5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: very clear sound, have not tried to see just how far i can go yet but they have been perfect throughout my apartment and balcony (with cement walls)

they don't necessarily lack bass, its just not thumping like wired over ear headphones, which i prefer. the bass sounds very clean.

Cons: will update here once i have used these for a few weeks and had an opportunity to drain battery completely a few times

5 out of 5 eggsVery good wireless headphones

Pros: Sound: Very good high quality sound in all ranges. Bass is not overpowering, but they are definitely capable of delivering booming bass.

Range: Slightly shorter than I was expecting (through walls), though it is able to handle any size room you want to throw at it. It only loses connection through a couple of walls or a long distance.

Comfort: Very comfortable, not too heavy, and really flexible to form to any head. For my first pair of over the ear headphones, I am very pleased with the way these feel.

Battery: I haven't given them a chance to run the full battery out yet, but they seem to have a sufficiently long battery life.

Comes with multiple country power adapters and all cables needed to start using this with anything using a headphone jack.

The base is able to use batteries or a wall plug. HUGE selling point for me to buy these, makes it worth every penny.

Cons: I wish there was some sort of battery indicator for both the headphones and the transmitter.

Other Thoughts: Some people have mentioned that the buttons are hard to press/find. They are obviously not trying hard enough, there are only three and a quick feel can easily determine each one. This is a non-issue for anyone with common sense.

2 out of 5 eggsnot so much

Pros: sound good when in range

Cons: range 40 ft., don't really work through walls, even plain sheetrock. Very light, fragile and cheap feeling compared to my RS 140's. No balance control.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Clear (Kleer) CD quality sound from a wireless headphone! Simple setup and connectivity along with good sound quality make these as good or better than many wired headphones in the same price range.

Cons: A little stiff in the adjustments, and the main band and other components are a little bit cheap plastic feeling. Other than that, no complaints after a week.

Other Thoughts: I'm a hobbyist audiophile, and as far as headphones go, I rate these somewhere between the $250 Denon's and the $800 Stax that I've listened on recently. I'm very impressed with the overall sound quality, and from a wireless set! I can't wait to try the RS 170's and RS 180's.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent

Pros: This product is excellent. Faultless, interference-free reproduction in every room of my (OK, small) house.
Well worth the extra cost over conventional FM Wireless phones. Plus excellent service from Newegg as always.

Cons: The on/off and volume controls are very small and too close together.

Other Thoughts: Newegg's product specs don't make clear the difference between conventional FM wireless phones and these digital phones using Kleer technology.
I have the impression that the reproduction is significantly better than Bluetooth.

5 out of 5 eggsGREAT!

Pros: Great sound, no interference. I haven't gone outside with them yet, but I can go into other rooms and there is absolutely no signal deterioration.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Don't know what the other guy is used to, but these thing give me plenty of bass.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat for movies and being mobile

Pros: I really liked the headphones for their ability to be free from cords. You can walk around most of your house and still bump some tunes. They are comfy.

Cons: Not all the bass that I thought I could get from Sennheisers. They also got a little too warm for me from the times I laid down in bed with them. More weight than I'm used to having on my head.

Other Thoughts: Thought that these would be great because they merged the two needs that I have: High quality sound and able to take it on the go. I now realize that I'd rather have some nice HD 595's with an amp at home and then some cheaper headphones that are able to be powered by an ipod for the road.
