" ... That being said the sound is simply the best. ... "
" ... I find that I use them even when I’m home alone because the sound is so good and the dialogue is a bit easier to understand. ... "
" ... Over 4 years since originally purchased, they still look, work & sound like when they were new and priced at ~$300. ... Very high quality sound in all ranges. ... "
" ... Quiet and clean - just the way I like the sound to be - 'specially late at night when you do not want to disturb the rest of the family. ... "
" ... The sound quality is fantastic, the fit of the headphones is great, the range is terrific (I can walk all around our 2500-square foot home and even out in the yard with no drop in sound quality) and the battery life is long. ... "
" ... Go wired if you want the best sound at similar price points, they will always sound better. ... "
" ... love the surround sound! ... "
" ... Fantastic sound and bass for the price. ... "

" ... The only inconvenience with them is the volume control. ... "
" ... (Those being the volume controls). ... "
" ... Only complaint is that the volume controls are difficult to find without taking the headset off. ... "
" ... I have not been able to find a combination of earphone volume and tv volume that stops the echo but allows other non-headphone viewers to listen. ... And finally, I know the RS140 head phone volume control wheel sometimes caused an inadvertent change in volume if the back on the headphone came in contact with the seat back. ... However, the new design of 3 small up/off/down buttons which are very close together makes it difficult to be sure of which to press without taking the headphone off and looking. ... A small gap between the buttons is needed to be able to distinguish between functions. ... "
" ... My husband complains about the tiny buttons to reach up and control but I think that is common with any earphones. ... "

" ... The ear pads frayed but I was able to buy replacement covers and install them fairly easily. ... "
" ... The sound quality is outstanding, and they are comfortable to wear for several hours. ... "
" ... The fit, is comfortable. ... "
" ... The ear pads fit perfectly and top of phones are padded where they hit your head. ... My only gripe was that when I kick back the recliner seat in my couch the headrest pushes the headphones forward a bit. ... "
" ... Very comfortable, especially with felt pads you can upgrade to. ... "
" ... My husband likes it for the surround sound and comfort. ... "
