Wireless Home-Theater Headphones Kind to Your Neighbors

Product: Mobile 'Phones Manufacturer: Roundup: Wired Rating: 0 Are your neighbors screaming at you to turn down Gladiator ... again?! Plug into a pair of wireless home-theater headphones. They let you crank up the Roman blood sport without getting the thumbs-down from anybody. 1. Pioneer SE-DIR800C These Pioneer 'phones have Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround effects to make you think there are five speakers inside your head. Not as painful as you might imagine: It really does sound like there are five separate sound sources, and tripping out on that was enough to keep us engaged. These are better suited to movies than music, though: If you stray more than 26 feet from the transmitter — like if you dance into a different room — the normally sharp sound loses its edge. WIRED Great sound reproduction is perfect for action flicks. Super-comfy headband. TIRED NSFW (or anywhere but your house) — these giant cans look ridiculous. You have to remove the batteries and put them into the transmitter dock to recharge. Priciest of the bunch. $399, pioneerelectronics.com 2. Sony MDR-DS3000 These sleek earmuffs are like a hug for your head — by far the most comfortable pair here. Alas, the DS3000s also have the worst range: Infrared signal requires line of sight and makes it only about 20 feet before degrading. The surround sound was good but no aural nirvana. The fit was so comfortable, though, we didn't mind. WIRED Headset recharges in its cradle. Did we mention how wearable these are? Even after a marathon session, we had zero fatigue or swamp-ear. Included optical audio cable enables the best possible sound. TIRED Bulkiest base station in the test. Hissing during quiet scenes or when you amble too far from the base. $230, sony.com 3. Acoustic Research AWD210 At 200 bucks retail, the AWD210s are a serious bargain (and we found 'em for just over $100 on Amazon). Sound quality is nothing to w00t about — great bass, but range is lacking. The leather-covered headband and supple ear pads are comfy, but they don't sit on your head as naturally as the others, making them feel heavy after a while. The poor fit also let outside noise leak in. WIRED Cheap! Volume and power controls on the left earpiece. Headphones charge with an AC adapter (no batteries required). TIRED Plastic earphone casing feels flimsy. Some electronic interference; probably a good idea to keep your cell phone in a different room. Random dead zones when you move away from the transmitter. $199, acoustic-research.com 4. TDK WR700 Road trip? Take the WR700s with you. Their compact size and the choice of 3.5- or 6.3-mm jacks means you can make any audio source wireless. Buy another pair, switch on Multi-User mode, and share sound with a friend. With Kleer transmission technology, they'll beam CD-quality streams. But even with a lossless source, the sound was tinny. And because the ear pads are smallish, noise isolation was only so-so — you shouldn't have to tell roommates to keep it down when you're the one blasting a movie. WIRED Mini and standard stereo jacks. Volume buttons on right earpiece. Best range in test. TIRED Transmitter just a box with a plug — a few inches of cord would make it infinitely easier to hook up. BYO batteries — two AAAs for the headphones, two for the dongle. $249, tdk.com

Ralink debuts suite of networking hardware to form your beams and transmit your HD

Ralink has been hot on the high-definition streaming content front since this past summer and is now introducing networking hardware that'll make it easier to get all those lovely pixels from disk to display wirelessly -- plus a bevy of other high-speed networking goodies to boot. The RT3572 is a 300 Mbps 802.11n-enabling chip designed for inclusion in high-end displays and media players, including wireless streaming of Blu-ray playback, DLNA content, and IPTV. For general networking the company is introducing the RT3883 and RT3593 chips, which enable 450Mbps 802.11n connectivity and feature beam forming, meaning the transmitter can locate receivers and modify "various transmission parameters" to optimize connectivity. Finally, there's the RT3090BC4 combination 802.11n and Bluetooth Half MiniCard adapter, and a "world's smallest" USB 802.11n adapter, little larger than the USB port you'll plug it into. You know what that means: no unsightly protrusions.
