Product Review

Great Urban Home Theater Headphones

by   toddly6666 ,   Mar 16, 2008

Pros:  Awesome DD 5.1/DTS (it's not pseudo-surround!), good option if you live in city

Cons:  None so far

The Bottom Line:  Excellent technology! I recommend it even to people who don't even want home theater headphones!

Overall Rating: 5/5 stars
 

Author's Review

After researching all the other options (Pioneer SE-DIR800C, Sennheiser, hard-to-find Korean/Japanese imports, older Sony versions, even wired home theater headphones), I narrowed it down to the Sony MDR-DS6000 Wireless headphones - and i'm just blown away by this technology! I've listened to good regular quality stereo headphones (such as Bose), but these Sony headphones make a huge difference.

Over the past 5 years I've had different forms of home theater audio systems - wired surround sound home theater system, Soundmatters Mainstage virtual surround sound speaker, and now these wireless surround sound speakers. I would now rate these Sony wireless headphones slightly below a normal surround sound speaker setup only due to the tame bass within the headphones. I'm not saying that the bass is poor - these headphones actually do have a perfectly acceptable amount of bass action which I was impressed with - but they are obviously no comparison to a real subwoofer. So it's not really fair to compare the headphone bass to a floor-shaking subwoofer. Other than that, the surrounds actually do sound like an actual surround sound system. And the non-action, subtle dialogue scenes in a movie actually outperform the audio quality of a regular home theater system. I've been testing many DVDs (such as Gladiator, Matrix Reloaded, The Warlords, Return of the King) with the DD 5.1 option versus the DTS option, and so far, they sound pretty even, maybe the DTS sounds a tiny bit louder, but other than that, there's not an obvious difference between the DD 5.1 and DTS. But they both equally rock!

Another great thing about these headphones is that I live in a thin-walled apartment building in NYC with apartments below, above, and next to mine. I was warned that the RF headphones are prone to interference such as cell phones and microwaves. So I took a chance after reading another positive "city" review of these headphones, and I got lucky! No interference at all, no break-ups. Just perfect so far. Maybe earlier RF models were more sensitive? I don't know. But these Sony MDR-DS6000 work perfect if you live in the city.

The only other headphone feature that I can think of when watching DVDs is that there is an EFFECT option on these headphone base - you can click it to OFF, CINEMA, and MUSIC (for CDs). I've been testing movies with the CINEMA EFFECT on and off - and I think that the CINEMA effect is the way to go when watching movies. The audio does sound slightly better with this option chosen - the audio expands and the spoken-dialogue scenes do sound better as if in a movie theater.
