Dolby Headphone

I was listening to the latest diggnation podcast yesterday while I was on the Metrolink on my way up to LA. I was surprised when I heard a portion of their podcast was done in Dolby Headphone technology. If you're a tech geek like me, you'll probably dig(g) this. It basically simulates 5.1 Dolby surround sound within the confines of a single pair of headphones. You don't even need a special pair of Dolby-certified headphones; I just used the standard earbuds that come with the iPod.
(side note: I believe I'm the only person I know that thinks the Apple earbuds are comfortable to use.)

If you want to check it out, you have a few options. First, grab a pair of headphones and plug that shit into your computer.

You can hear Dolby's demo on their site.
