Hi..
 
I've tried to google and search for it, but there are so many options that its hurting my head what to go with, that's why I've created this thread.
 
So, I'm looking for:
 
 
- Wireless Headphones (as I read/heard their signals are better then bluetooth headphones?). The main purpose is to listen to music mostly rock but other genres as well, to be used to watch movies and hopefully with my LCD TV once I buy it :p
I would like to have those in which sound doesn't get out - i think they are called noise cancelling or something? so I can watch movies/listen music without disturbing others
Budget is around 200USD
 
 
- Wired Headphones  - also to be used basically for listening to music and have the option of noise cancelling so others don't get disturbed.
Budget is around 100USD
 
 
 
Thanks for your time.

hmm so you don't recommend wireless? is it because my budget is low or because generally wireless headphones such?


It's because (a) you are paying extra for the wireless technology and (b) the built in wirelessly transmitted sound is often not as good as plugging headphones in direct (depends on what technology is used and how it is implemented).

What kind of sound signature are you looking for? Bassy? More neutral?

well - the only reason I was interested in them was because I could listen to music anywhere and don't have to worry about wires which is the case with wired headphones.
 
For wired ones, it will be used mostly for listening to music, rock n roll mostly - so bassy would be good but not overdone - as I've read there are some headphone which overdo it.
 
 
Are the following headphones good? The reviews shows they are. Please advise or if there are any other better ones in my price range.
 
Photive BTH3 Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones
Sony MDR-10RBT

BTW, I've hard that Sennheiser headphones are quite good sound quality wise. I searched and found them to be quite expensive. Are you aware of one which suits my budget and requirements?
