Pros: Sounds great just out of the box!
I couldn't hear any audio distortion.

Sounds way better than any "bluetooth" headset.

There is very low "white noise" (unlike other cheaper RF headsets) [Seems to be grounded better than average RF headsets -- a little white noise is normal for RF technology, or so I'm told!]

Has a snug comfy fit. you could wear this for days and your ears will feal fine!

Seems to work very well with the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional 70SB088600002 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card

Charging the headphone is simple, just mount them properly on the set rest so that the metal headset prongs make a connection with with headband. (Look at the foam grooves, you will see indentations, put them there) The base charge light will light up red when they are charging.

Cons: Not all the instructions are in English, just follow the pictures provided, a 7 year old should be able to do this... :)

This is not a "con" but if the audio quality sounds bad... Recharge the batteries!

Other Thoughts: Note: Use the supplied rechargeable batteries - DO NOT use standard AAA batteries. The first Charge is for 24 hours, and you should get 18 hours use each charge.

Note: that you need to be careful about not stretching these headphones out, as this may make charging them a pain later, and they may not fit your head right. (Don't spread them out wider than the width of your head)

Make sure to set your sound card to 24bit 96000 Hz (Studio Quality) Output. Also adjust the EQ, Crystallizer, ands SVM (+ CMSS 3D if you use it) as this will improve quality.

Tuning the headset is easy it's just a spin wheel like most volume controls on headsets today (Although mine required no adjusting!)

I will re-review again later after I've had a chance to judge the audio performance quality.

Noise Cancelling not as advertised

Reviewed By: BloodyViking on 11/30/2006

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Nice sound. Wireless works very well. Comfortable to wear

Cons: The item is listed as "Circumaural Wireless RF Headphone - Retail". These headphones are NOT circumaural. They fit on the *outside* of my ears not *over* them. For this reason, the noise cancelling capability is not nearly as good as headphones with an actual cup that seals around a person's ear.

Other Thoughts: I sit in a cubicle area with loud people on both sides of me. My old headphones (now broken) sealed around my ears and shut out a great deal of noise without any music playing at all. I tried this set of headphones in the same environement and even *with* music playing, I could still hear my neighbors voices (all too well).

Multiple connections possible

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: I got these on a special so I decided to get 2, because I live in an apartment complex and I have to keep the noise down when I'm watching movies/shows/gaming late at night with/without my girlfriend and/or friends. I hooked one to the console audio and computer sounds. I set each to different channels and the headsets can pickup both channels. I could still hear it on the other side of the apartment.

Cons: Sounds drops out here and there. There's a bit of white noise and it changes depending on where you move to. Too bad there's no recharging station for the headset.

Other Thoughts: For people to get an idea of the product, you plug the receiver in (AC adapter and audio source) and you chose 3 different channels. After you put in the included batteries and turn it on, you just tune it like a radio until you get to a comfortable volume (without too much white noise). After you get the 'sweet spot', just adjust the volume accordingly.

Pros: The sound is great, response is as good as it gets in this class, very easy fit, adjustable, comfortable, holds charge, no interference. You get what you pay for and this works awesome. Connections are very useful, too. Looks good as well.

Cons: Price is a bit high, but that is the manufacturer's fault. Price is the same everywhere, and seemingly all the time, too. Last year these were the same price. But, you get what you pay for, and you will be 100% satisfied with these phones.

Other Thoughts: So, if you are going to buy them, might as well buy them from Newegg, esp. if they have a shipping deal or such. I am very satisfied with these cans. I use them for music and games. I also have $300+ studio phones, and these wireless ones hold up pretty well. Obvs these are for modern consumers and the general public, so expect some color.

Pros: wireless, easy to use, you can use it everywhere in your house. backyard, front yard, basement, first floor, near your computer, no problem! The signal strength is good enough for regular house space.

Cons: I have a big head so it was really tight at the beginning.

"headband" cracked in the middle after 2+ years of using, as I said I have a big head. I'm still using it though, but I'm planning to buy another high quality wired headset, maybe hd555.

The rechargeable battery that came with the headset sucks. I suggest whoever intent to buy this headset to buy a pair of extra rechargeable battery with better mAh. At least fully charge the battery before you use it the first time!

I've changed the battery once after two years of daily use. The original battery died out, it is normal though.

Other Thoughts: I've been using this headset 5-15 hrs everyday for the past 3 years. I'm really satisfied with it. It is my first Sennheiser headset and my first wireless headset. I'm not a pro so the sound quality is ok for me, but now I want to try some higher quality wired product. I hope sennheiser will give me another surprise.
