Very Nice Wireless Headphones for Home Theatr!e
Posted by charliegoetze from Overland Park, KS on 2012-10-31Posted on Sony MDR-DS6500 Wireless
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: comfortable, excellent frequency response, both digital and analog connections, great surround sound
Cons: doesn't allow you to run more than one headphone set from a base station you must buy a second base
Excellent headphones! We have two of them because they do not run more than one headset from a base station, so we needed to purchase two complete sets each with a base station to enable two listeners at a time. The Sennheiser RS-170's do not have this problem and can run two or more headsets from one base station, but these Sony's have superior frequency response to the 170's. The Sony's have both digital and analog connections, whereas the 170's do not have digital only analog. Overall we are very happy with the Sony's, but buying two complete sets of them to enable two persons to listen without disturbing the rest of the household was expensive. If you're looking to have two or more people listening I would perhaps recommend you consider the Sennheiser RS 170's where you can buy a second headphone without another base station. The 170's have closed cups for privacy, as do the Sony's. The 170's have decent surround sound mode, but not as good as the Sony's. I tried both the Sony DS6500 and the Sennheiser RS-170's and ultimately chose the Sony's, but the Sennheisers are very nice too if you don't need digital connections and want to enable two listeners without as much expense. You can get digital to analog adapters of course. The sound was the most important consideration and the Sony's won out on that account, although the Sennheisers have an excellent Sennheiser sound quality to them. So I would recommend either headphone the DS6500 or the RS-170's and they both cost about the same.
