FYI

I usually just lurk but I thought this might interest you guys.

cut and pasted the following.
No need to get yourself a honking new set of headphones for surround sound listening, just check out the new JVC SU-DH1 surround sound headphone adapter, which uses Dolby Headphone technology to give you 5.1-channel surround sound through any two-channel headphones. Weighing only 3.5 oz, it uses 2 AA batteries and can connect to a laptop, portable DVD player, handheld video game system or any other portable product you may have with you. And the Dolby technology gives you virtual surround from anything encoded with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS-ES and MPEG-2 AAC—even Dolby Pro Logic II. With three different modes, you can replicate a smaller room, a larger, more typical listening area or a theatre or concert hall type environment. Good show. Comes with an analog input cord and an optical digital mini jack for use with an optional connecting cord. Out in March for $130.

nerd alert but this might be good for gaming. Halo in particular is a good game with surround sound. if this thing works ok then knowing if fire is coming from in front or behind would be helpfull.

If you'd go to gizmodo you'll see that creative may have one-upped that JVC thing. Lighten up, at least my first thread wasn't a complete dud.
