Amazing headphones December 16, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I ll keep this short simple and straight to the facts . A lil pricey but plenty worth it . flexible connection options with straight forward , simple hook up and operation . Incredible range , much better than advertised or listed ! Incredible sound , easily on par with Sony Studio Monitors only wireless !!! Multi position mountable base that acts as the transmitter with dual indicator LED's for charging and transmitting , self power off when not in use , auto on feature built into the head strap and independant volume control in the left ear hub . Comfortable enough for extended use and light enough to almost forget they're on your melon ! BUY THEM !

Headphones October 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
These headphones replaced a pair of Sennsenheiser headphones that I bought about 3 years ago. So far these are working just fine. I like that they only turn on when you have them on. The sound quality is very good. I also like that once they are fully charged the charging light turns off. At one end of my house i get a little interference that i didn't get with my other headphones. But that is not a major problem. One thing is they could be a little tighter and i don't see any way to adjust that. I would definitely recommend them.

I needed this because I often watch TV from my kitchen late at night with the family is sleeping. The kitchen is more than 30 ft from my family room and this headphone does the job well; sound is clear (CD quality as advertised) and I do not have any issues with its range. I wear it even to our 2nd floor bathroom (our TV is on the first floor) and I could still hear the sound very clearly (only when I walk to the corner of the 2nd floor, which is a good old 150' from the transmitter, the sound becomes broken, so the range limit is as advertised). The only thing that I wish for is it if has virtual surround, but the other surround wireless headphones that Sony offers only have limited range so this pair is as good as I can get. Oh and the headphone is very comfortable to wear, and I love the wireless charging feature--you simply put the headphone back to the docker and it charges automatically.

Great headphones for the money. I was originally looking at the Sennheiser wireless headphones, but couldn't justify spending the extra dough for the 170s. Read more

Failed quickly.
As others have noted, the strap that allows the headphones to automatically turn "on/off" when you place them on your head failed in just 3 months of light usage. Read more
