Zalman Theatre 6 HeadphonesProvided by: Zalman USA Computer audio has come a long way since those buzzers and internal speakers that sounded like R2-D2. Nowadays, computers can be equipped with sound cards capable of providing six plus channels of surround sound. Though listening to surround sound on the computer is incredible, it is not always convenient to setup surround speakers around the computer. When gamers tote their computers to LAN parties, I seriously doubt they bring their speaker systems with them, or if they do I doubt they are permitted to use them. Then there are times where you would like to enjoy surround sound, but do not want to disturb others. Zalman has a solution to these surround sound problem; the Theatre 6 real surround sound headphones.
Packaging: The Theatre 6 comes packaged in a dome display package. The headphone sits inside the folded position and the plastic base had various crevices that hold the headphones in place. Each of the three headphone jacks are plugged into their own labeled plastic "ports" on the base.
The inside of the dome displays the company name; product name; model number (ZM-RS6F) and a one line description, “5.1 Ch equivalent 6. Speaker Headphones.” The back of the package lists specifications along with instructions on how to hook the headphones to a game console, home theater system, and the computer’s sound card. There is also fitting instructions and a precaution that warns about using the headphones at high volumes. Specifications:

Description: What makes these Zalman's headphones special? They contain six actual speakers. In addition to the two main speakers that all headphones contain, there are also two smaller speakers to the left and right (or front and back, however you want to consider it) of each of the main speakers. The front two speakers perform the duties of the center channel, higher frequency or voice. The two main speakers take care of the left and right channels, and the rear two speakers handle the surround channels.
At 11.24 oz, the Theatre 6 is a noticeable weight on your head, but keep in mind that they are housing 6 speakers. The majority of Zalman's Theatre 6 headphones are made of plastic that feels very sturdy. Combined with the weight, this gives the Theatre 6 a solid feel.
Both ear pieces use circular leatherette pads to make the headphones very comfortable to wear. There are protrusions on two ends of each ear piece where the additional speakers are housed. Each protrusion features small vents.
Both ear pieces are hinged to make the headphones fit great and so they can be folded up when not in use. The hinge points on the earpiece feature silver round caps that feature engravements of Zalman and L or R.
The headphone cable runs out of the left ear piece as a single cable and splits into three at the end. The single cable is medium thick and is a lengthy ten feet.
The headband is expandable and the top is cushioned. Zalman reads across the top of this cushioning. While leather makes up the material at the top and sides of the headband cushioning, the bottom part that actually touches your head is cotton.
Each of the three headphone jacks are gold plated and feature a different color housing. They are either labeled C for center, F for front, or R for rear depending on the jack. |
