the only reason i opted for hphones is out of courtesy for those that i live with.
you'll get great sound from a woofer box and surround speakers.
as to which one (surround) to get i dont know.
i started to look at conventional surround systems - i wunda whether they are better/comparable for price/performance to the creative/logitech type ones.... vs sony/pioneer/onkyo/kenwood/etcetcetcetc.
good conventional speakers can cost a bomb. - you'd need at least 4 plus maybe a woofer imo - cost a fortune.
if you want real sound you have to go for speakers.
most high quality headphones need an amp also; although some are specially designed so they dont really need one.
my ad700's are nice (<~ ad900's re above) & work well imo without any extra amp.
some models have low ohm versions (ie do not require extra amp)
whereas the higher ohm/ high end phones require more amplification.
i now use unamplified ad700's for the computer and use senny's for classical/other music with an amp.
the beyers i have are very good for rock/pop type music....where the sennys sound a bit tinny.
but all phones are different...some pump up the bass; some are tinny; some are balanced, etc etc.
