Sony MDR-DS6000

ConclusionValue & Comparisons
Value (3.00)
The Sony MDR-DS6000 costs a lot for what it offers. First of all, it’s obvious that these headphones aren’t meant to be portable. Viewing them solely through the lens of home theater use, they provide some really nice features, such as wireless connectivity and digital surround sound. The wireless is nice and has decent range; good enough for doing chores or moving around a lot while you listen. If you’re just planning on sitting and watching a movie, wireless connectivity loses a lot of its value (unless cables just bug you). Also, while the surround sound is definitely a great feature, it’s value is diminished by otherwise mediocre sound quality. Surround sound with middling audio quality is like putting the cart before the horse, only you make the cart look really fancy so no one notices your horse only has three legs. Overall, while these headphones don’t really do anything special, their $300 price tag seems to insinuate that they do.

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
