The headphones are light & I hardly noticed that they were, in fact, on my head. I like that the charging station gives them a "home" to go to.
Not only do they sound better than my old HD595 pair, the wireless mode is truly the next step in multimedia enjoyment. Provided you remember to charge them every night, you will never run out of battery life. The quality of the RS-180 is pretty good. It only squeaks a little on the right side of the headset when I put them on, but after I have got them set, it does not squeak anymore.
The controls (volume up, volume down, and balance) are small and right next to one another, and I can't imagine trying to use them with the phones on. It's very easy to hit the wrong button.
These are perfectly comfortable for extended periods; though I find I usually never have them on for more than a couple hours. Sometimes I just let them hang around my neck instead of putting them down; convenient. The volume up and down are aligned left and right of each other, but there is a power button in the middle - making it easy to turn off. To make it more complicated, these 3 buttons are all unique sizes and shapes from one another, and don't feel like arrows or anything relative to what their function is. 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. I have even stepped outside in the backyard with no problems. All in all great stuff, I would get them again. 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. In almost every respect, these Sennheiser RS 180 Digital Wireless Headphones are excellent: - The good experience starts with the packaging. The main box, the two inner boxes and the inner plastic container are very well designed and built like tanks. This makes it impossible for me to use them in this way. Since I have hearing issues and is why I buy earphones, I really can't use them for one purpose that is very important to me.
There's no hiss or background noise thanks to the KLEER technology. And the sound is as good as the Sennheiser HD595 they replaced. If the sound source will be on at times when you're wearing the 180's, you will probably be bothered by this. These headphones were a replacement for a set of 5 year old Sennheiser RS120 headphones that we wore out (which had in turn replaced a cheaper set of headphones).
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.

In most fairness, both of these are 10X more expensive ($200/each). I mainly bought these cans for music, gaming, and films. infrared wireless headphones. They are possibly the greatest headphones in the budget range. I just read the truly amazing reviews and chose to take a risk. Infrared Wireless Headphones.
