Headphones wireless vs wired

Post by diggerAU »

Just wondered has anyone noticed any difference between audio quality from wireless headphones
and the wired ones. i have got myself a set of ws3 xp wireless type headphones and i tried them
out yesterday, they work fine and are very convenient but i have noticed that they don't seem to
be as clear as the wired type which i had been using on the GMP and sovereign, these are a cheep
brand and seem more clear than the ws3 type. just to add there is new batteries in the GMP and
the wireless headphones were fully charged. wonder what yea think. :-/

Hi solus, I have recently bought a tdk 700 wireless set and found that the audio on them is very good ::g
The low down "grunt" of iron really is pronounced and the high tones of good signals can nearly blow your ears off =)) =)) =)) =)) just got to set the volume right.
To be honest, the slight lag on signals might put people off a bit, but its not a problem for me.
I just slow the sweep a bit and centre the signal with pinpoint ::g ::g ::g
Just to be FREE of the md is worth the trouble of getting used to the lag :) :) ::g ::g
This is just my findings and have only been out with them 3-4 times.

As i understand it they are not as sharp as the original wireless headphones not sure why as i think they are just the same but in differant cups,in theory they should be the same but in practice they are not.They never caught on as much as the original wireless backphones although logic tells you they would cut out the back ground sound more but they lack the overall crisp sound of the smaller WS1 phones.So basically its not a problem with your phones but the design of them i think.

The wired xp backphones for the price are fantastic as a backup set of headphones and also great during the summer time when its hot.

The xp backphones are the mutts nuts.! ok i swear at them every now and again about their parentage when i try to stand up with my boot on the wire but after a while you forget you`re wearing them and the the sound really becomes a part of you. ::g ::g
