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.
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! The ultimate test was the television with 5.1 surround sound. When these headphones were plugged into the home theater system, for the first time he was happy. Like a new remote control on a new TV, yes, it does require some getting used to but we have had fantastic feedback otherwise. These are simply the best full-sized wireless headphones that I have heard. The headphones presented a very wide sound stage with ample presence but not too much "air". As I stated above these are very warm sounding headphones.
Everything considered I would recommend this headset highly to anyone! I bought this wireless headphone system to use while watching TV late at night, so I won't wake my spouse who sleeps upstairs above the TV room. The size of the buttons and their labeling are so small that anyone over 40 will have serious issues about using them. I use the earphones to watch TV while my wife is using the regular TV speakers. I get both sounds but at slightly different moments in time. Others have mentioned that the controls on the right earpiece take a little to get used to. Maybe it was the fore warnings, but I had no trouble. It is probably about 1/3 of a second. That may not sound like much, but when you're playing 32nd notes on a guitar, what you're playing gets to your ears 4 notes later than you played it.
Panasonic I think. I wanted to spend the money and get something with better sound and more comfort.
They're not inexpensive, but they work (for me) really well. I purchased these for my step-father. The headphones are comfortable though I would like a bit more padding spanning the entire headband. The buttons on the headphones that control power, volume and balance (handy if you have asymmetrical hearing deficits) are too small and flat. The buttons are very small, close together; and insufficiently raised above the background. With practice, however, I've learned to use all of them without having to remove the headset. They twist and adjust quite a bit to fit different size and shaped heads. The base is modern and nice looking.

Your ears will start to sweat eventually, but that actually can not be helped. Well, what do you expect for $20? WIRELESS HOME STEREO. They're total crap. Avoid these headphones I purchased these for my mp3 and they are worst than my previous head phones. infrared wireless headphones.
