    Default best wireless headphones under R2000

    Ahoy fellow members.

    So..... my trittons were left too close to the heater last night and well, cables got melted. Lol. So I am in the market for a new set.

    Primary focus will be gaming with music taking a second seat. What I truly want in the cans are the following:

    must be 5.1 atleast.

    Must be able to chat while wireless.....if the steelseries had this feature I would not be asking here. Love steelseries products and wanted to keep all peripherals to one brand. Sigh.

    Must be wireless so I dont melt anymore wires.

    Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should spend my monies on? Want to hear personal experiences.

    Thanks guys

    If you're serious about sound quality, it best to stay with wired headphones from what I can gather. Unless some new tech made it's appearance, that is

    In my opinion you'd be better off with stereo headphones and a decent sound card that can emulate 5.1 over stereo.

    I haven't really seen very good quality 5.1 headphones to be honest, nevermind wireless ones.

    Will be buying a sound card as well so have 3500 in total. Was going to go with the sennheiser bundle but everyone is out of stock. Including my suppliers.

    Purchasing them seperatly costs a little too much compared to the bundle offered. Was also thinking about importing the astro A40's.

    Decisions decisions.

    @postmanpot.......you have since upgraded the pc360's correct?

    I mentioned PC-360's because they are lower Ohm than the Xense/PC-350 (50Ohm vs 150Ohm) and open design which makes them sound much better. They will require less amplification to perform at their best, and will sound great connected to any 3.5mm non amplified port.

    PC-360's are essentially HD555's with a mic. http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthre...5-s-with-a-mic

    I have HD595 and HD650.

    I just can't bring myself to sell the HD595's...
