Your gonna love these, completely wireless, and you dont have to worry about what WAP protocol it transmits through the air as.

^ Wow! Now that beats everything else! I'm stunned... Happy New Year!

Thanks, but no thanks.
Useful idea for certain applications...

But I want to pull content from the HTPC/NAS/NET or live TV/Cable.
Not just whatever I've dumped onto an SD card.

I'm not sure what you mean could you please clarify?
Thanks.

That's a good point, the kleer IC is locked in to a few different ranges.
I believe the RS 160 is shorter range like the w-1...

I guess I'm interested also in a IEM Vs open circumaural debate too.
All things being equal reception-wise...

But that's a big difference as stands WRT to SA6 + W-1 Vs RS 180.

Unless they worked miracles with the Sleek W-1 Kleer, it was subpar sound quality. Entirely too much hissing and "EEEEEEEE" buzzing noise for IEM's.

I avoid wireless. I'd rather use better cable management and use an ultraportable DAP like the Sansa Clip+. Less of a compromise on sound quality, and the ability to change tracks, volume, etc.

Thanks,

I'm still getting/got a good wired set-up for when I want/need it.
But I'm still interested in peoples thoughts on the best wireless.

 

[jalyst]

what's people thoughts on open circumaural Vs IEMs...
or do you think one would be hard-pressed to pick SQ differences regardless the content because of the fact that it's wireless?

Of these two best stereo wireless set-ups (that I'm aware of), which would you pick and why?

 

[Modifiedz]

You have been a member here for a while. Dont you use Headphones/IEM's. Which one do you like better?

 

[jalyst]

I have never used IEM's unfortunately...

 

[jalyst]

Have you used both types?
Do both form-factors generally have different strengths with different content, if so what are those differences?*

Or are IEM's better all-round IYO?
I'll be using them mostly in an environment where there's minimal ambient noise if that helps.


*aside from obvious ones like less isolation & more leakage for open circumaurals.

 

[jalyst]

Anyone care to comment on the last post or the OP?
There hasn't actually been much debate centred around that.
Thanks all.

Well this has been an entirely ****-house thread...
No posts usefully addressing the OP & subsequent ones except for one or two.
Thanks to those that did make some useful posts.

I've noticed that there's a huge difference in range abilities between the W-1 and the RS170/180.

W-1 is only 18.29M, whereas 170 = 80m and the 180 = 100m.
These figures are line-of-sight of course, and in real world terms will be much less.

But a 4/5-fold distance advantage is not insignificant when there's many potential causes for signal deterioration in the the avg home.
So irrespective of the IEM Vs open circumaural debate, I think this cannot be overlooked!

I'll probably buy the SA6 later anyway (without W-1 initially), just to try my 1st IEM's.
But for the time being it's a toss-up between 180 or 170...

Thanks again.

Isn`t the Sleek CT6 compatible  with the w1 reciever? Don`t think kleer generates any hiss at all. If it hisses it`s is probably the source and not the kleer headset transmitter. My rs180 dont hiss with my ipod but it hisses with my computer, but thats the computers fault.
