Hey Gang,
Anybody had any experience with the new Sony wireless Dolby digital headphones (model MDRDS5000)??? I was thinking about buying them but thought I'd see what ya all think first.
Thanks for replying!

Hey Phil,

While I have not had any experience with the Sony system, I have used the system currently being sold under Sennheiser's name.

The original Auri system brought out by Virtual Listening Systems was and is still a very cool gadget that I use for late night viewing in my Brooklyn apt.

So I can tell you the technology works and works well. I also happen to like Sony headphones very much. I own the MDR-CD1000 and V-900.

I couldn't tell from the web page but it doesn't look like the unit comes with a remote, so you would have to get up to adjust volume.

The other system uses a corded headphone with a wireless controller.

Also, the Sony system uses "open air" design headphones. Which only means that if you have high ambient noise,(radiators, street noise) it might be distracting. The models I use are "closed air" designs, which I haven't found fatigueing.

Also I didn't see a provision for a second cordless set.

Hope this helps a little

Godd luck and Happy Holidays
