About : 5.1 Channel supported Headphone. The headphone has dedicated sub-woofer, and speakers for front, rear and central audio sound channel, which makes it amazing for watching late night movies without compromising with surround sound experience or disturbing neighbors.
Project Duration : October 2013 – November 2013
Project Inspiration : I was introduced to 5.1ch Music Surround System by one of my friend and I desparetly wanted to have it, so I decided to make one for myself. Also, I wanted to use it at night also without disturbing my neighbours, So I made a 5.1ch Headphone.
It does not provide the true surround experience as sound from Right Rear is not reproduced in Left can, but because of dedicated sources for each channel the experience is still better than most of the conventional headphones available.
