Dolby Wireless Headphones: Pioneer vs Sony vs Philips

After reading very good opinions about the Pioneer Digital Wireless Headphones (DIR800C), I've decided to buy them. But I've received also very good opinions about Philips HD1500U (unless I don't like very much the quality and service of this company). And, in a local audio store, when I went to buy the Pioneers, they've said me there are a new wireless digital from Sony, but I've not found any review or opinion about them.
Anyone knows the new Sony DS6000 or can give me a advice about the others?
Thanks,
Antonio

Re: Dolby Wireless Headphones: Pioneer vs Sony vs Philips

Have you actually bought the Pioneers then?

I had those. I'm afraid to say, that while I have not heard any of the others, I didnt rate them all the same. The surround effect didnt seem overly convincing the majority of the time, there wasnt really enough bass or volume for my tastes, and when asked to do music, well they really stunk.

My hifi headphones just sounded better all round TBH.

On the plus side, it looked quite nice and there was no hiss. Battery life was acceptable.

Re: Dolby Wireless Headphones: Pioneer vs Sony vs Philips

Thanks Paul.
I've been researching a little and I can order the Philips 1500U in a shop in my town (but without test it before). Probably, I can test the Pioneers this week in another shop. The Philips in Spain are cheaper than the Pioneers (around 400$ Philips and 500$ Pioneers).
If the 1500U are cheaper and better, I think I'll go to get these cans, but I've had several problems in the past with Philips electronic equipment technical/customer service in my country and ... I am hesitate to order without test the cans.
