I would happily try out and report back but I'd have no basis for comparison...
None of the main wireless headphone manufacturers bother selling to Australia except for Sennheiser!

Can you believe it?! Grrr...

Can you get all those models in my finalist list where you are? (surely you can in Dixie)
If there is any of your local stores you should test them all out and post your experiences!?
Just bring one music CD, one Movie CD & walla!

no isure havent but if i remeber correctly the 170 is the same price

i dont have alot of experience with senn, read bad reviewon their 130 and 140

,, i couldnt find the impediance on the 130 140 or 160 oin the website so iassume it is similar, the impediance on the 170 and above or at least 180 and above is 32 ohms, which ifound interesting while comparing that to my sony mdr6000 which is 16 ohms

u cant really test these out at stores even if they have them most times theyre not plugged in, there should be stores around you that have the senn. maybe,, but welcome to the wonderful world of sight un seen and be prepared to take a hit, just make sure u can return on time!

Sorry I meant to say RS170;
One thing that angers me about Senn. is the fact that they removed positional audio from their top-end RS180!

If you want I can email you flyers which go into a little more detail about them.
But they're pretty ****, they just provoked more questions which Senn. reps here still haven't answered after 1mth+.

see my modified post, 4 posts above...

This would really serve to properly forward the debate in this thread if you could go out and do this.
We'd have some real world data to go with, & I could help you though the process...
I would go do the Senn's but what's the point if I don't have the others to compare it to?

Why do you think that is significant?
It's only one part of the equation isn't it?

This is exciting news, please be right! I'm pretty sure I could get these for a lot cheaper than $1k as I have contacts in Japan

 

[RockinCannoisseur]

ill double check but im pretty sure, im not exactly sure why dolby headphones is so limited, maybe pioneer and audio technica own part of the techknowlegy or something, but after you have the dby headphone option its kinda hard to live without for watching tv especially as that is when i only use it, sony have like 2 options that try to compete but its not as good, there is a music option and a movie option
where as with dolby headphone you have 1 2 and 3 and u also have dolby pro logic II with music and movie settings as well as auto function at least on the pioneer 800c but ill bet the audio technica have this as well, if only the audio techncia had a headohone out jack,,but hey have toslink passthru

 

[RockinCannoisseur]

yup it def had dolby headphone, and also i noticed it ahas bass and treble eq!!!!!
AWESOME!!!! that is pretty dang cool, i wish i would have save all themoney from all my wireless cans and tried these,, but who knows they may not sound much better than the sony,,,,,,but a t dw5000 has a 53 mm driver vs 50mm sony,,, not that that means their bettter but ill bet they have a much wider soundstage still to ohigh but that eq option is boss

 

[jalyst]

source please!

I thought dolby headphones was invented to bring positional audio to headphones which are stereo by nature.

Why would you need it for TV which is often only broadcast as stereo?
The source material you'd usually want it for is Games & Movies. *confused* ?

What about my other posts, see them?

Cheers!
