    what i do is get yamaha AV receivers second hand from gumtree / ebay
    they have 'silent cinema' which is their own virtual surround sound for headphones - i find it better than dolby atmos software on my pc
    i then connect any headphones (again get good quality from ebay or gumtree) and then i have the best audio set up around

    what ports does your tv have? if it has optical out you can get an old turtle beach virtual surround sound device that takes optical and turns into virtual surround sound on headset. if you just had a standard 3.5mm output you're only going to output stereo and it would be upmixing it

    you're best getting output into a receiver via hdmi and plugging headphones into that

    yamaha is the best for that in my research
