Description:

The Sennheiser HD580DSP surround-sound headphone includes the critically acclaimed Sennheiser HD580 full-size, over-ear headphone and Sennheiser's DSP Pro surround processing module. The HD580 headphone uses an advanced Duofol diaphragm to eliminate standing waves and extend the HD580's impressive low- frequency response.

This headset has a frequency response of 12 to 38,000 Hz, and definitely sounds it--the HD580's high- and low-frequency extension exceed those of most other headphones with respect to smoothness and transparency. They can be connected directly to premium hi-fi systems, including DAT, DCC, and CD players. The audiophile-grade components are designed especially for classical music and professional recording.

The Sennheiser HD580DSP has a built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder and an internal amplifier for two pairs of headphones. The DSP Pro processor creates three-dimensional sound fields with the aid of Toltec virtual sound technology. Essentially, the DSP Pro tricks your ears into thinking they are hearing three-dimensional sound on a pair of traditional headphones or speakers. The Toltec system computes five-channel surround signals for two-channel output, with convincing results. A three-mode digital sound processor re-creates a theater, club, or hall sound environment. Standard controls (volume, bass, and balance) are enhanced by phantom and mute options.
