Could be, but that is not proof that headphones can provide 3D. It probably means that the headphones are connected to only some of the 5 channels. Go over to Wikipedia and read the very fine article on "sound localization." It points out that to get more than 2D you need more than 2 detectors (a.k.a. ears) or to move the detectors (i.e. move your head). Anyone claiming to be able to do this with headphones must therefore have more than 2 ears and OMG! must be one of those Martians who are in command of Windows 7. OMG! OMG! They are already amongst us! ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
