Wireless Surround Headphones for Movie

Recommended Posts

At the recent comex, I bought the RS170 (full set including transmitter) and a pair of RS180 (cans only) for $688.

 

Overall, the sound quality of RS170 is great and i can't really hear any hissing sound or interference. It passes through 2 walls alright but i experience dropouts through 3 walls.

 

Its quite comfortable and light, watched 3 episodes of 24 without feeling fatigue.

 

I have yet to do an A-B comparison with the RS180. Was told the RS170 more for movies and RS180 for music. Haven't really tried it. Will update once I have run-in the cans.

 

1 thing to note, I find the pairing, setup complicated, esp when one need to add additional pairs of cans. nevertheless, it beats having x2 3.5m wires running from AVR and TV whenever my wife and myself wants to watch movies without disturbing the kids from their sleep.

Good that you are happy with it.. I went to stereo to try out the headphones a month ago, intending to buy, but in the end walk away with HD650 instead and a month later upgrade to stax. find that wired still beats wireless by a wide margin, but the convenience of cos can't be beat...

 

the RS170 and 180 have no static which is a good improvement to what i recall about wireless headphones a decade ago, but best u check out the SQ if it is to your standard.
