headcasemarc Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 The price is not yet a problem so I have no price range restriction, although I don't want something over 1000$... if you know what I mean.I want my headphones to be completely wireless (no wire, no usb dungle, no dock station).I want to be able to lay in my bed or walk into the house without the laptop with me (especially for Google/Skype Phone Calls) (this let me conclude that any IR (infra red) wouldn't be suitable since they require the headphones to be in sight of the IR signal transmitter to communicate.I will be using these both for phone call and listening to music as long as playing so games (so It requires a Mic for the phones calls and must have some decent sound quality. )Mic must be part of the headphones themself (mic stick or built-in mic) (not on a duck station, usb dungle or anywhere else than on the headphones themselves. Why ? ---> because I want to be as much mobile as possible and I don't want to be forced to bring any added accessories with me to be able to make a calls.I'm looking for something portable but no ear buds. (something suitable for both outdoor and home)Transmission range (both mic and speakers): doesn't need more than 10 meters but no less than 4 meters So that's pretty much it. Here are some models I found that meet all the requirements I have mentionned above (I used headphones.com for my selection since it is the only site that offer a decent selection wizard (i.e by type of transmission, with or without mic, etc..) : Sennheiser: MM100 - MM400 - MM450 - MM550 Creative: WP300 - WP350 Jabra: Halo Plantronic: the Pulsar series Nokia: BH 905 Bose: QC15 Akgk: 830bt I'm almost sure I missed many, and that's where you guys comes into play. Let me know what's your suggestion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaox2 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Not to mention, not many of us probably have much knowledge of wireless headphones with mics attached. Personally, I would just buy something mediocre for phonecalls and background music while busy and something much better for gaming and music. Wireless headphones just aren't something I recommend for serious music listening or gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumpler Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 For what it's worth, i have been using the Sennheiser PXC360BT (which i understand to be somewhat similar to the MM550, just without the mic) for a bit now and am loving it.

grawk Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 my favorite wireless headset is my iphone + a UE 10v cable I modified to work with my JH13s. It's not technically wireless, but it may as well be, plus, it doesn't suck ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
