OT - Wireless Headphones For Watching TV/Movies

oldgeezeystax

30 seconds after I fired up Mr Robot s3.e1, I get a text from wifey (sleeping), "what are you watching, it's loud"...

I moved a recliner close to the tv and spend the next ~55min feathering the volume whenever a loud scene came on, struggling to hear dialogue the whole time.

I am considering putting together a humble office/theater room downstairs with 5.1 but in the meantime, can anyone recommend decent wireless headphones that won't break the bank? https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wireless-home-theater-headphones/ ??

I have these Sonys. The noise canceling isn't quite as good as the Bose but I like the sound they produce better.

Same here.  Helps that the TV and the bed are about 50 feet apart with two rooms inbetween.

Yeah you would think the 21 month old would be the issue...

On second thought, this will just give me a kick in the ass to get started on / finish the theater space downstairs.

I have these and have been very happy for the price.

My 80 year old dad just bought a Sony set. He loves them and so does my mom because now the volume doesn't blast her out of the house!

Get some remastered beats, about half the price and awesome bass for more realistic sound quality. Also Bose is awesome but the bass won’t go as deep so you’ll miss out on some of the explosion/sound effects

on a side note, you may have to own Apple TV to use beats like that...
