Sound reproduction outside the listener’s head
With the Logic 3D processor, headphone playback does not confine the sound to a
fixed position in the listener’s head, but creates the sensation of 360-degree natural
sound field with spatial orientation. This allows simulation of the surround sound
field from speaker playback when using not only DVD, but all audio and video
sources.

Open-air headphones with ring supports
Newly developed headphones provide comfortable listening and a natural sound
field. They do not cover the ears, and allow listening without pressure or discomfort.
Moreover, additional MDR-IF5000 headphones (sold separately) can be purchased,
allowing more than one person to enjoy surround sound at the same time within the
infrared transmission area (page 13).
