Let me just say that he hasn't found the magical area where the sounds begins to fade. One of the best features of these headphones is that they are open, so even though nobody can hear what he is listening to, he can still hear what's going on around him. If you're going out jogging for miles, don't take anything for granted. Take in mind the open design though; if you're in the same room as someone who's planning on sleeping, you can't turn these up too high.
My main caveat about this is mostly about me. I have a wireless desktop, wireless mouse, and wireless keyboard.
This is where the warm fuzzies of these headphones really paid off. In this casual close-mic setting I felt as if I was actually there & had to resist the urge several times to turn around & "see" the rest of the crowd. I can essentially use them anywhere in my house and some outside as well. Near the perimeter of the range you will get some cutting out, but step one foot closer and they're as clear as they are one foot from the base.
However, there are a few things that really frustrate me about these cans. The much mentioned volume buttons that are too small are just one. If I did this, I could not hear the TV. The Sennheiser RD180 has solved all our problems. Yes, but you get what you pay for. I absolutely love them. Both the 180's and 130's are open, so this is not explained by some type of closed environment in the 130's. It is something with the technology of the 180's that creates a slight delay in sound transmission.
This product is great; I connected it to my computer, went to my backyard and listened to my music while working in the garden. The set-up is very easy and the sound quality is amazing.
Now this takes all of 2 seconds to do but it is an extra step I find just a tad annoying. But again, this is a tiny thing and in no way is a criticism of the actual performance of these great phones. I have never given anything five stars until this product came along. Having previously owned the earlier RS 160, I knew the quality of these "cans."
I found the set-up to be extremely easy. I have found the buttons to be fairly easy to get used to but adjusting the volume required a bit of thought at first.
Two of them were such a pain to use I threw them in the trash. The third one stopped working after about 6 months of use.

I really like that the head band is open, so it doesn't overheat you. They work great. PANASONIC WIRELESS HEADPHONES. I really like my earphones. They are probably the preferred things I have ever placed on my head...not counting the sweater hat my grandma made when I was ten. infrared wireless headphones.
