Zalman Theatre 6 Headphones Review

HiTechMods tests Zalman’s 5.1 channel headphones on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard:

Zalman is mainly known for silent cooling products in their Computer Noise Prevention System line. The newest product to come from Zalman has nothing to do with lowering noise levels but rather creating noise. They have changed focus away from cooling products to create a new set of 5.1 channel headphones. During the night or at LAN parties loud speakers are not very practical because you don’t want to wake someone sleeping in a different room or bother the gamer sitting next to you. These headphones are designed to reproduce the big sounds created from 5.1 channel home theater speakers but in a much smaller package. Today at HiTechMods will be checking out Zalman’s new Theatre 6 Real Surround Sound Headphones.

. . . One feature that I found absent in this set was a volume control on the cable. Having to use software to adjust the volume can become quite annoying. Although they do perform well no headset is going to be better than a decent set of speakers. If you are used to high end headphones I would not recommend these but if you are an average user the Theatre 6 headphones will be a nice addition to your computer setup. They may not be the best headset around but for their price (~$50) they perform very well. The Theatre 6 headphones are Zalman’s first attempt at a product outside the hardware cooling market and they have succeeded.
