Best Headphones for movies? - Blu-ray Forum

I know there are a scattered few threads on this already, but all of which are dead and very few have posts in, so time to ask again.

What are the best headphones to replicate a cinema experience? I'd love a good surround sound system but it's just not practical for me and although I have an expensive pair of cans if I'm watching a 7.1 film it doesn't handle or process the audio very well at all.

Is there an alternative? A surround sound packaged up in a pair of cans?

What price range?

Don't really want to be paying thousands but a few hundred would be fine.

Your best bet would be either the Sony MDR-DS7500s, the 6500s or the Sony MDR-HW700DS 9.1 headphones. Both the 7500s and the HW700DS come with lossless audio.
