Because headphones with just two speakers are junk and outdated, Psyko Audio has decided to up the ante quite a bit with their Psyko 5.1 headphones. These rather interestingly designed headphones don’t have just two speakers, but a whole slew of them, surrounding your head. They’re not kidding when the say surround sound! Apparently they have won some awards. I wonder if most radical design was one of them? Regardless, I can’t say I wouldn’t buy them if I liked how they sounded, however no matter how good their marketing is, I see them as a bit gimmicky. Besides the gimmicky part it will cost you $300 in order to get full surround sound headphones. Maybe if you lived in an apartment and wanted to blare movies at least you have a safe alternative without having to worry about having your neighbors or land lord knocking on the door. Even though they do look cool and unique, I would say try before you buy!
