I will only be using the headphone in the bedroom and not be walking around with them anywhere so distance, hearing through walls is important, 4. Hours the rechargeable batteries can run for. Please list the brand & model number. Thanks. I'm looking at anything that retails between $50 to $400 (I figure I can get alot off on them on EBAY). Thanks for your input.
If you're only gonna be using the headphones in the bedroom, and you say that you won't be walking around with them - are you sure that you really want wireless 'phones? I have three sets of them myself, and I love 'em. But they DO involve some compromises, like occasional "dropouts", etc.

For the best sound quality without the compromises, I recommend that you go with a standard wired headphone with one (or more) extension cords. If you absolutely want wireless 'phones, I recommend the Sonys that I use for overall satisfaction .... sound quality and battery life. The Sennheiser 'phones have slightly better sound quality, but they seem to eat batteries for lunch! My Sonys on the other hand run and run and run and run and run before I have to replace batteries!

The current Sony models (with their MSRP prices) are:
MDR-RF945 - $129
MDR-RF975 - $199

The models I have (which are several years old) are:
MDR-RF930
MDR-RF950

Hope this helps you
