I have been trying to score a set of 5.1 headphones for late night Bluray viewing and gaming.

There are quite a few manufacturers. Has anyone got a recommendation of a set?

Just tell the family that its your house and if you want to listen to your games/br you can!

It's not my family I'm woried about. It's the neighbours. I tend to run fans alot ( it's tropical in here all year 'round ) and then I crank up the volume to compensate.

Eventually it'll piss someone off.

So 5.1 headphones? Anybody?

Just get a nice pair of headphones and use a Dolby Headphone surround sound processor. That way you get the best of both worlds. I have a pair of DT770 Pros that will blow your ears off your head for music. When I want to listen to a movie I have a Sony processor that hooks into the optical output from my DVD player.

I don't listen to music anymore. No time.

That link won't work for me just now.

Are your headphones 5.1 units or just plain old 2 channel?

Plain old 2 channel. Dolby Headphone does all the processing. Download a trial copy of Powerd DVD 7. It will work for 30 days and has Dolby Headphone processing built into it. You can hear the difference for yourself.
