive to make that goal a closer reality through extensive research and development of our products. We were the worlds first in reducing computer noise down to lower than 20dB, thus creating a more user friendly computing environment. Now you can use a computer without distracting noise and also form high fidelity audio system or home theatre without ambient noise with one. Zalman Tech will continue to put efforts to creating more enhanced levels of user friendliness in computing; we believe we have sufficient ability and determination. Your support and interest is greatly appreciated.

On the backside they have decided to place alot of info about the headphones.

The headphones are very stylish and in fashion with silver and black as the main colors. There are three connectors that you have to plug into the receiver or the computer or whatever you prefer.
They are color coded so it's pretty easy and the manual says where to plug them in. The light gray goes to the front connector, dark grey goes to the rear connector, and the black goes to the center connector.

The headphones are a bit bigger and heavier than normal ones but that's understandable as it has so many speakers built in. On the right picture we can see the
headphones from the right and that shows that they are a bit bigger. They are not uncomfortable while wearing them even though they are a bit bigger.

We can see that these are really thick and soft so they will not hurt your ear after wearing them for awhile. These are the most comfortable headphones I have worn in my life! You can make them bigger and smaller also. After adjusting them they sat perfect on my head.

The manual is great even though it's small. It has several languages but covers everything you need to know anyways.
