Hiya. Firstly, whats your budget, and do you want a mic built in ? How good do you want the sound quality ?

Best route ive found, if you dont mind not having a mic, is optical out from your elite to a surround decoder that does dolby headphone, then plug any decent set of headphones in, or use wireless ones.

5.1 Headphone Surround Sound Showdown: Pioneer Se-dir2000c Vs Philips Sbc-hd1500u!!

See above for more info. I have the Pioneers, love them. If you're not worried too much about sound quality but want a mic then look at the Tritton Ax360, or sharkoon.
