use for watch movie, music, casual gaming on PC.
using at home so does not require too much active voice cancellation.

mainly looking for good battery, decent sound quality and comfort.
many times will wear up to 2~3 hours.

few years ago, Bluetooth did not support pairing multiple headsets to one
source - that means if two people want to watch a movie together, you can't use bluetooth without a splitter.

we have been using Sennheiser RF headsets
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-RS120-Wireless-Headphones-Charging/dp/B0001FTVEK

the benefits are 1) you can pair more than one headset at any time, 2) the
working distance is 3-4x longer than BT, 3) easy charging, 4) decent sound. it is also very flexible. We bought 3 pairs, one docks to the TV, one to the projector, one to the computer. We can then listen to any one of the
sources using all 3 headsets without fuss.

the only negative of RF headsets, as some people complain, is that there is a low-level white noise. You can read the commends on the amazon page. From my own experience, it does not bother me much. The white noise is only
noticeable when the TV/projector has a low-volume and your headset has a
high-volume setting.

After 3-4 years of regular use, the volume control does get a little bit
finicky, one of the 3 pairs has charging problem. But after I replaced the
original AAA rechargable batteries with a new pair, it worked again.

perhaps the BT headsets these days allow for multiple connections. I just
stop paying attention anymore.

我用的RS-180, 感觉作用距离跟BT差不多。比如发射器在3楼前屋,RF和BT耳机都是作
用到1楼后门。用了七八年了,只要音源可以,感觉不到有背景杂音。

建议还是上BT,不需要专门的发射器,方便!!。。。比如 Bose SoundLink on the
ear or over the ear. 不打折时~$180跟你预算上限已经接近了,不急就等deal。

I also recommend Bluetooth. In many cases, a non-bt headphone is more
complicated to set up with certain devices (e.g. smart TVs), and hence is
not as versatile. Modern bt headphones should already have decent sound
quality for your use cases.

Attached is a partial list of popular bt headphones (source: rtings.com).
Focus on the following scores.

Movie -> Bass and Mid
Music -> Sound (look into details if you perfer certain music types)
Gaming -> Soundstage and Sound
Battery -> Battery Life
Comfort -> Comfort and Type (Over-ear, Closed-Back)

One pair really stand out, which are the Bose SoundLink Around-Ear II. It
has slightly better overall sound quality than QC 35 minus the signature
active noise cancelling which you dont need, but is $120 cheaper (230 vs 350). Ebag/Amex/CB deal regularly brings it down to sub-$150 after tax and
sometimes even lower. Keep an eye on it if you are still looking.

However, one thing I found is that even a pair of $70 Sennheiser HD558 beat both SL AE II and QC35 for PC gaming especially for soundstage. This speaks for how much premium you pay for going wireless, which may not be crucial
for PC gamers.
