Anybody use surround sound headphones with a digital decoder?

Are they any good? Don't want to buy a full surround system.

I've never liked the concept of using virtual speakers to represent front and back sounds.

The ones I keep hearing about are actually cordless Sony headsets like this one :

I have one and its great but only for being wireless, I prefer a speaker setup any day.

When you live in a box that is the only option.

Seen a Koreanbrand called zarman with three speakers in each can. Doesn't have a optical in or a separate decoder

That depends on how big your box is.

I had a simple 2+1 setup and it sounded great as long as I put a big enough distance between left and right speakers to give the surround sound effect. You don't need mega big speakers if you are in a small room.
