  2. Watching SBS 3D movies on a Mixed Reality headset

    Is there any way to view SBS3D movies on a mixed reality headset? The headset itself works well, I can't find any way to vie the movies. I can play them with the Movies app, but they don't show up as 3d. Any suggestions?

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Cannot view movies through a virtual headset :p
