I will experiment with them soon and update this review. Range can severely suffer if you start walking around corners or have too much between the headphones and the transmitter. So, that's probably an unavoidable issue. However, all my complaints combined don't add up to the loss of a full star.
If you accidentally hit one of the balance buttons, you can hold down both balance buttons at the same time to reset. Oh, and one other potential drawback: they make the wearer look like a total dork.
I haven't used them in the basement yet but I will next time I do my laundry. I forgot the last 2 times. They sound great! The controls are hard to use without actually taking the headset off and looking at which buttons you are pressing.
I have used these headphones about 6 times for usually about 2 hours each time (normally playing Xbox 360). As I write this, I am using them to listen to music streamed off my PC sent through my PS3. I knew I had to have a set of my own. When I started looking I didn't have to look very far. I can essentially use them anywhere in my house and some outside as well. Near the perimeter of the range you will get some cutting out, but step one foot closer and they're as clear as they are one foot from the base.
They twist and adjust quite a bit to fit different size and shaped heads. The base is modern and nice looking.
I used these to replace a set of Sennheiser RS 140 wireless headphones. Unlike the 140, the 180 are digital -- no static or white noise. I red some comments before I bought them that they are difficult to pair - I didn't find that at all. In fact, as soon as powered up the transmitter and put the batteries in, they came right on!
On the RS140s, the volume was just a scroll wheel that could be easily located and adjusted quickly, for instance, when you want to shut up "Crazy Larry's" TV commercial. The sound is not well-suited to TV listening either. The only thing coming through the headphones is a beautiful reproduction of the source material. The sound coming through these FAR surpasses anything coming out of my VIZIO Class XVT Series TruLED XVT472SV 47-Inch 240 Hz SPS LCD HDTV (Black). The sound is really great quality, and because they are so lightweight, you can probably wear them for hours without any discomfort. I highly recommend these headphones, especially for couples who don't have the exact same sleep schedule.

General, great headphones. I was looking specifically for over-head rf wireless headphones to help dampen the noise in the environment sometimes. wireless home stereo. Fantastic pair of headphones. The ten foot cord is a big plus also. INFRARED WIRELESS HEADPHONES.
