    Any suggestions for light headphones, which sound good at low volumes and well as medium?

    What kind of budget do you have in mind? Would you consider earphones?

    P.S. I am moving this thread to the Accessories section.

    Not looking for to spend hundreds. I have earphones, but the volume out of 9262 is too loud. I would be listen to DVDs and games.

    For DVD's and Games ..the Sennheiser HD555 is perfect....great soundstage..and great impact for movies..although impact aint great off the pack..but after 50 hours of usage..the bass improves a lot.

    it costs less than $100 now.

    The Denon D1000/D1001 are also worth looking at, they can be had for around $100.

    I use to be familar with Sennheiser, but not Denon.
    Can you wear them for hours at a time without them feeling too heavy?
