Thanks for this. I actually hardly ever watch TV, we just watch blu-ray movies. Regular TV, when we do watch, is not a problem. We can keep the volume down.

The problem is movies with LFE and sub-woofer.

So, if we fell asleep with cans on, it wouldn't be a huge problem as the movie would shut off.

But after a couple of nights with my headphone setup, I am very, happily, impressed. My wife agrees, and she always states she is not an audiophile. But what we both notice, is that the dialog is AMAZINGLY more clear with the phone set-up than it was with speakers. I know with speakers we were often pushing the volume in order to understand the dialog. Now, while it is not possible to measure, we THINK that possibly we are listening at lower volume levels than before.

And this is with relatively inexpensive electronics.
