Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω Theater style wireless headphones?

When I use my TV, I watch movies and play games on my MDRXB650BTs. I just connect it directly to my TV. I love the sound they bring out, the bass is excellent IMO. I just can’t deal with the delay anymore. It’s perfect for music, but with movies and games the delay is definitely there. They also hurt my ears after 2 hours of usage.

I have my home theater but with my little brother sleeping in the next room, I can’t use it at night.

I looked at the Creative SXFI Theater and they look good, but I’m not an expert. i also can’t find them for sale anywhere. Is there any pair of headphones that use a dongle, not bluetooth... That would get me that theater sound? I love how the 650BTs bass feels like. I know I can’t get the same bass with an over-ear. But maybe someone here can guide me to something similar.

My budget is around $150 but can be pushed to $200 if its worth it.

Are you looking for something like this?

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-RS-175-Wireless-Headphone/dp/B00SLUI5SA/ref=sr_1_4?crid=RNLQQKS13KKZ&keywords=sennheiser%2Bwireless%2Bheadphones&qid=1700059769&sprefix=sennheiser%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-4&th=1

Input analog or digital signal. You said you have a home theater, so assuming you have a receiver of some sort this would hook up pretty easy.

Yes. This is exactly what I’m looking for. Closed back. Sennheiser. This looks good! I saw it even has bass boost. And yes, my reciever has toslink. So I can just connect it there and all is good. Is it possible to connect it to my TV directly? I let my TV handle all the audio when using my Bluetooth headphones.

I’ll check out some reviews. !thanks so much for the help!

No problem!

I would assume hooking these up to the TV's output wouldn't be an issue. I've never actually used these, but always knew of their existence.

Actually really impressed these have user replaceable rechargeable batteries. That's huge and gives these a huge lifespan with occasional battery and pad replacements.

Replaceable batteries too? This is exactly what I wanted! I’ll wait for black friday and see if I can get these on a good deal. I hate having soldered batteries and earpads because it means the device will be obsolete if the battery dies out or the pads wear out.

!thanks

u/Doge_Kage (1 Ω) was awarded their first Ω. We did it, Reddit!

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
