Strength:

Decent sound for wireless

Weakness:

The soundquality not as good as in corded phones in same price category.

Yes there´s some static from time to time, but these phones are better than some cheap Philips or sony wireless´. The enviroment of listening effects quite alot to the amount of static.(I have listening experience from 3 different places)

Strength:

Good quality on surround mode. Wireless capability.

Weakness:

Too much static. Too lightweight. Wife broke a piece of the headpiece last night claiming that she just set them back in the charger.

After doing what I thought was decent research, and with much trepadation about wireless headphones, I purchased them. They seemingly offer way too much static for my likes. Guess this is just to be expected from a wireless device.

Strength:

Lightweight, easy to use/setup, decent sound quality

Weakness:

for the price paid, I expected a little more...

In short, this is the first pair of wireless phones, and they seem to be fairly decent. The reason I bought them was so that I could play videogames (Ps2 & Xbox ) and watch movies at night without waking the wife(my apartment is pretty small). They were a lot lighter and smaller than I expected. As for the sound quality...Well, let's face it , you'll get way better quality with a pair of corded phones, but the conveinence of walking around while listening to tv/radio is nice. As for the twit who wrote in about the hiss-I used these with dvd's and digital cable and radio and the biggest reason for hiss was the quality of the broadcast, i.e. with dvd's I had great sound, with the radio and certain channels on cable, there was a faint, but persistent hiss that I had to really listen for and really wasn't a problem. I guess my only gripe is that I paid $99 for them, even though they're usually 140 plus, and I was expecting to be blown away. Solid product however, I would recommend them at 99, nothing more.

Strength:

looks coo.

Weakness:

static and loud annoying ass buzz

this product was serious dissapointment. sounded good at first. then i walked away from desk where transmitter is and got just a ton of static. 300 feet my ass. try LITTERALY about 3 feet. plus there is a really annoying buzz that seems to hit the phones and travel from left ear to right ear about every 1-2 minutes. the dsp seems to really screw up the sound by trying to maintain a volume level of some sort. what ends up happening is when u try to listen to somthing loud, the phones just turn it down to a really low level. i want to throw these on ground and step on them. im pissed. stay away, save ur money, dont bother. aaahhhh there it is again!!!!! god damn i hate this buzz sound!!!!!!!!!! screw sennheiser.
