The headphones themselves utilize the "street style" around the back of the head look, and they're designed to stay put while you're gesticulating wildly during any one of the Wii's more physically oriented games. While they stay put, they're not the most comfortable 'phones in the world, however--you might not want to wear them for longer than a couple of hours at a time.
The Ear Force W3s sound surprisingly good--when you consider that they're available for under $60. Music and movies both came through clear on the headphones, which can be cranked up to a decent (but not excessive) volume. They're not for audiophiles, though; discriminating listeners will want to invest in one of the many impressive luxury models available, such as the Pioneer SE-DIR800C--just be prepared to pay a corresponding premium for the improved quality. And don't expect the Pioneers and their ilk to stay planted on your noggin while you're gaming on the Wii.
There's really just one big mystery about these headphones: Who's really playing the Wii in an environment where they can't have the TV volume turned up? Not only do we pity the poor kid (or adult) who's being forced to play the Wii without making a peep, we wonder what they're playing--since the most fun games on the Nintendo console tend to be group-oriented titles (Wii Sports). That said, if you're looking for a serviceable pair of wireless headphones for the Wii--or anything else--the Turtle Beach Ear Force W3s fit the bill nicely.
