So in a few weeks my home office is being moved into my living room because we live in a 2br condo, and my newborn will be getting this room. At night when I'm on my PC, my wife is watching TV so now I will be in the same room as her. I have a closed back set of MDR-1A's and I know these will not get the job done. I don't think it's the best idea to have her use bluetooth headphones herself since a) the baby will need attention so she has to be able to hear her and b) I'm not even sure if my AVR has BT capability. I know my TV doesn't.
Will be running off a magni/modi stack, so I'll be able to power quite a bit. I was considering 1000XM3, but from what I gather, ANC is really best for constant noise and not the best (yet) for dynamic situations. So... I think I'm probably best off trying to get as much noise isolation as possible. I don't expect 100% of her TV volume to be kept out but I'd like to be able to enjoy my music and PC stuff as much as possible still.
Willing to spend up to $750, not afraid to buy used.
