Another what surround sound home cinema closed cans thread

Hi chaps, I know this has probably been covered before! I'm after a closed pair of cans for in bed home cinema night viewing....

The Pioneer SE-DIR2000C would obviously be my primary choice, but they are a little too expensive for the minute and I don't like the idea of getting stung for import duty and then there's the warranty issue.

Are there any other good ones?

· Must be closed cans.

· Don't necessarily have to be wireless, but would be nice.

· 5.1 would be good.

Thanks

Re: Another what surround sound home cinema closed cans thread

N.B. I cannot guarantee UK availability (I have not checked, so either discount or consider importing)

There are others;
Pioneer SE-DIR800, SE-DIR1000, SE-DIR2000 and Philips SBC-HD1500U
Audio Technica ATH-DWL5000

And maybe research something like the JVC Surround headphone adaptor which allows you to plug normal 2.0 headphones in

Or something with big soundstage and imaging such as
Ultrasone 2500
