The Bottom Line	The Sony MDR-DS4000s are simply the quietest and best-sounding wireless headphones we've tested to date.	The Pioneer SE-DIR800C noise-free wireless headphones are the first we've seen to feature Dolby Headphone processing--and they sound great.	The RS130s are Sennheiser's best wireless headphones to date.	Panasonic's RP-WH5000 luxury wireless headphones beat out most--but not all--cordless competitors.	Sennheiser's affordable, comfortable wireless headphones sound almost as good as corded 'phones.
