Is there any recomendations on any surround sound headphones. The headphones I have now are cheap come with ten dollar cd player ones.

As YOyo's link indicates, "surround sound headphones" are gimmicks.

1. What's your budget?
2. What kind of headphone do you want? (clip-on, behind-the-head, over-the-head headphones with pads that sit on top of your ears, over-the-head headphones with pads that sit around your ears)
3. Do you want any isolation (noise blocking)?

So should I get A good pair of over-the-head headphones with pads that sit around your ears thats works with mp3 players and computers.

Surround sound headphones are horrible. Try a pair of Sennheiser HD 555s
