Psyko 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones…Literally!

Because headphones with just two speakers are junk and outdated, Psyko Audio has decided to up the ante quite a bit with their Psyko 5.1 headphones.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!
