I have noticed that a lot of wireless phones are not that loud. Not sure if
this is a decision due to battery consumption, or fear of ear damage.

Are there any wireless headphones available that are
anwhere close to Hi-Fi? My speakers are Monitor Audio
RX6s and my Amp is a NAD 355BEE. I mainly listen to
classical

Sennheiser RS140. Highly recommended
http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/uk/home_...dphones_009926

I have a pair, and they are IMO marginal for people with normal hearing
due to their marginal dynamic range.

From the reference above:

68 dBA

68 dB A weighted is kinda vinyl-like. If you don't hear surface noise with
vinyl, the RS140s are for you. Otherwise, you may sense that some really
good (digital) sources are a bit degraded at times.

It's easy to hook these up so that the dynamic range is even worse - use
the supplied headphone jack adaptor.

I drive mine with a fixed audio signal that is at a much higher level, and
that made them barely acceptable for watching TV and the like.

Sennheiser has just introduced a new line of headphones that use a
digitally modulated, not analog modulated means of transmission. Probably
worth the extra bucks.

The other thing is that the Sennheiser wireless headphones are based on
some of their mid-priced"open air" transducers with relatively small
elements. No way are you going to get the wonderful tone of the HD 600s or
the accuracy and isolation of HD 280s.
