5.1 Digital Surround, now in stereo...

Keep in mind this isn't BS stuff. Dolby has created 5.1 technology that uses any pair of stereo headphones. We've already had a glimpse of this kind of audio with Nintendo's Virtual Surround capability on the DS handheld. You might as well check it out now

NOTE: For demos, hit the Dolby Headphones logo at the top right of the page.

Hmm... I tried the demo... not very convincing thought. I'll reserve judgement until I've really seen (or hear) it in action.

Re: 5.1 Digital Surround, now in stereo...

sounds rather interesting.
if it does sound as good as the real thing (5.1) they would be rather nice too have.
