"I was NOT happy" on by teckels
Pros: Wait, I'm trying to think.
Cons: Bad reception, too tight and made me sweat.
Summary: I did not like these headphones. Once I managed to get the signal locked in, it would drift off after a while. Additionally, the ear cups were poorly vented and I'd start to sweat after a short time.
Lastly, the adjustment to fit your head is of poor design. You can manage to get the cups on your ears just fine, but after a while I felt like I had a vice on my head and when trying to stretch open the width, the cheap headband being made of snapped. I threw the crap away. -
"too mellow, too light" on by Carlos_zuniga
Pros: Two batteries included, SRS processor, nicely cushioned.
Cons: accepts too much interference, auto tune from the receiver takes too long to found the signal.
Summary: those headphones are nice, but feels cheap. the propietary line in jack upset me cause i can put extensions directly to the dock and the cable is a bit too short. Average reception, don't reach my 1st floor kitchen (i live in 2-floor apartment) Mellow sound.

"Some of the Best Wirless at reasonable Price" on by rich_joy
Pros: Good signal levels and good suuround sound
Cons: Could have better HF response
Summary: While most of don't really use headphones for primary movie or music listening pleasure, these headphones allow the user to listen to music/movies, to crank the sound up, and to not disturb others in the house. The price is fair. Batter life is also OK. You can also get a second set of headphones to add another, or many more listeners.

"Good sounding wireless headphones that won't drift on you." on by av_specialist
Pros: Never run out of batteries (2 included, base charges both). Good sound quality. Very light and comfortable. Can be used from your record/line out or headphone jack.
Cons: Just nit-picking: Doesn't sound as good as a wired Sennheiser headphones at similar price.
Summary: These may not sound "bright" and "forward" in the highs to some, but it is just right for me. Other headphones are tuned to sound like a tinny boom-box but this one is tuned to have true high fidelity. Higher prices wireless Sennheisers have built in compression and do not sound as good as this one. This one sounds airy and open in the mids and highs, never harsh or tinny. Bass is a little closed in, but I haven't heard any headphones with bass that I truly like.
The RF system works very well, and over a long time, does not drift as some other systems do. Background noise is kept to a minimum.
I particularly like the included two re-chargable batteries which can be simultaneously charged at the same time when you return the headphones to the base unit. If you forget to switch the headphones off and have let the battery run out, don't worry, the one in the base unit is always ready.
I have been around very high-end audiophile products for over 3 decades, and this product is definitely one that stands out. I can only think of a dozen or so products which really impressed me through the years, and this wireless headphones is one of them.
The main reason I am writing this review is because I think the reviewers at CNET are using the wrong criteria in judging the sound of these headphones. Just put on some music with violins and listen for yourself. These will not hurt your ears like the ones with "agressive" highs. Sorry, you guys at CNET made the wrong call here!
