Wireless Headphones:
Pros: Very comfortable for extended listening. Excellent to outstanding sound quality. Excellent operation, when in same area of transmitter. Spare battery, so a charged one is always ready.

Not perfect but way better than many reviews!:

I've previously used other Sennheiser professional gear. In some cases in... more info
Acceptable while it lasted, but...:
No wireless headphone is ever going to sound like a good direct wired headphone. I knew that going in, and I found the sound quality acceptable. Not up to a good direct wired headphone, but pretty good in the context of a wireless headphone. Wireless range is somewhat limited, I was not able to get a noise free signal in all the rooms of my house. All that would have satisfied my wireless expectations but... The darn thing crapped out after a few months. This unit is not up to Sennheiser's usual... more info
