Pros: Has incredible sound! Does not disturb persons trying to sleep next to you. Well padded for my big head. Charging stand, though I hardly use the charging stand, I change out the AAA batteries with some already charged, so I don't have to wait when I accidently leave them off the cradle. I'm not sure I would change one thing, they are near perfect! Side note:(possibly a pro)I fell asleep in them, snapped the bridge across the top, Sennheiser replaced my 2+ year old set with a new set for $60.00!

This is the first pair of wireless headphones I have purchased so I'm new to these type of products. But after going through years of wired sets I decided to give these a try over other brands. I was tired of the wires wearing out in my previous sets so I figured wireless would give me much more durability. So far I am satisfied. These sound just as good as a wired headset. There is the occassional hiss but it is not prevelant. As someone mentioned before, if you turn the audio source volume up enough you will not notice or even hear hiss. These headsets also briefly interfered with a baby monitor we were using but the problem seemed to go away after awhile. Plus you have a tuner on the base that can assist with interference. I stay in an apartment so I can't test the range much. I can say it worked flawless at nearly 200 feet and I had doors closed between me and the base. Another nice feature is that these headphones recharge while sitting on the base. It requires an RCA connection so it is convenient for attatching to TV's, Stereos, and DVD players. There is a 3.5mm to RCA converter included in the box as well so it's no problem hooking these to your PC or IPod. About the fit, it's fine with me even though your ears are completely covered. They are very large but not heavy. All in all, I recommend this product if you are looking for a closed cup design that is wireless and delivers good audio quality. I had reservations about spending so much on headphones, but these are worth it.

The first nice thing I noticed is the very comfortable fit. I am usually unhappy with headphones, having a smallish head, but there is no slipping or constant adjustment needed. There also seems to be a good deal of room for adjustment so they may fit a larger headed person just fine. They are also light weight and do not give any of that squeezing or headbanded feeling that cam cause fatigue for long use. I use these with my tv and for music so that I can avoid any disturbance to my near neighbors. I like preserving the quite of my neighborhood and being a good tenant. These allow me to listen to anything at any hour, with windows wide-open, without feeling intrusive to others. There should be no excuse for disturbing others with electronic noise with a product like this available! They have a surprisingly long reach and it's nice to be able to go down the stairs to the laundry, or even out to the yard to pick up the mail without missing the dialogue of something I"m following. There has been very little interference, which was my greatest worry about this purchase. Once in a while I have heard the annoying high pitched tone that seams to wreck other wireless reception, but I found it was just super close proximity to a fan I was running, and separated the receiver from the fan. Problem solved. They charge consistently and can be used many many hours straight (nearly all on one day and night). I'm happy I bought these!
