I bought this headset to replace a radio shack wireless headset where the batteries were failing. I like the Sennheiser for its quality, the fact that it sounds great and for the fact that it uses AAA rechargeables (comes with it) that will hold a charge for more than 24 hrs of use, and they are easily replaceable when that time comes. The sound quality is excellent... good bass and the highs are clear. I use these primarily in bed so as not to disturb the wife while watching TV... I am one of those who needs the noise in order to sleep, so the headphones are on all night albeit at low volume. I have found that they are cool and comfortable to wear. I wake up without the red ears I used to get with the others. If there is a complaint it would be that they fit on the ear and as such feels loose on the head, so when I do use them while moving about they slip. The old set was around the ear, so was more secure, but after a couple of hours were intolerable to wear... tradeoffs. Oh, one other thing I discovered that I really like is that the ear cushions are easily removable and can be cleaned with a mild detergent, dried and snapped right back on. So, bottom line, I am very satisfied with these and recommend them to other night owls or those who need to wear them for long periods.

I've been using these headphones for about 3 months now. I initially bought them to use at my work, but have since brought them home because the interference there was too high.

Tuning them is difficult, but in a lower interference environment once you get them set you typically don't have to play with it. It's pretty much impossible to get rid of a slight hiss though.

The biggest problem with these headphones is the automatic turn-off of the transmitter. After 5 minutes of silence, the transmitter shuts down. The headphones then burst into static because they're no longer receiving a signal. It's pointless since the headphones are still wasting battery and the transmitter is plugged in, and god forbid you be doing something where sound isn't absolutely consistent.

I could handle the tuning issues as just being part of the wireless game, and I love the freedom of being able to just leave my headphones on when I need to go do laundry. But really, the transmitter cut off makes these equal parts delightful and irritating.

2.0 out of 5 stars The hissing will drive you mad!, December 24, 2004

I bought these headphones, hoping that they will allow me the freedom to move around the house while still being able to hear the stereo. These headphones do have great range: I was 50 feet from the base, with two walls of separation, and could still hear the sound as clearly as when I was right in front of the base. Unfortunately, the clarity of the sound, even when you're right next to the base, is not very good. A high-pitched whistle pierces my ears, and I just had to return the headphones. I don't recommend them.
