Wireless Headset Recommendations

[EarthboundHero]

I'm looking to get a wireless headset so I can sit on my couch and watch movies without disturbing my family. I was looking at the Logitech G930's, but wanted your guy's input. I'd like 7.1 surround but it's not a deciding factor. Thanks.

Pioneer SE-A1000. Cabled, but 18 feet of it. Don't let the open back scare you off, it shouldn't disturb unless you listen at stupid volumes.

I probably should've added that I don't want cables because I literally always trip over them. I have a 30' extension cable, if I need it.

Sennheizer wireless headphones are a great option IMO.

Agreed, if wireless is a must.

The RS-120s are the only ones in my price range, you have any experience with these?

They sound decent, better than the MDR-RF985RK, but aren't too comfortable, because of their super aurel design.

This is true, but he doesn't seem to have a use for a mic.

Then there is no point to buying a headset.

 

btw nice Sennheiser HD598 review.

If you are sensitive to hiss, then you may want to stay away from analog wireless headphones (~900MHz band). They are like analogue cordless phones, they are prone to noise.

 

Check out 2.4GHz wireless headsets. Budget AptX capable Bluetooth headphones like the MEE Air-Fi Matrix2 are worth a look.

Why wouldn't I use a mic?

The way you described your criteria/needs, didn't include a microphone requirement. 

To me, it looks like you want a good pair of headphones that are wireless to watch movies. You also want "7.1 surround". 7.1 and 5.1 surround etc, is just marketing for headphones. If a pair of headphones don't have "7.1" surround, will you only hear audio a difference in left and right channel? No. Maybe you should include what else you'd be using the headset or headphones for, gaming, music etc.

Yeah, sorry I would also be using them for gaming, and maybe video calls.

I hate hiss but I can get over it if the qulaity is good enough. No one's shown me a headset that is as good as the G930 yet though, which is 2.4GHz.

Sennheiser RS 160 cans perhaps?

For a reasonable price, I think the only wireless headset is the Corsair V2100.

I've read reviews saying the Astro A50, Skullcandy PLYR1 and SteelSeries H Wireless are worth the investiment but I can't quite believe that.

i have the Vengeance 2100 and they work great as long as you are in the same room, virtual 7.1 is nice but you need the windows drivers (not necessary, i use them with my android phone with a otg cable), there is a slight hiss to them but they cut off when there is no sound, the on-cup volume control is a killer feature and i cant live without it anymore.

For the price, definitely not when there are much better options from Sennheiser.

But I don't think there's a wireless headset from Sennheiser...is there?

Not wireless headsets, just headphones. You could get a wireless lav mic for example.

Oh okay. I was gonna say "does that work with consoles?" but I confused myself and the OP doesn't need it to work with consoles I believe.

 

Yeah, I have used the RS 160 it's pretty badass tbh!

Wouldn't be too sure, don't own a console. I was just saying that Sennheiser's wireless audio solutions were better at that budget. But the Corsair 2100 is pretty good for $100.
