Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
If you have digital cable tuners for your pc these are essential.
And in regards to the codec support...I can play all of my files on extenders by trancoding. I can transcode 1080p mkvs at full resolution on the fly without problems.
If I had more TVs to connect I'd be buying more of these extenders.
