Sennheiser's RS65 wireless headphones ($210) are the perfect late-night audio companion, allowing you to crank CDs and DVDs as loud as you want without tying yourself to a cable. But the mellow RS65s will disappoint finicky listeners who crave aggressive, detailed sound.
The RS65s weigh just 5.6 ounces, and their luxuriously padded velour ear cushions make them extremely comfortable. The base, which functions as a transmitter and a charger, houses a spare rechargeable battery, so you can swap out the depleted battery during your movie marathons. (Sennheiser promises four hours per charge.) The base uses a 1/8-inch minijack connector to plug into the headphone output on your receiver or other audio source; a standard 1/4-inch adapter is included as well. A built-in volume control lets you adjust the loudness without getting up from your recliner, and you can add a mild surround effect to CDs and DVDs. Having some guests over for a film festival? If your friends have their own RS65 'phones, they can all connect to your transmitter at the same time.
