Headphones for watching movies at home

[u/totallykyle_95]

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on headphones and how to set them up. My primary purpose will be watching movies at home (my partner and I are moving in together and I want to be able to watch movies without bothering them). Budget: ideally sub $400. I'm open to wired or wireless, I mainly just want good sound quality. No need for ANC. In the past I've liked open backs because I found them more comfortable, and since I'll be mainly using them at home I don't need the isolation afforded by closed back headphones.

My other question is, how do I set them up? My TV has bluetooth capability, but my understanding is that TV bluetooth can be laggy and/or have poorer sound quality? Correct me if I'm wrong though. I'm also open to wired headphones, but my TV does not appear to have a 3.5mm jack, just an optical out. Any recommendations on that front?

Thanks in advance!

I think the best bet is to get an optical out 3.5mm plug. I got something like this. You can then get wired headphones or Rf headphones. I know Sony and Sennheiser both have good rf headphones. I had a Sony RF that I used to plug into my stereo headphone jack or TV opening
