I've decided that I'd like to get a wireless virtual surround sound headphone, but I don't know which one to get Sony DS8000 or Pioneer DIR1000C or XB1? Any opinion?

Just to hold you until you get a "real" reply...

I haven't tried the Dolby Headphone based Pioneer system, but I have a (wired) system that uses Dolby Headphone, and I enjoy what it does very much, even for CDs. I'ts not clear to me from the advertising whether the Pioneer 1000C has line out, but that might not be a big concern for you. In short, with the Pioneer I bet it comes down to the quality of the headphones included.

The Sony is another story - based on my experience with the previous version (5100) I would have to hear the 8000 myself before I considered buying it.

Thank you Kenny, seems like the Pioneer phones would be a better bet...

It's impossible to audition these headphones here in US. Anyone in Japan has a chance to try them?
