Gadget Gary: AWD510 wireless 5.1-channel Headphones
Gary Dell'Abate  |  Jan 05, 2008

I wasn't sure why the guys at S&V asked me to have a listen to Acoustic Research's AWD510 wireless 5.1-channel headphones ($350; audiovox.com). They looked big and clunky compared with many of today's much smaller 'phones and earbuds.
