    Need stealth/discreet earbuds for work.

    Bumping this old thread.... it's 5 years old and wondering if there were any updated recommendations for this issue.  I'd be using it to listen mostly to voice... football games on Sundays and perhaps audio novels on other days, so audio quality isn't a priority.  I do need to be able to hear...

    [Pictorial Review] Head-Direct's RE2

    I only found out about the combo with the E5 AFTER I bought the RE2 alone... Still I'm very happy with the purchase. With the big price cut there are some differences in design... it's now got a nylon cord (just comparing it to the pics in the original thread), but they sound great...

    Getting dolby headphone output with mkv file?

    I have zoom player and PowerDVD... Can you play mkv with PowerDVD? I don't have much experience configuring codecs. Where do I get the dolby headphone plug in for zoom player?

    I'm buying 5.1 Surround Headphones - Any Suggestions?

    I have the Pioneer SE-DIR800C and I love them, but it's just Dolby Headphone processing with a great pair of wireless headphones. They're great for watching movies because they have a open, out of your head feel, so you almost always forget you're listening to headphones. None of the other...

    Headphones for working out

    I need to get a good set of headphones for working out. Should have these features: Should do a good job of isolating music so I don't have to hear the annoying pop techno music they play at the club I work out at. Obviously can't be closed headphones because the insides would get all sweaty...

    Pioneer SE-DIR800C Dolby Headphones

    It uses Dolby Headphone. I haven't heard DH through a high end set of headphones other than these, so I can't say if this is any better. But since I already own a HT reciever that doesn't have DH processing, it made sense to get this which packaged a DD/DTS/DH processor with a high end pair of...

    Pioneer SE-DIR800C Dolby Headphones

    Well, I finally went ahead and got these not long after posting. I must say, they are fantastic! Don't believe anyone who tells you surround sound can't be produced through headphones. If you're one of those people, don't comment until you've watched and listened to the opening scene of Saving...

    Best closed ear headphones for around $50 or less...

    I need recommendations. It will be primarily used for watching movies with Dolby Headphones processing but all around use would be a plus. The cord should be at least 10 feet. I got this budget in mind because I'm looking to make an exchange, but wouldn't mind going higher for an exceptional pair.

    Pioneer SE-DIR800C Dolby Headphones

    Just bumping hoping for a response. Has no one used these? Another model that has come up is the Philips SBC-HD1500, though I can't seem to find as many reviews of these, and I've only seen them on sale on ebay.
