Let me just say that he hasn't found the magical area where the sounds begins to fade. One of the best features of these headphones is that they are open, so even though nobody can hear what he is listening to, he can still hear what's going on around him. If you're going out jogging for miles, don't take anything for granted. Take in mind the open design though; if you're in the same room as someone who's planning on sleeping, you can't turn these up too high.
My main caveat about this is mostly about me. I have a wireless desktop, wireless mouse, and wireless keyboard.
The volume and balance are controlled by small, low-profile buttons on the outside of the right ear cup. For me, it's been tough to find and operate those buttons by feel. I was excited about this alone, but I also learned that the volume controls are flat and therefore will not accidentally change as per my first point made above. Here's what I found about the 180's after one day of use.
However, there are a few things that really frustrate me about these cans. The much mentioned volume buttons that are too small are just one. If I did this, I could not hear the TV. The Sennheiser RD180 has solved all our problems. Yes, but you get what you pay for. I absolutely love them. Both the 180's and 130's are open, so this is not explained by some type of closed environment in the 130's. It is something with the technology of the 180's that creates a slight delay in sound transmission.
Now that I am able to hear so well again, makes the Sennheiser RS 180 Headphones well worth their cost. I have/had both multiple wired/wireless headphones, so I've put together a mental list over time, of what worked, and what hasn't.
So, I'm very happy to rate these headphones at an Excellent 5 stars out of 5. It took me a long time to pull the trigger on these headphones, but believe me it was well worth the money. Next to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, I don't think another pop act captures the zeitgeist of the 80's as well. Next I moved on to a Blu ray concert of Hall & Oates Live at the Troubadour.
I found the set-up to be extremely easy. I have found the buttons to be fairly easy to get used to but adjusting the volume required a bit of thought at first.
Two of them were such a pain to use I threw them in the trash. The third one stopped working after about 6 months of use.
