The Bottom Line	Sony's entry-level wireless, surround-sound headphones are an attractive option for late-night movie watchers who don't want to wake the neighbors.		The Pioneer SE-DIR800C noise-free wireless headphones are the first we've seen to feature Dolby Headphone processing--and they sound great.	The Sony MDR-DS4000s are simply the quietest and best-sounding wireless headphones we've tested to date.	The RS130s are Sennheiser's best wireless headphones to date.
