Just how good are these headphones with Blu-ray movies? How good/close is the sound compared to a home theater speaker system?

They're absolutely fantastic! I have a 7.1 Sony home theater (don't remember the model) setup but since I got these headsets, I almost used them exclusively for movies/games...it's like sitting in a theater by yourself!

Depends on how often you use your system. But I can tell you this. They don't sound so Great at first, but as I said depending on how often you listen to your system, in time you will notice a BIG difference in they way they sound. They sound louder and cleaner. Watching a Blu-ray movie sounds awesome. You will definitely hear sound travel with these babies! I noticed them sounding better with about a 6 week period. It's about 20 hours a week of using my system. Do the math...lol. You might use your system more often and with longer usage time. If so, even better and quicker results. You will enjoy the sound, just give it time. Depends on how often you use your system. But I can tell you this.

All the negative reviews are from people roaming around and loosing the signal. If you are I the same room as the TV or stereo the sound is incredible! Even if you leave the room it is fine but obviously depends on your blue tooth connection. What are you looking to use them for? I will answer honestly.

The sound is pretty good. I first used the built-in speakers and they put out decent sound. I ended up getting a sound bar and have it tied in via HDMI. I can't say it's theater quality, but I didn't spend a lot for my sound bar either. All-in-all I enjoy it and the sound from the PS3 games can shake the house a little. Hope that helps.

They are good for movies, music, and games. The mic quality is ok. However, they are not the most comfortable headphones, but if you wear them over a hoodie then problem solved.

Amazon asked me to respond. I have the AV40's. Use them with my TV and a subwoofer.....absolutely no complaints!

I wouldn't recommend it for music if you want loud, but I haven't had any issues with movies or TV. I have mine in in our living room and it's perfect. I have a Definitive 5 speaker system in my basement for when I want to really get immersed in a movie though.

Not sure. To be honest I only get really great sound when I'm playing a blueray disc. For just tv they sound decent but not as dynamic. Has more to do with the source than the speakers though.

Most definitely...Sound from these is pretty solid. Any action movies would definitely stand out because of the strong base. Would have to check what audio outputs your HDTV has. Might need a male RCA to male 3.5mm stereo plug

Hey man, I purchased the Sony HT SS2300 and it sounds really good. I have the blue TOC version of the 850. The system doesn't have a DVD or blu ray player but it is made to match up with your current movie player. I have a PS3 so it worked out well. Good system at a good price.

The sound quality is pretty decent. It does not matter much to me as I have Home Theater attached to it.

Well, it obviously doesn't have any idea whether a particular movie is BluRay or not. If the audio, whether DVD, BluRay or Satellite/Cable, is good, then yes it sounds excellent. It doesn't understand 7.1 audio. It wouldn't make sense for it to, since it is a single soundbar. So, you're not going to hear sounds 'behind' you, as with standalone speakers. I am quite please with the overall audio quality and the simulated DTS soundfield is quite impressive. Also, the bass from this is really amazing considering there is not subwoofer.

these would be great for watching movies. the sound that this small system puts out is amazing. the bass is very good and clear for the music that i listen to (rock), i don't listen to rap.

I havn't watched a movie with these; I use them for music, my guitar amp, keyboard, and for brain entrainment with bi-neural beats and these are fantastic for my needs. I would be disappointed with anything less than these headphones now that I've used them. Can't go wrong.

Quite a bit with these, I let a friend try them out with a PC game and I could hear everything quite clearly standing next to him. In general open back headphones will leak more sound, I do have a few pairs that are fairly quiet to someone nearby but these broadcast the sound very well. For your purposes I would recommend a closed-back headphone or an open-back that doesn't leak much sound (find a place to try it out first if you can).

I agree with yaadman01. Great for music and movies, but limited on bass at louder volumes. For deep bass you are going to need a subwoofer which I have. I replaced an old pair of full range Infinity speakers (same size, two-way) and was pleasantly surprised by the sound. Bright highs from the 3/4" high-freq driver and full mid range and mid bass from the 5-1/4" low-freq driver. I set the speaker size to small with the crossover at 80Hz on my 90W/channel receiver to protect with movies. P153s are rated at 10 - 100W and 58Hz - 20kHz. Hard to go wrong for the price per speaker considering the pair I replaced was three times as expensive. Limited warranty is 5 years parts and labor.
