I know that Shannon and others here have said that YOU MUST NOT listen to US on headphones at all, so the headphones you suggested can't be used for this, again am i right please?
S7 would be able to play US with no issues. I have the S4 and it does the trick really well. Mono will not be as efficient as stereo, but that's not to say that it won't have any effect at all. On the contrary, it works very well, and, I've had very vivid dreams when I had no other option but to use US on my S4 at night.
True, US on headphones is not recommended because you can have it at a very high volume without your knowledge and damage your ears. But if you're careful and calibrate the volume safely, you're good to go. Lots of the forum members do it. I've tried it myself as well. To calibrate the volume, try the masked ocean track and as long as you're hearing the lowest of the waves very faintly, you should be able to use the US track at that volume level. You can even take it down a notch from that point. For me that's at 20-25% of the device's maximum volume (so 3 or 4 clicks out of 15 on the S4). Again, you have to be very careful with the setup, not to damage your ears. When you try that and feel like your ears are clogged or hurt the next day, you can always take it down a tick.
