" ... That is as far as sound quality goes . ... I was impressed at how well they sounded since RF technology is inferior to Bluetooth, or at least that's what I have heard. ... "
" ... The sound is slightly on the dull, rather than tinny side, and the overall sound quality is very nice. ... I enjoy hearing every small sound in movies, and actually prefer wearing the headset instead of listening through speakers. ... "
" ... I was able to clean my car with these while my computer played the music, that alone is enough reason to have purchased these. ... "
" ... I also have the Sennheiser HDR 85 wireless headphones and these blow them away. ... These headphones sound just like high end wired cans, crystal clear with Speech and music 5 Stars. ... "
" ... Sound is so great I wear them even when the speaker is on. ... "
" ... Used on a movie and there comfortable and sound great. ... "
" ... Helps my hard of hearing husband enjoy the TV without blasting the sound to the rest of us. ... He can hear the TV while the rest of us listen at the level of sound we enjoy. ... "
" ... Excellent sound quality and range. ... "

" ... I've used them for long movie sessions without discomfort or sweat. ... "
" ... Only reason for not giving them a 5 star rating is that they fit on the tight side and not quite as comfortable as my last set of Sennheiser's with the HDR-180 headset. ... "
" ... Well, while they are fantastic, comfortable, easy to use and setup they are not 100% comfortable when you lay you head back on the sofa to watch TV. ... You almost have to find the comfort position. ... Don't get me wrong, these are definitely worth buying but if you want really comfortable headphones while sitting on your sofa these 'may not' be ideal. ... "
" ... The padding on the "muff" keeps all of the pressure on your skull and not your ear so you can wear them for a long time without fatigue. ... "
" ... I didn't buy this for its quality of sound, I bought it because every review said the earphones were very comfortable and they are. ... The point is I keep them on for long periods and I forget that I have them on. ... "
" ... Overall, very happy with the product, the build materials could definitely use work as the ear pads are brittle and silly to work with. ... Hnoestly, everything about his product is great but for the longevity of the ear pads - those suck. ... "
" ... I am sensitive to microwaves right up against my head I suppose. ... I don't put my cell phone up to my head because after a minute I feel a difference. ... "
" ... The comfort is very nice and these don't slide off my head like mt other Sennheisers did. ... "

" ... We couldn't get the wireless aspect to work with our Samsung tv and our Pioneer receiver. ... "

" ... A bit pricey but well worth the extra cost. ... "
" ... As good as the 185s are, considering the years that have gone by and the increase in prices, I was expecting a bit more. ... "
