Hi all,

I need to audition some good quality closed back headphones that would wirelessly and simply connect to a BV7 and or a BS9000 somehow. Ideally to cover all bases they would also work wirelessly with an iPad and iMac. I'm not sure this is at all possible.

Any there any suggestions and if so how would they work?

Thanks, beoaus

We have sennheizer cordless headphones, works good, cordless is cordless.. Better quality in headphones with cable. For our use the function of no cabels came at first hand..

I often listen to music with headphones. If you want to enjoy quality, then you need  a headphone with a cable. I use a Philips L1 (on the way) and a AKG K701 at home - The AKG is sounding fantastic. I use them in combination with a Cambridge Dac Magic Plus (DAC / Headphone Pre-Amp)

Hi,

I had a Sennheiser cordless couple of years ago. Although I like the Sennheiser products, I never really used this one because of the poorer signal quality. As technology moves on, I would recommend that you agree with your respective dealer, that you try the headphones in your home, and then you're able to make sure that the performance in every room fits your expectations.

Today I have Form 2, and since one year I'm using the Bose Quiet Comfort 15, which have for my ears a superb, transparent and at the same time voluminous sound with rich bass, independently of traveling abroad or listening at home. It is especially adapted for the apple mobile products but works also fine with my B&O equipment. I do not know, if Bose is offering a cordless version, would be worth a try from my experience.

Kind regards,

Rolf

AKG and Beyerdynamic are generally preferred, I use a pair of Beyerdynamics to get a neutral view when mixing away from the studio.

Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.

This seems to be an area that B & O is neglecting with just the Form 2 and A8 (the latter of which I find uncomfortable after a while). Form 2 are fine at home but not outside.  If you travel a lot you see many people in the street and on transport now wearing over the ear headphones some of which are very pricey.  This shows that there are sales to be had at the top end of the market where B & O belongs.  Something of B & O quality and design would surely sell and introduce more people to the brand.  

I recently bought my son a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones and tried them out on the plane.  They were very good and I am tempted to get a pair for myself.  I have been holding off for a long time now as I would have thought there were some coming from B & O in the pipeline.  I would love a high quality well-designed pair of noise cancellers to take on trips.  Surely a no-brainer to produce.  I can't wait for ever but knowing my luck, the moment I get a Bose pair out will come the BeoPlay pair!!  Cliff
