Dolby Headphone Amp?

[Rock&Roll Ninja]

Does anyone manufacture a stand-alone headphone amp that features Dolby Headphone? I know most AVRs have it, but I would prefer not to lug a 20+ pound box around with me when I want to watch a movie with my 'cans....

Unless they are all over $500, in which case I'll suffer with a cheaper heavier AVR.

Perhaps I'm exposing my ignorance, but what are "Dolby Headphones"? (nt)

Inquiring mind(s) want to know.

I know of only one: AKG Hearo 999

It's $499 -- so technically it is not over $500. LOL!

It's a processing mode, not a physical product.

Nice, but I'm more intrested in a product that allows me to use my existing wired headphones.

I've seen several models on Ebay, but they all require their own extra-crappy headsets......

The Hearo 999 I linked.... it only works with wired headphones.... and you can plug in any headphone that you like.

Oops! I think I accidently opened a link to the 888's, which are wireless...

Yes, and he's looking for a product that offers the processing mode.

No, the original poster was looking for a product. The person that I quoted wanted to know what Dolby Headphones were. I believe I correctly answered his question because he hasn't posted a reply saying otherwise.
