Good headphones for movies

[krkevin]

I want to simulate a theater experience as much as possible without actually buying home theater stuff. I am able to watch 2D/3D movies on my Gear VR with suprisingly high quality (aside from dark scenes), but the audio just doesn't match up with the apple earpods I have. I was wondering whats a good pair of headphones that are similar to theater quality sound.

Theater quality sound is a hard thing to define. Especially with headphones. A good suggestion would be something like the HD598CS. It's a good balanced sound across the range, it's closed back, and it can be driven easily enough by a regular headphone jack without needing an amp but can also benefit from an amp if you want to go that route.
