Portable DVD players have taken another step down the long road towards recreating the feel of being in an actual cinema.

Simply plug the JVC-Victor Headphone Surround Adaptor into the headphone jack on your DVD player and it will deliver a virtual surround sound experience to your standard stereo headphones. The SU-DH1 currently supports movies encoded with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS-ES and MPEG-2 AAC, but also has Dolby Pro Logic II built in, which can expand stereo content to 5.1-channels making it great for in-flight movies or portable game systems.

The Victor SU-DH1 is powered by 2 AA batteries which provide approximately 10 hours of use. It will be available in March 2006 and will sell for about $130.
