Wireless home theater headsets have been around for years, but they have only recently started to approach the sound-quality standards of corded headphones. If you’ve already spent thousands of dollars kitting out your home theater set, don’t forget to make an investment on your headphones as well. Wired or wireless, a well-researched pair of headphones should last a lifetime and will let you hear every detail in the soundtrack, without the added worry of outside noise interfering with the performance.
1. HiFiMan HE-400
The HiFiMan HE-400 looks, feels, and sounds like a much more expensive set of headphones. They’re sure to please audiophiles with sophisticated tastes, and they sound remarkably spacious, making the HE-400s ideal for home theater duty. The HE-400s’ only real limitation is their lack of synergy with on-the-go portable use. Other than that one caveat, they’re highly recommended.

If the HD 700 headphones were a music group, it would be equally gifted in every style. Whether classic, jazz or rock, it would have sound mastery of each genre. Regardless of what song it’s currently playing, its timbre is always warm and emotional. With its exceptional and unique range, reproduction of the lowest and highest tones that the human ear cannot consciously perceive is now achievable. This is a true maestro and an unforgettable listening experience suited for every musical taste.
