Reviews of the Sony MDR-DS4000

CNET Review
The Good: Digital infrared wireless headphone; clean, hiss-free sound; base station automatically charges the headphones' batteries; compatible with Dolby and DTS surround.
The Bad: Admittedly impressive sound quality doesn't match bass and loudness response of better corded headphones; headphones need line of sight to base station to maintain connection; no digital coaxial input.
The Bottom Line: The Sony MDR-DS4000s are simply the quietest and best-sounding wireless headphones we've tested to date.
