I am thinking of getting some good 5.1 headphones to hook up to my PS3 for both gaming and Bluray movies.

My requirements are good sound, bass and a realistic 5.1 effect. Also I would like to be able to sit with them about 10 to 12 feet from the PS3. Budget is flexible until I find out more.

Polk Atrium 7s on the patio just to keep my foot in the door.

    How set are you on the whole 5.1 thing? If it were me, I'd rather spend the money on pair of good traditional 2.0 headphones.

    Well I have a good pair of headphones already but how do I hook them up? The PS3 doesn;t have a headphone input...? or am I missing something?
