Wireless headphone suggestions?

Hello [H], I'm in the market for some new headphones and would like them to be wireless. I'll be primarily using these for movies and music and will be hooking them up to my receiver. I've looked at the Sennheiser RS 185's. I'd like to keep my budget below $400.

Suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks [H]
 
I own the RS 180's (Not sure if Senn makes any longer). I wanted to try the RS185's. I returned the 185's 2 days later.

I could not tell the difference sound wise between the two. Maybe some golden ear audiophile can...I just couldn't. Just my 2 cents.

The 185's usability for a wireless headset is MUCH better than the 180's. Larger buttons for volume and balance. The dock doesn't need to be turned on. Those were the two things that immediately stick out.

The 185's are slightly larger, and a TAD heavier. Both you will forget are on your head.

The wireless range seemed exactly the same. Both drop at about the same point in my basement from the dock which is on the 2nd floor.

Overall I would get the 180's. I paid 200 new for mine. Save yourself the 200 bucks, and get the wife something nice.

Hope this helps.
