  • PositiveHoher Tragekomfort
  • PositiveDigitale Übertragung ohne Störgeräusche
  • NegativeSchwacher Stereo- und Surround-Effekt

…Er spielt ausgewogen mit nur leichtem Bassbereich. Seine einzige nennenswerte Schwäche ist die enge Stereo-Bühne…Trotzdem erreicht der DS6500 die beste Note im Test, kostet aber auch am meisten.

  • Negativefummeliger Lautstärkeregler

…Der Sound wirkte weiträumig, aber leicht verhalten, und Effekte von hinten waren nicht zu orten. Mit seinen leisen Bässen hörte er sich etwas hohl und kraftlos an. Sehr gut ist der Tragekomfort…

…Die Drahtlos-Übertragung erfolgt verlustfrei im 2,4-GHz-Band und soll Distanzen von bis zu 100 Metern meistern. Einem entspannten Filmabend steht damit nichts mehr im Weg, zumal der MDR-DS6500 mit seiner weichen Polsterung bequem auf dem Kopf sitzt.
