I actually got to borrow one of the first Beyerdynamic Headzones in the country for testing. We've got a cool Beyer-distributor over here.
For those who don't know, the Headzone is Beyers take on surround-sound in headphones. However, they did NOT just add a cheap reverb-box to an existing headphone...
This is the Pro-version, meant for surround-mastering with phones. I don't know the price of this kit, but it might be well over $1000.
You can get digital 5.1 sound via the Firewire connection, or you can use the analog 5.1 connectors.
The headtracking-things work just fine. The center-channel stays where you put the external sensor, even if you turn your head. Quite cool
I haven't tried it much yet, got some problems with a MacBook, but I'll hook it up to my PC and home theater in the days to come.
I guess I can post some impressions if you want.
I can tell you that the DT880 Pro sounds very nice on its own.
Now some pics.
Here's the base station and the DT880 Pro:

The headtracking sensor you put on your TV/Monitor:
It's all packed in a nice softcase:
