To be honest, I'd kill for a wireless headset right now. I'm back to just wanting ultimate convenience. If the Skullcandy Plyr 1 had bigger cups, I'd just rebuy those. What even is out there that could fit that criteria nowadays? I've been so gone from the headset game, I have no clue what is out there.

Maybe I'll just get a Plyr 2, and hook it up to the X7 now that the optical out send SBX. Plyr 2 is cheaper than Plyr 1, and I don't need redundancy of surround dsps.

You should never have gotten rid of your 5.8. Sure, going completely wireless is the ultimate convenience, but having only the Boompro going from headphones to wireless unit is pretty convenient itself. Of course, the USB PS chat cable would be needed for such a clean setup.

Without needing an attached Mic the RS 185 and RS 195 on the X7 stomp all other wireless solutions. I prefer the RS 185 due to its openness and naturally bigger stage. Comfort is top notch, there is simply no pressure on top, on the sides, nor is there a loose headphone on your head. 
 
SQ wise you have disadvantages due to not having a dedicated amp but I prefer it to the 598, easily, albeit not having had a direct comparison and going from memory. Wireless is a compromise but those two really make a difference in the market.

Would it work on console that way? Either or, I'd need a mic (as you mention) so that would kill it for me. Main reason I keep avoiding the X7 and any other DSP is I'm not a big fan of cables running across the living room from my TV to the couch. The 5.8, no matter how inferior, avoids all of that without compromising chat options.

You can always plug a lapel mic into the controller.

I don't even want a 5.8 solution. I want completely wireless.

Nah, tried that before. My controller needs to be free of any wires, very annoying.

Sennheiser should've just made a Game One wireless by now.

@Rosmadi Mahmood
 
Given how good your RS185 and RS 195 turned out, can you pass the idea of an open-back wireless headset (with mic and chat compat. for PS4/Xbox One/PC) to the R&D team? 

 

[Change is Good]

Nice! Now, who do we tag for a new wireless DSP to use with regular headphones? Haha

I cringe while saying this, it was the ****ty quality and the ridiculous price tag of these that resulted in me finding this site in the first place but, the turtle beach elite 800x or just 800 if on ps4 are completely wireless if nothing else... or the new astros coming out in august are going to be a similar setup, base stattion and wireless headset.

If all other wireless solutions fail You can always buy the A50 and put beyerdynamic DT770 32ohm drivers in them.

Thanks for this thread. It's helped a lot in choosing headphones!

Guys the ultimate Game Audio virtualization device has arrived, the Smyth realizer A16 is about to begin its Kickstarter.
Personnalized HRTF, up to 16 virtual speakers and low latency Game Mode (3ms) for 1/3 the price of the original A8, i think it's time to throw out my MixAmp !
