Wireless Headphone Suggestions

@CatLovingCoder I recently bought some headphones and Sennheiser RS160 was the runner-up.  (The one I bought wasn't wireless so I won't mention it.)  I did a lot of reading and watching reviews before I made the purchase.  I even went as far as ordering both pairs.  But I intentionally opened the other one first and returned the RS160 without opening the shipping box.  So, now that I've given my excuse as to why I didn't buy them, I just mean it to point out that what I had learned during my shopping was that the RS160 is a really great closed-back headphone.  

 

They're not bluetooth.  RF instead.

Always been more of a speaker person than an headphone guy so I am a little lost when it comes to the headphones to get for a family member.

 

I am looking for a premium wireless headphone with the following:

  • The budget is $500 USD or less.
  • Comfort is most important.
  • Sound quality is not very important. 
  • On headphone volume adjustment is needed
  • Must be wireless
  • On ear is a requirement

 

 

Also, would love to hear suggestions for a decent PC center speaker with an internal amp.

 

Thanks! :)

Didn't see this reply and went with the RS185, but after HOURS of time researching! Also, I didn't see the RS models on the company website because I missed the blue arrows   :wacko:  

Wow.  High roller.  

 

Have you had much time to use them yet?  How are they???

They have not arrived yet, and they are for my grandfather so I will not get to see them much  <_<

I did not want to chance anything being uncomfortable and have them go unused... like his hearing aids.

I will let you know how they are when they arrive; the build log is here if you are interested: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/328351-build-log-htpc-for-grandparents/
