I have had a couple of movies that allowed me to choose Dolby Headphone and a few more 2 channel. listening always seemed better with these two choices than when not having the choice at all.
what is it about these surround sound recordings listened through 2 channel that makes them sound like they are loosing out?

I really wouldn't worry about it, as long as you have a good headphone matched up to an excellent amp and Dac. You will be blown away by the results. Connect the digital out from the DVD player and off you go. You will be surprised to know that in the majority of films there is little surround information. It's only in those blockbuster nonsense that relies on surround sound and special effects to cover up the fact that the story is a disaster. The more I listen to Dolby Headphone the more I know that it's wrong and I'll go one further and say deceptive.
