Strengths
Sound quality really good for wireless, the best i have heard in fact for wireless. Better than a lot of wired too, to my ears these sound wonderful. I have a lot of headphones and am into audio as well. I think the sound would suit the tastes of 90% of people. For movies these kill, got me though when my daughter was in infant :) They extremely conformable with easily replaceable pads. i upgraded to the felt pads you can buy the 185 pads and they work fine. They are better than the stock ones that come with these for those of us that like the feel of felt.
Simply fun to listen to. Close as you will get to a 2k home theater on a budget.
Really just want to cut to the chase these are fun to listen to, and i feel they sound wonderful for movies. I can honestly say i don't think they could be any better for this usage.
Also love having replaceable batteries. I have had this for a couple years now, and a buddy has has his a previous model for more than 10 years old (180) so i know they hold up fairly well.
Weaknesses
They don't leak sound, but the sound isolation isn't the best as compared to some other over year phones i have tried. It isn't bad, just don't expect super isolation.
The head band pad is not the best. Fake leather feels a little thin there too. The build is also not the most robust. I haven't had any issues but i am also really careful with my things. I wouldn't drop it. I'd be surprised if it could sustain a fall from 4-5 feet on a hard surface with out breaking.
The price i paid for the full unit with the base station was 171. It is a buy at that price, no regrets, in fact i like the sound so much if i could find it for that price or lower i'd consider picking up a second done for work since i like it better than Bluetooth. while it isn't quite as flexible as bluetooth since you need this station, it performs better, and there are no hiccups with either lag, or bluetooth issues like jitter etc. In fact in all the years of owning this i have never had any issue audio or otherwise. I think 270 which i see from time to time is asking way too much though they are good but let's not be crazy. The mark up on head phones is absurd. I'd wait for a sale. For what these do they are wonderful. If you want a pair of cans for your home theater system or computer, and don't need as much flexibility as bluetooth provides and have a scenario where audio performance is paramount, you'll totally love these.It really is significant in terms of quality it is a rich sound, with a nice sound stage and imaging which helps for movies and games.
While not perfect if I am being picky, after years of owning this i am giving it 5 starts because i still use it, and it has served me really well, and i have been totally satisfied with my purchase. In fact i used this and my Bluetooth cans more than any of the corded ones i have these days, and i have some nice ones. This sound just about as good as some of my high end cabled head phones especially for things like movies. They are particularly tuned for that. My main gripes are I would love to see 1.) more isolation, 2.) more robust build quality 3.) this quality of sound on Bluetooth if it is possible. I mean i feel like i have to treat these things like fine china which they are :) I can honestly say these'd would by far be my go to head phones in all scenarios if i could get this sound quality on Bluetooth and not paying 500 dollars.Here is hoping. These have great imaging and are almost as good as open back headphones in sound stage. there is almost a surround sound nature to them, but they just sound great. If you want uncompromising high end sounds for your movies in a head phones these are the ones to get.

Sound is pretty good, construction and engineering fair at best...
The sound is very good for people with hearing loss to watch TV. There are features for high bass and surround sound which don't seem to do much of anything but it might work for you.I am guessing a true audiophile would want to go up in price quite a bit over these.I bought these as a presumed upgrade to the RS160 which had several annoying features and basically quit working and fell apart after three years of light use. I thought Sennheiser, being German craftsmen and all, would have fixed the issues by now. They did somewhat, but still these headphones have problems.Some things to know on setup: It took my set three full days before the charging light turned from red to green. The manual suggests it might take 16 hours which is a long time to wait to try out new phones. Patience is required.If you pop a couple AAA alkaline batteries in the headphones they will work fine. Not sure for how long but no doubt good in a pinch.To start the headphones you MUST press then hold the button down on the transmitter or headphones for several seconds. PRESS AND HOLD until the green light goes on. Ditto for turning them off, 2-4 seconds or so.The construction is still disappointing cheap plastic which will no doubt NOT age well at all. Try to NOT remove the pads too much because it's all cheap fragile plastic and will no doubt break in the worst places if you mess with them.The control buttons are a complete FAIL on this model, only very slightly better than the truly awful RS160.On this model the weird large controls on the headphone still are very hard to work once you have the headphones on your head. Meanwhile, if you take them off the lettering is extremely small and in a gray color only slightly lighter than the black plastic or black on black.The bottom line is these folks just can't get the controls right. What's needed is old fashioned distinct LARGE (1cm) real, ROUND raised buttons with a finger indent labeled with BRIGHT white LARGE lettering. This is too hard for Sennheiser to figure out, though. So you will spend a lot of time fumbling with them at all times while wearing the headset. QUITE annoying.You can increase or decrease sound by TAPPING repeatedly on the control OR PRESS then HOLD to get the desired level. Press/Hold works better, but is not mentioned in the manual.This headset has pretty good sound. But, the ergonomic engineering and construction is ...not good.Thus, 3 stars.
