Review summary Aside from one annoyance when using digital audio sources, Acoustic Research AWD510 is a solid set wireless headphones for using in the home. The Pioneer SE-DIR800C noise-free wireless headphones are the first we've seen to feature Dolby Headphone processing--and they sound great. Panasonic's RP-WH5000 luxury wireless headphones beat out most--but not all--cordless competitors. The RS130s are Sennheiser's best wireless headphones to date. Sennheiser's affordable, comfortable wireless headphones sound almost as good as corded 'phones.
