I have a pair of the Sennheiser HD-595's. Since I work nights most of the time my schedule has made these headphones a necessity on my days off. I've watched many movies with these things on my head and yes, the Dolby Headphone feature works remarkably well.
But do yourself a favor, take bestbangs's lead and go out there. Gather all the information you can and test drive what you can.
