Listening to movies via headphones?

Does anyone do/prefer this? I live in a flatshare in a urban neighbourhood and frequently get told off by my neighbours so I'm thinkng about buying a decent set of headphones to watch movies on.

Thanks

(Not sure if this is the right forum, mods please move if appropiate.)

Not entirely the right forum either :P You should try visiting Head-Fi.org: Headphones, iPod earphones, portable audio, MP3 players, high-end audio . Lots of headphone experts there that could help you select a suitable headphone and what headphone amp to go with it

On a sidenote , you should also differentiate between headphones available for example headphone (traditional) , iems= in ear headphone as well as 'ear speakers' such as the famed (and my personal favourite) AKG 1000.

Leon,

While I can just about see (If I squint),where you are coming from,your question
would be better served in the "Headphones and Headphone Amps", forum.
