As sophisticated as the software was, the resulting effect was unimpressive due to the natural limitations of stereo headphones. Then came the Zalman Theatre 6 headphones. Theatre 6 was a monumental achievement in personal surround sound because it was a pair of headphones that featured three strategically placed speakers in each earpod. This meant that the surround sound was coming from 6 actual speakers and not just some software trick.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/okgear_headphone/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/okgear_headphone/01th.jpg" width="250" height="231" border="0" alt="OKGear OK800 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Headphone"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p>Since the release of Zalman's Theatre 6 headphones, a few other "real" surround sound headphones have appeared on the market. One of them is the OKGear OK800 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Headphones. Just what does the OK800 bring to the table and how does it compare to the Theatre 6? Read on and find out.</p> <p align="left"><b>Packaging:</b></p> <p align="left">The OK800 headphones come packaged in a fully decorated box.
