Posted March 10, 2017 Looking into wireless headphones as I'll be spending the next couple of years boarding with some friends, and it'd be nice to have something I can just walk around with, or lay on my bed. I've looked at quite a few reviews, and I've narrowed it down to a few different models. Just seeing if anyone here has used any of the models and has had any qualms with them. I'm leaning more towards the Crossfade's because of their customization feature, but all of the headphones listed above tempt me in one way or another. Use: Movies, YouTube. Music - A mix of everything, leaning more towards rock, house, light dubstep. Indoor, at home use. Needs: I'd prefer it had a more premium feel. Good metals, leather, etc. Replaceable batteries would be a plus. Good bass. I'd prefer something more bass heavy than neutral. Plush ear cups. Nicely padded headband. Over ear. Not interested in on ear. Other: It doesn't need to have any portable aspects. Folding, cases, etc. I hate cloth ear cups, so leather/leatherette only. *tips hat* CPU: Ryzen 9 5900 Cooler: EVGA CLC280 Motherboard: Gigabyte B550i Pro AX RAM: Kingston Hyper X 32GB 3200mhz Storage: WD 750 SE 500GB, WD 730 SE 1TB GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 PSU: Corsair SF750 Case: Streacom DA2 Monitor: LG 27GL83B Mouse: Razer Basilisk V2 Keyboard: G.Skill KM780 Cherry MX Red Speakers: Mackie CR5BT MiniPC - Sold for $100 Profit Spoiler CPU: Intel i3 4160 Cooler: Integrated Motherboard: Integrated RAM: G.Skill RipJaws 16GB DDR3 Storage: Transcend MSA370 128GB GPU: Intel 4400 Graphics PSU: Integrated Case: Shuttle XPC Slim Monitor: LG 29WK500 Mouse: G.Skill MX780 Keyboard: G.Skill KM780 Cherry MX Red Budget Rig 1 - Sold For $750 Profit Spoiler CPU: Intel i5 7600k Cooler: CryOrig H7 Motherboard: MSI Z270 M5 RAM: Crucial LPX 16GB DDR4 Storage: Intel S3510 800GB GPU: Nvidia GTX 980 PSU: Corsair CX650M Case: EVGA DG73 Monitor: LG 29WK500 Mouse: G.Skill MX780 Keyboard: G.Skill KM780 Cherry MX Red OG Gaming Rig - Gone Spoiler CPU: Intel i5 4690k Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 Motherboard: MSI Z97i AC ITX RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR3 Storage: Kingston Fury 240GB GPU: Asus Strix GTX 970 PSU: Thermaltake TR2 Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX Monitor: Dell P2214H x2 Mouse: Logitech MX Master Keyboard: G.Skill KM780 Cherry MX Red Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/750041-help-choosing-wireless-headphones/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 10, 2017 I really love the Momentum's, although i actually own a pair of Sony's, but after trying out a pair at a store they sounded great. They have a really comfortable fit, except for the hard leather head band, that really bothers me. Great sound quality though.

It doesn't exactly look comfortable, which is a definite necessity for me. No point in having something that sounds amazing but I can only listen to for short spats I might have to slash those off the list!

Yeah, when I was looking for my headphones, I was tossing up between The Momentum's and Sonys MDR 1RNC's. I ended up going for the Sony's, and they sound awesome, a really well balanced sound stage, although they are not wireless.
