Bought with my own cash money.
I've had this bad boy since February and have used it every day since.
I watch TV with headphones (old habit from shared house days - cant get used to telly speakers!) and I've had a bunch of set ups over the years.
I've gone down the route of normal headphones via a cable and an amplifier and then graduated to a low latency Bluetooth transmitter and various BT headsets but none really cut the mustard. Low latency BT transmitters are a bit hit and miss - both in sound quality and lip sync responsiveness - and this is also compounded by the effectiveness of the Bluetooth headset you use. So all in all a lot of variables.
I then used the Sony 865 and Sennheiser RS180 but despite both sounding great I was tempted back down the Bluetooth path (silly move!). By the time I returned Sennheiser had updated the RS180 model to the RS185 'Audiophile' model (As if - sound was great but very far from Audiophile level). The 185 was stylish and had all the bells and whistles but the redesigned ear cups were a nightmare for this reviewer and his chunky ear lobes so off it went.
Then I saw these for a great price and thought why not (cue wife shake-of-head). And I've had them ever since! Such a surprise!
Super easy to use (once you get past Sennheisers Fort Knox plastic packaging!). Plug in. Charge. Connect tiny discrete transmitter to your audio source (I have a Switcher unit so I can switch between a few audio sources) Set volume level. Done.
So much comfier and easy to use than either the 180 or 185. Plus the transmitter/charger takes up about a tenth of the space that the cradle design uses.
Sound quality is great (provided you don't want subwoofer boomage) and I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality of them when listening to music also.
Basically it's Sennheisers house sound so it's very mid-centric but it sounds great and the crystal clear transmission is awesome. Plus the sound quality itself is a hell of a lot better than any Bluetooth option I've ever used.
Buttons on the ear cup take a bit of getting used to but they're second nature soon enough. Plus as well as adjusting the volume you can mute them! Such a great touch for adverts!
Battery life is so good I forget to charge them! It might not have a fancy charging cradle but I prefer the one wire solution than a large cradle.
Range is large enough for me to wander 2 flights of stairs without losing connection so should be fine for room to room wandering (within reason!).
No issues with any connection drop outs. At all. Ever. No issues with it affecting the wifi (and our wifi never needs an excuse to shut down and play high maintenance!).
So all in all a great sounding (if utilitarian looking) dependable set of home wireless cans that will last a long time (given the user replaceable batteries).
What's not to love?
Hope some of this helps.
