theguru Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 As some of you know I live in the White Ivory Tower only other guests live in the Tower with me (my neighbors). I love this place but the one negative is I have to keep the jams to a minimum. Most of my neighbors are old and can't' hear but still I need to be respectful. I would love to be able to Jam out more often but I have to go the wireless headphone route to do that (can't get caught up in wired headphone situations). With that in mind who has experience and what you guys/gals suggest?
Randy Parker Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Junior Parker has some wireless beats that are pretty nice.
Pete W Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Check out the wireless headphones on monoprice.com. I have have their wired on ear headphones and earbuds and both are great and way cheaper than Bose or Beats
coldweatherfan Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I would recommend that you go the aptX route. There is not as much compression with aptX as there is with bluetooth SBC, so the sound quality is better. Do some research and read the specs, then pick the one that fits your budget. I have these.

coldweatherfan Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Side note, especially for in the home where range can be very important. My Sharkks have a few more feet of range from device before there is any distortion than MrsC's or my son's.
Harry Doyle Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 The Wireless PowerBeats are pretty amazing. Sound quality for music and talking on the phone are more than solid. I had one wireless headset & the sound quality for music was...ehhh...so-so & when I was on the phone, it always sounded like I was on speaker phone (coming from the people on the other end)...but, not with these. I bought them for a hundo at a Verizon store in Louisville the other day when my phone came in. Here are some that Best Buy has on a BIG TIME sale right now, maybe in just in this color, though...if that even matters.

Fear the Nation Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Can't go wrong with the Sony bluetooth headphones either. Bought three for my oldest kids for Christmas half price sale at best buy. They are normally 199.00 as good the beats (in my ear) at a better price. The models we bought were mdr-xb950.

Fear the Nation Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 Check out The WireCutter. They test and rate gadgets. The Wirecutter - Headphones Sony MDR-XB950BT: Nobody on the panel liked these. The bass is boomy, messy, and leaves every kind of music sounding, as Brent put it, “as though there is a quilt draped over a speaker.” Even on hip-hop, which headphones marketed as Extra Bass should excel in, everyone agreed that the 950BT were an absolute mess. There are many better options out there, and none of us knows how Sony could have dropped the ball so terribly or why there are so many good Amazon reviews. The only positive comment our panel made was “well, they’re comfy on your head…” Ouch... lol, they slaughtered the ones we bought... guess I have selective hearing.. lol, all those loud car stereos I had as a young guy.

I go through them every year or so which is why I've been considering wireless.

coldweatherfan Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 How would the Sharkk's be for traveling? One of the categories that they always get 5* in is comfort. They fold up nice, are very comfortable, and are excellent noise cancelling. I would definitely recommend them.
coldweatherfan Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 So did anyone pick up some head phones? Give us a review.
