They just take some getting used to. All things considered, I highly recommend them. When they're ready, start the source, hold down the button on the base for a few seconds until it blinks, and hold down the button on your headphone for a few seconds. They handle sound-levels so well that you might be a little deceived.
The evaluation system consisted of the following: Sony STR-DA5200ES, Sony (Costco) BDP-BX57, and Sony CDP-CX335. The Blu-ray player was connected via HDMI & the 400 Cd Mega-changer was hooked up via analog connects. Quickly delivered, easy to set-up, light weight, comfortable, sound fantastic, and seem well built. I only wish I could sync them directly with my iPhone 3GS. However, the headphones and base don't seem to be constructed with particularly high-quality materials. The plastic feels light and thin -- which could be a positive, but makes me, wonder whether they could break easily. I can't vouch for the range though; I have little reason to prance around with these. But as for upstairs and downstairs in the same house, no worries with these headphones. I do periodically get a brief "hiccup" in the sound when I'm in the remote areas of the house, when I'm outside grilling on the patio, and when I walk into the garage. None of those distances exceed 150 feet, so I do question whether these headphones truly have a 320-foot line-of-sight range that Sennheiser advertises. We use Sennheiser products (mics) in our Rock Band and the performance is consistent and high-end quality. I would recommend this product to others.
It may not have the high quality of the digital systems, but it has enhanced my quality time with my family. I have several brands of wireless headphones including the Senheiser models 110, 120, and now the 180. I was excited about this alone, but I also learned that the volume controls are flat and therefore will not accidentally change as per my first point made above. Here's what I found about the 180's after one day of use.
They worked really well, but were definitely lacking in sound quality, and had a handful of other shortcomings. I decided to spend more.
They have the advantage of distance over the pioneers. The pioneers have more volume but these are OK.
I can listen at any level I wish and no one is disturbed. In addition, the sound quality is superb. Battery life was great; the original batteries are still going strong. The Sound I thought was great. So, that's probably an unavoidable issue. However, all my complaints combined don't add up to the loss of a full star.

This Sony will really feel flimsy on your head, you can't wear this long-term, and lastly the quality of sound is mediocre at best. I've been using it since 3-4 months now and my buddies like to use it. Wireless MP3 Headphones. Looking for good bass? They are doing the job but it lacks a lot sound. wireless voip headset.
