Sony MDR-DS6000 Headphones Review - Intro

 

The Sony MDR-DS6000 headphones are a set of wireless headphones with digital surround sound. They also offer compression (so you don't get deafened when the loud bits come on) and music and cinema modes that tweak the sound. This base station requires...

These headphones are well designed and look sharp.; These headphones control leakage well, so your music will be kept private; Wireless connectivity and digital surround sound.; The extra features (such as surround sound support) are interesting

The base station is a bit cumbersome.; We saw some distortion and a weak frequency response at the high end ; These headphones are really limited to in-home use by their large base station and dependence on external power.; The extra features don't...

The Sony MDR-DS6000 headphones bring wireless, surround sound cans to the home theater scene, but the price is steeper price than we'd like. These headphones seem to be aimed at a movie-watching audience, who will value the surround sound and not...

Sony MDR-DS6000

 

Experience great tunes and no wires

Sony MDR-DS6000 is a comfortable pair of wireless headphones that comes with excellent bass quality. It includes a surround sound support feature

Sony MDR-DS6000

 

A scientific, in-depth analysis with side-by-side comparisons

While the DS6000s seem to mesh best with the mainstream home DVD-watching demographic, at $300 they seems to be priced a bit high. These are well worth considering if you’re in the market for a set of wireless headphones, but it’s also worth bearing in...

Worthless if you use wifi

 

After searching for a while, I bought these headphones. The sound quality is ok for the few seconds at a time that anything comes through. The range is good for a bout 6 to 8 feet realistically. Anything beyond that it cuts out constantly. If there is...

Interferes with WiFi Routers - otherwise 5 stars

 

These headphones are great, but have a very serious flaw in that they interfere with WiFi routers which share the same 2.4 Ghz channels.

Great Surround Sound, No Hiss, Easy Optical Setup

Interferes with WiFi Routers, No Manual Wireless Channel Selection

The best of the best!

 

I searched everywhere and the Sony MDR-DS60000 was finally concluded to be the one I wanted; Superb sound, excellent range, and able to listen to just about every type of sound and quality; The best for either "movie theater surround" or "music"...

Sound quality; Reliable; Top of the line

A little tight headband fit; Price could be lowered

Very Nice Clear Sound and no hiss :)

 

Sounds great but it does interupt my wireless modem when it is on. Is there anything we can do to keep it from doing that?

2.4GHZ allowing me to go anywhere in the house
