LOOK NO STRINGS, I mean wires.
During the 25 yrs as a audiophile I have only owned one previous set of headphones, much prefering the amp and speaker setup. A change at home and a partner that doesn't share my enthusiasm for listening to music 24/7 meant in order to keep the peace i would try listening to music through my old...

Great headphones, but overpriced
These are excellent sounding headphones that are simply too expensive to warrant a 5 star rating due to the rather old 2.4GHz wireless frequency they run on. To prevent audio dropouts, some people (including myself) have had success in changing their WiFi channel on their 2.4GHz radio of their...
Pros:
- Excellent Sound Quality Variety of input options Good Wireless Range
Cons:
- Uses old 2.4GHz wireless technology which can conflict with WLAN and Bluetooth signals causing dropouts (troubleshooting section of owner's manual even mentions this)
- Unusually long charge time for batteries in headset (16 hour charge for 8 hours of use) Very Expensive

Best Headphones Ever
My husband is very hard of hearing and has tried many different headphones. This is the only one that has ever worked for him. It has to the upper end 220 model. That are a bit pricey but worth every penny.

Sennheiser RS 220
The RS 220 is the top of Sennheiser's line of wireless headphones. Instead of the Kleer technology offered on most of their wireless headphones, the RS 220 uses a lossless technology called direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).
Pros:
- Excellent sound quality
- Comfortable
- Long battery life
Cons:
- Limited range
- Prone to sound dropouts
- High price

Ultimate TV headphones
The RS220 has to be the ultimate TV and movie headphone. Sound is powerful and dynamic - especially for a wireless headphone. The headphone is well made and comfortable for long sessions. Recommended!

Practically unusable in the office
Bought them to replace 10 year old RS 130... wow what a waste.. even with the discount of 300$ from original 500$ price they are worthless. Headphones operate in the same band range as all wireless devices, your phone wifi, wireless routers, wireless mouses you name it.
Pros:
- ...
- Brand name
Cons:
- Unusable if you have any other wireless devices nearby

Awesome Sound, When You Stay Put
Wireless headphones have come a long way over the last few years, and Sennheiser was one of the first companies to introduce a set of high-quality cans for those of us who like listen and move beyond the tether range of a headphone cable.
Pros:
- Lossless audio offers fantastic sound quality
- Cushiony ear pads make for comfy long-term wear
Cons:
- Patchy wireless range kills the awesome sound buzz fast
- Plastic shell and vinyl pads seem a bit chintzy for the price.

Sennheiser RS 220
These truly are great wireless phones, particularly for those who live in open plan dwellings away from 2.4Ghz congestion. They play a game of big compromises, and you will see many negative reviews out there. That's all fine, but the sound quality does justify it in my view.
Pros:
- Huge
- open sound
- no trace of compression or digitisation
- good comfort
- great DA converters..
Cons:
- Very poor wireless range (forget it if there are solid walls)
- effected by other 2.4Ghz devices
- need a lot of power because of huge bandwidth (poor battery life)
- plastic build quality
