Surround sound headphones are in great demand these days. They are used with MP3 players and DVDs to provide a realistic surround sound and are a must for any serious home theater.

These headphones come with special sound processors that simulate a 3-D sound environment. This is different from most headphones that simply play back the music or other recording. The sound you get is similar to that of surround sound speakers, however it is not quite as realistic as 2 speakers on your ears can never recreate the sounds you would hear from a multi speaker surround sound system set up in your home.

There are three types of surround sound headphone technologies that are in wide demand. These include SRS headphones, Dolby headphones and Smyth research. The Sennheiser RS 130 wireless headphones are rechargeable and have high quality reception. Moreover, the range is up to 150 meters, and they have great design and are light weight.

The Sony Rf wireless headphone has transmission ranges up to 100. There is virtual surround sound of 5.1 and NiMH battery. Moreover, it has 20 Hz to 20 kHz of frequency that helps in providing quality sound.

If you are in the market for headphones, you'll want to be sure they are comfortable, especially if you plan to spend hours on end wearing them. You want to buy headphones that have ample padding so they are comfortable on your ears. You also want to get ones that have an adjustable headband as well. Also, consider cord length as well as the size of the receiver output for a perfect match.

Surround sound headphones can be the next best thing to cranking up your speakers and getting real 3-D sound and they can certainly be a good choice if you don't want to disturb your roomates or neighbors with your big home theater sound.
