surround sound headphone advice please!

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
i've been clicking around looking at surround sound headphone set ups.

i'm looking at the JVC SU-DH1 Surround Headphone Adapter.

are there anymore worthy adapters, or good surround sound headphone set ups.

i remember trying the sennheiser adapter many years ago and it was o.k. but not fabulous.

any help, advice or experience would be welcome.

The only virtualizer that can be obtained cheaply that is any good is Dolby Headphone, for which the JVC box is a good choice. Pair it with a good quality headphone with good imaging for optimum results.

Note that you can also do DH in software, at least if you run Windows. I haven't compared the result to a hardware implementation yet... how much are these JVC boxes already? :-)

most modern recievers have dolby headphone that give good results
but it still is hard to beat a good binaural recording for headphones.
