According to Panasonic, their new RP-WF5500 headphones are “the world’s smallest and lightest wireless surround sound headphones.” Believe it or not, each unit packs 5.1-channel Dolby Surround support over a 2.4GHz connection, a 20 to 22,000 Hz frequency band, 30-meter (98-foot ) operating range, and six hour battery life into a 250g (.56-pound) frame.
