The manufacturer promised the 'world's first' 9.1-channel listening experience using only a pair of headphones. To achieve this the HW700 employs sophisticated psychoacoustical processing to create nine virtual channels from the stereo imaging produced by headphones the user is wearing.

Effective surround presence; Easy to setup and use; Attractive design; Comfortable to wear; Multiple HDMI inputs; 3D and 4K passthrough

Not ideal for stereo listening; Price

This is my first headphone in my life, so I can't compare it to other products. However, I can say this one has good enough sound quality especially for video games and movies. It is also comfortable and light-weighted.

Comfortable; Durable; Lightweight

Brilliant. I researched this extensively before purchase and there some mixed responses. I've found it amazing; watching a few of my old Blu-rays has been a real immersive experience. Understandably, the best result comes with connection via HDMI.

Probably asking too much for a pair of headphones. Some sort of cinematic processing is achieved but the listening experience is less comfortable than using speakers. My expectation of good performance in normal stereo mode was very much a let down.

Want surround sound without the wires, the leagues of speakers and the threats of eviction that come when you crank up the volume? The Sony MDR-HW700DS is the ultimate in gadgety indulgence. It plunges you right into films and games in a way that other headphones don't.

Epic surround soundstage; Very comfy; Pretty convenient

Expensive; Not as good as normal cans
