Pioneer Wireless Headphones

Pros: Very comfortable. Excellent sound. 3 inputs. 2 outputs.

Cons: Price $249 at etronics. But better than $399 most places.

Summary: I finally put down the $249 for these phones in anticipation of very late nights playing xbox 360 with good sound.

I have a set of so called surround ear phones from panasonic. I also have tried Sony and other brands which claim surround sound. I was very doubtful if there was such a thing as sorround sound in a pair of earphones. Especially dolby digital, DTS, or pro logic.

These earphones changed my mind immediately after listening to some movies built for sound such as the Star Wars saga and Toy story.

All I could do was sit on my couch with a smile on my face. The sound was absolutely amazing from the movies using digital input. The analog input signal from regular TV was also decent.

The minijack for wired phones allowing simultaneous listening with both wired and wireless is a nice bonus in order to injoy late night movies or games with a friend without waking the wife. My wired phones even sounded better after plugging into the transmitter.

It still amazes me how these earphones can simulate very accurate 5.1 surround. After watching Star Wars for a little while last night I forgot I was wearing the comfortable phones and actually tried to turn down my 5.1 surround reciever with the remote. I began smiling again when I realized the reciever was not on.
