Going to the movies.

Going to the movies now means cuddling up on your sofa and putting on your favorite DVD. All you need is a HEARO – no ex- tra decoder, no extra loudspeakers, no extra cables.

Take some time to enjoy IVA processing. The sound won’t seem to come from your headphones but from where the loudspeak- ers would normally sit. You will hear details you’ve never heard before.

Now switch in one of the surround decoders. Select Dolby Surround Pro-Logicand experience the typical surround sound from four directions. Or enjoy the full eight channels of the LOGIC7 decoder from high-end audio equipment manufacturer LEXICON. You will feel as if you were at the movies. The XXL speakers with patented AKG Varimotion diaphragms provide powerful sound and ensure accurate reproduction even at high volume levels. This feature has made HEARO Family headphones very popular with hi-fi enthusiasts, too.
