Overall, I've been really happy with this purchase. First, it was really easy to set up the headphone system. Cost is about four times what my Grados cost, and even a few times more than some of the less expensive Sennheiser models. The manufacturer commented on the review below.
The one minor quibble I have here is that it took me a bit of effort to figure out the pictograms in the setup manual. Mitigating that, Sennheiser includes a CD with the full manual on it and their web site has a downloadable version, too. There are a lot of controls that take some getting used to, but once you learn where the controls are it's easy to adjust the volume, etc. These are over the ear, open style with velour pads which makes for very comfortable listening. Dialogue in some films gets lost or covered up by background sounds through my speakers, but not with these headphones. I can hear every word with these headphones; and base reproduction is outstanding.
Everything considered I would recommend this headset highly to anyone! I bought this wireless headphone system to use while watching TV late at night, so I won't wake my spouse who sleeps upstairs above the TV room.
I listen to classical music mostly (90%) along with a bit of rock music and others (10%). To me, it took about 20 hours of listening to break in. So, I decided to keep it as is! It works pretty much as advertised. No interference issues with my home wireless (operates on 2.4-2.8 GHz auto selecting). They have excellent bass response that will actually tickle your ears, depending on what you are listening to of course.
Also, the cans sounded too mellow at first, but they sound much more neutral now. It is still rather on the "warm" side, but I would say only to a pleasant degree to my ears. I bought and returned two other pairs of wireless headphones in the sub-$200 price range before springing for these, and simply put they are worth the extra money. There's no interference, the sound quality is excellent throughout the range and the hiss that plagues most other wireless headphones doesn't exist. I have been charging and allowing the phones to completely discharge for a week now and I'm getting 8-10 hours listening time. I'm still far from the 24 hours they claim however. It looks far better than the RS 120s or 130s. If you've got to look at them all the time then they should look good and these do.

General I would say these headphones are horrible. I will tell you that if I had to chose between the two I did buy, the additional $10 was much better spent on these Sony headphones. Sound Proof Headphones. We like the sound. The noise from the random parts of these headphones renders them useless. rf wireless headphones.
