You have never experienced the true 3D surround acoustics. This is what the Psyko 5.1 Gaming Headphones prove. As the extreme opposite to ordinary headphones, the Psyko 5.1 Gaming Headphones are simply marvellous and show a quantum leap in headphone technology. Currently being introduced at the CES 2009, these headphones sport an entire 5.1 surround sound system that produces sound effects just like your home theatre used to generate.

Psyko 5.1 Gaming Headphone bridge has got five audio drivers, with a subwoofer in each ear cup. These five audio drivers play an important part in generating true surround sound effects. The listener can clearly identify the origination point of each and every acoustic wave and he can also clearly follow that sound to its terminating point. There is also a sweet audio spot which overall enhances the sound mix so that you hear better, play better. In short, these gaming headphones are superior to almost everything you would find on the market, even the semi-professional Sennheiser PXC 450 headphones, for example. Due to the absence of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) the sound is not altered and there is no latency. To experience the miracles that this gaming headphone does all you have to do is plug it into the 3.5mm jacks, set your PC to 5.1 speakers and put the headphone on. The five audio drivers located beneath the headphone bridge are strategically positioned and sense each the location of the sounds precisely. It also makes sure that the different sounds are delivered with correct timing and volume differences.

This is the new entrant to the JBL family of the ES800 and ES1000 series in its home theatre surround sound department. The JBL ES900 Cinepack speakers consist of a Total of Five speakers and one Subwoofer, all packed in Five big boxes and weighing over 83 k.g.

The set of the five speakers consists of one Centre Speaker, Two Bookshelf Speakers and Two Floor Standing Speakers. The whole package is quite huge and is very imposing. The look is also very impressive and decent and comes in black ash veneer. The main speakers are the two floor standing speakers, whilst the bookshelf speakers, very much resembling the JBL ES 20 set, provide the backup. One is the right hand side speaker while the other is the front left side speaker. These speakers also come as separate set of speakers under the JBL’s ES900. The special aspect of these is that every range like the Mid-range, treble and the bass are controlled by separate elements in the speaker which results in a more balanced reproduction of the sound. The two surround bookshelf speakers including the Centre Speakers take the back seat. In fact the centre speaker specializes in movie sound tracks to bring clarity to vocal aspect or the dialogue with emphasis on the mid-range. Similarly the surround speakers add to the separation to the positional studio.

Similarly the Subwoofer which has a 10 in driver really compliments the five speakers with its massive power. It has its own amplifier and can be adjusted according to the requirement. The bass had the punch and died off pretty quickly. Similarly the tweeter in floor standing Speakers reproduces an excellent clarity and sharpness even at high volumes. Overall they are a great choice for quality music, whether it is a stereo music or the surround sound system.

If you’re looking for a set of compact Channel Home Cinema Speakers that are really big eye catchers in terms of design and finish, plus are equally outstanding as far as price is concerned, then the KEF KHT 2005.3 channel home cinema speakers could be for you.

This KHT 2005.3 home cinema set consists of the new Kube-2 subwoofer, one HTC 2001.3 centre speaker and four HTS2001.3 satellites. The satellites have eye catchy design and a glossy finish both in a matt silver and black colour. These egg shaped satellites have a multi directional platform capable of being placed at any angle. Moreover, the satellites are also fitted with neodymium magnets, drivers, and metal dome tweeters, which make them capable of powerful sound dispersion over a wider area.

Further on the back of the satellite are the binding posts which are of very superior quality. The subwoofer is also very elegant and compact and has a shiny black panel on the top and the rear side has very neatly arranged switches and knobs including an EQ switch to improve Bass response, a 180 degree phase control switch and volume and crossover dials. The sound quality is comparable among the top quality channel home cinema speakers. It is very powerful and crisp and the blending of all the speakers with each other reproduced a pleasingly unified sound. The clarity and the detailing are also outstanding.

Kogan believes in introducing only those products which give the consumer the best features at a very affordable price. User friendly, noise free and quick, this is how I can describe the full HD 1080P Blu-ray player. You don’t have to wait long for the tray to open, you place the disc and then it loads etc….etc… This player works as fast as you want it to work.

The interface is clean and it gives a bright and crisp picture quality to the viewer. There are many connectors along with the stereo and 5.1 analog audio. You can also decode the audio formats from regular to Dolby Digital and then to DTS-HD. This makes the player stand out from big time Samsung and Sony Blu-ray players, which have similar functions, but at an average price of around £60 - £100 more. It has a remote handset, which has a sleek look and is well programmed than most we see around. It help you to brouse the menus smoothly. The Kogan Technology Blu-ray player full HD 1080 P is highly intuitive and supports an amazing user interface.

We just find single draw back in this product and that it lacks in profile 2.0 compliance. Not that it makes much difference to the overall performance but some of the latest Blu-ray discs have online content that only exclusive profile 2.0 players can access. Its up to the user if he requires the latest and updated version with an extra cost but make sure that it shall be worth it.

So hurry this is highly recommended for people who would like to spend their wisely and make sure they get great returns.
