Conclusion

After testing in all 3 areas of sound, there was a mixed feeling of performance. In gaming and music, the Theatre6 performed extremely well. While playing DVD’s, Center Channel and Front Left and Right Channels were not audible (the only way to hear "everything" would be to set the DVD software to play the stereo sound on the DVD, which meant that there would be no true surround sound).

Pros:

• Bass is strong
• Voices and background sound can be heard clearly
• Can be retracted into compact form

Cons:

• Cannot support DVD True 5.1 Channel on newer DVD Software (Must be encoded to Dolby Surround to play)

After much deliberation, a decision was finally made. Due to its high performance in gaming and music (despite its lack of full utilization of 5.1 Channel Sound), the Zalman Theatre6 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones receives a rating of 8.5/10.

SLRating: 8.5/10
