Which headphones are best for watching movies?

The best headphones for watching movies typically offer a wide soundstage, clear dialogue, and immersive surround-like audio. Open-back headphones, such as the HIFIMAN Edition XS or Sennheiser HD 600, are favorites for home theater use due to their spacious, natural sound.

If you prefer a closed-back design for better isolation, options like the Sony WH-1000XM5 or Focal Bathys deliver great clarity with powerful bass and noise cancellation. For planar magnetic enthusiasts, models like the Sivga P2 Pro or Audeze LCD-X offer rich detail and cinematic depth, making every scene feel larger than life.
