| Headphone recommendation for use with Dolby Headphone
Hi guys,
So I think the best option for me to enjoy movies is with a Dolby Headphone adapter (i.e. the JVC unit, unless I see a review of the Creative unit that makes it as good as...) and a good set of cans.
I'm happy with buying second hand (have bought from Head-Fi before with no problems), and I reckon I have... I dunno, £60ish to spare. I have a pair of Sennheiser 25SPs but I don't think they're great. However, a few key points:
1. They will be used predominantly for movies, seldom for music. This in mind I want ear-shatteringly good explosions and whatnot!
2. Following on from this, do I want a pair of closed cans?
3. This is perhaps the most important bit, I am allergic to microfibre/foam/velour/velvet type material, so the pads *have* to be leather/leatherette. This seems to knock out a few manufacturers (Grado, Sennheiser?), so who should I be looking at? AKG? Audio Technica?
Any advice/recommendations really welcome. Cheers!
