Sony’s Wireless 7.1 channel headphones

Today Sony announced their latest wireless headphones, which will be the world’s first digital surround sound headphones.

The Sony MDR-DS7500 headphones, part of Sony’s MDR series, feature their latest processing chip that supports up to 7.1 channel audio and has Dolby ProLogic llz for surround sound reproduction made from stereo signals.

Comfort was kept in mind as designers customized the leather cushioning for those who wear prescription lenses, or who utilize their headphones to watch movies in 3D; there is a notable improvement in cushion flexibility.

And the battery life? 18 hours of wireless use. Sound good? Looks like you’ll have to travel to Japan this coming October, as there is no official date set for when the headphones will be made available in the US. Prices start at ¥50,000, or roughly $651.
