If you’re one of those folks that think headphones are headphones and once you’ve tried one, you’ve tried them all, this new headset from Sony will definitely put you in a different state of mind.  The DR-GA500 Headset is a set of 3D surround sound headphones strapped to a high-fidelity microphone.  However, unlike those other posers that purport to be true 3D, Sony’s is the real deal.  It even comes with an audio conversion box that makes your PC output 7.1 surround!

And any gamer knows that a session can tend to get prolonged—especially if you’re on a kill-streak.  That’s why Sony created what it calls “triple enfolding” padding.  These puppies will sit gently on your ears for hours without the least bit of irritation.

No word on price or release date (I’m going to go out on a limb and say they’re going to have a bit of a price tag on them) but you can bet your bucks that when you do get a chance to snag a pair of these, you will be equipped with one of the best wearable audio devices around.  Feel free to warn your buddies that the next round of Call of Duty will be yours.
