Replacing an expensive Sony headset where the padding started to disintegrate in a few months. This is way better quality and provides more functionality.

Finally a high quality digital capable wireless head set at a reasonable price point. Now I don't get in trouble with the wife for waking the baby when watching the home theater. This system allows you to have up to 2 headphones connected to the same transmitter. The problem is that BB does not sell the head set only, you have to get from factory. I purchased two systems with transmitters so now I have a spare and can charge both headsets at once. Programming the headset is a snap, just place the headset on the charging station for a few seconds and your golden. Take time to down load the manual from the manufacturer website, what in the box is just a quick set up guide that doesn't give you much info. Installation only takes 2 minutes once you know how you will connect. I suggest using the optical connection if you want surround sound quality vs the analog 3mm plug. If your gonna spend the money on these headphone, go digital, if you want analog buy some cheap wireless units. Sound quality on these unit are fantastic! I like them better than my last set of Bose wired noise canceling set at a fraction of the cost!

Works and sounds great. Enables me to watch and listen to television without blasting the volume for others in the room

I wanted some good headphones so I can watch TV (especially movies) late at night when others are in bed. Took a chance on these after looking at reviews on various websites and I must say, I am very happy with this purchase. Does just what I wanted and the sound is great!

We have two TVs set up with these. The idea is wonderful. My hard(er) of hearing husband can hear the dialogue better and can listen at a level he can hear without it being too loud for me.
However, both sets have had to be replaced in 2-3 years. Of course, the same model isn't available. Hopefully this will last longer.
Furthermore, using the same setup as the previous headset, the sound from the DVD player cannot be heard through the headset.

I love these headphones. They were easy to set up and are comfortable to wear. The sound is great and love being able to get up and walk out of the room without having to take them off. Completely satisfied with this purchase.

Finally, my Bob can hear TV. He has severe hearing loss and could not hear the TV, even with it on full volume. He is si happy now.

Great headphones with exceptional sound quality and bass. However, audio drops off randomly. Also, the rechargeable batteries don't last for 5 hours without recharging.

I have always struggled with getting good headphones audio that captures a cinema feel with booming bass and clear speech. I also happen to live in a major city in an apartment building, so blasting a surround sound set up is a no-go. While I have the excellent Sony WHXM4s that pair with bluetooth to my tv, the audio delay and lip syncing issues that come with bluetooth are horrendous and really breaks immersion.
These headphones were exactly what I wanted. First, the overall sound quality right out of the box is already amazing. I would have been perfectly happy even if there were no effects to choose. The bass is already boomy without being overpowered. Speech is crystal clear. I seriously have picked up on dialogue that used to be garbled. You can toggle a bass booster or a virtual surround sound effect. I use the bass booster on certain content that needs a bit more oomph, but I found the virtual surround effect to just make things sound tinny and leave it off. They already have an immersive sound without it. They also get LOUD. Almost every pair of bluetooth headphones have had disappointing max volumes. I love that I can crank it and never even get up to the max volume. Next, there is absolutely no audio delay or lip syncing issues I can perceive. The radiofrequency signal is vastly superior to bluetooth in this regard. Other pros include easy charging (just plop it on the stand when done) and solid battery life (Have binged for about 6 hours without charging and no issues). The range is also ridiculous. I went to the other end of my apartment and on the porch with no signal loss. They are also very comfortable. Absolutely no issues wearing for hours at a time.
I have very few cons with this as I think this is arguably the best way to watch movies with headphones. The virtual surround effect is not great though, as mentioned. You also may run into interference because it is radiofrequency. I had a disconnect once, but this was solved by turning off my 2.4 ghz channel on my wifi router. Also, you will get interference if you run a microwave (but only if it is close by). I will also say that charging stand, while functional, is a little cheap-feeling. Lastly, a very minor thing, but I wish there were audio prompts when you turn it on or when the battery is low.
Overall, these are just nit-picks and I am beyond satisfied with these headphones.

Bought these for my dad who hearing is going and causing a lot of conflict in the house over TV volume. The volume range is excellent and the "bass" button really works well. In addition, the 3 level "surround sound" works awesome.
Comfort is good but due to the leather ear cup material, they tend to build up warmth due to constrained body heat though I've worn these for hours and felt comfortable in them.
Be aware that these are definitely isolating headphones and you may not hear the phone ring when watching or be able to get the attention of someone who is. .
These are pricey, but IMHO, worth the investment.
-1/2 star for comfort
-1/2 star for price.
Overall a solid 4 star /5

Now this should have headphones work really great and have excellent sound. It has a couple of controls that most of the headsets don't have. I love them. And I plan to buy a second set within a couple of days. ... and I love the charging setup also. Easy as pie!

I've been having an issue hearing voices on the tv clearly, and thought I'd try these. After some research, these Sennheiser are highly rated, and for good reason. The battery lasts a long time (I've listened for hours with them, and I recharge them about every 2 or 3 days, just to make sure they don't die), they're pretty comfortable (although I get up and take them off every 30-60 minutes, for 5-10 minutes), and they have several sound controls from flat to surround, with "Bass Boost", which I don't use, because I don't listen to music, just tv. I think these were better for me than the 195's, because the voice quality is just as good with the 175. The connection hasn't dropped, even for a second, and I walk around the house at times, just to keep listening.
