HT Models
Home-theater headphones—wired or wireless—are built for comfort and audio fidelity. Wirelessmodels use IR (infrared), RF (radio frequency), or Kleer uncompressed RF technologies. IR units have a reputation for resisting interference, while the two RF technologies may allow you to listen to audio from another room.
Transmitters
Home theater styles of wireless headphones generally come with a transmitter. This AC- or battery-powered unit receives audio from your HT device(s), such as your A/Vreceiver, and sends it wire- lessly to the headphones. Some models support multiple headsets, so several family members can enjoy the same program quietly.
Features
Some transmitters double as docking stations for the headphones, making it easy to recharge their batteries. Speaking of battery life, you want a set of headphones that will last through several movies if necessary. And if you plan to use the headset from a distance, make note of its range for usage, such as 100 feet.
Comfort & Sound
Choose a set of HT headphones that you find comfortable. After all, you don’t want to have to take them off halfway through a big game or Harry Potter movie. Likewise, try several models to see which ones sound the best to you. To this end, you’ll find that some models employ sound enhancement technologies.
