Headzone® reproduces the entire acoustic reality of speakers and room.

Automatic Configuration for High-Definition Audio

The intelligent base station provides two digital inputs (optical and coaxial) to automatically recognize and decode surround signals such as Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Pro Logic. LEDs on the Headzone let you know which high-definition audio mode is in effect. There’s nothing to configure–the Headzone delivers high-definition, cinema-quality audio decoding of your DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and games automatically, right out of the box.

The fast, autonomous configuration to the appropriate audio mode ensures unlimited entertainment without a complicated navigation through menus with the remote control. The volume can easily be adjusted with the volume control integrated in the headphone cable.

Room Modeling to Replicate Your Surround System

Controls on the Headzone unit allow you to adjust settings to create a virtual version of your room. You can enjoy a private listening environment that perfectly replicates the experience of your large surround sound home theater system. This "room modeling" can be configured quickly and easily. There are three settings for Room Size, Ambience, and Head Tracker that simulate the characteristics of any given room, and are each adjustable via a single dial.
