The sound quality has always been great relative to other headphones I have tried, and I had no reason to change to another model except for two things. First, the rotary volume control can easily change if you are lying down and make contact against the controls.
I should note that while I was listening to this selection I was moving around my approx. 1100 hem in an 1100 square foot apartment with no loss of fidelity at all. If the light is only flashing once, press and then quickly release the on/off button and the bottom light will begin to blink multiple times indicating it is broadcasting to more than one headset. Hope this helps.
This was, no doubt, influenced by the headphone amp of my 5200ES. You would think a $1500.00 dollar receiver could do better, but alas that is a nit that I shall pick another day. 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. The high end could be just a tad broader, the soundstage is (IMHO) too wide, but for less than 300 bucks, you could not do better. I have five other pairs of high quality phones by Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic, but had given up on finding a decent pair of wireless phones until discovering these. They all have good sound; as good as you will get for wireless. I don't notice much difference between them in terms of sound quality.
They are just Ni-Cad AAA batteries so you should just be able to replace them with standard, inexpensive rechargeable AAAs when they eventually die. Build quality is excellent.
The sound is excellent in my book. The highs are crisp, the mid-range/speech areas are clear and the bass sounds are very solid but not booming. I wish it were a little heavier because it's hard to turn the base on and off with one hand without pushing it over. The headphones fit easily over the top for storage and charging.
I ventured about my backyard with them on and at 60-75 feet from the base they tended to cut in and out. I have the base unit behind my flat screen to keep it away from the grandkids, and I'm sure if I had it higher the range would be sufficient enough to go 75 plus feet.
If these were stolen, I'd buy them again. The only con could be that, although the ear pads are very cushioned, my ears are a bit larger than the inside of the phone pad. The RS180 are a blessing as far as wireless headphones go. If you're an audiophile who demands the absolute best and wants to hear every note of Tchaikovsky, it won't be on these. Setup was fairly easy as there is an Ikea like pictogram (with words in several languages) that show/tell you how to get started. First charge is supposed to be 16 hours; I let them go roughly 24 hours.
