This is for a friend's father who wears a hearing aid and wants to be able to watch TV and movies without bothering his wife (with his hearing aid out).
He wants wireless because the distance to his 5.1 stereo receiver is too great and he fears she will trip over an extension cable. He will also use these headphones in his travel trailer.
Price and durability more important than sound quality. Closed would be preferred although not essential. Prefers full sized circumnaural headphones, cushy ear pads for comfort. Doesn't want to fiddle with IEMs or over the ear types.
Stereo is fine; 5.1 would be a bonus.
Of course my first reaction was the Pioneer SE-DIR800c but of course with a $399 MSRP that was way out of budget.
I guess I don't really know this market at all. Any help would be appreciated.
