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." Very comfortable and out on patio with great volume. The grandkids can I watch TV.
In a word I did not like it. You could tell it was trying to distill the 5.1 mixes down to 2 channels & frankly it did not do a good job. But day to day, incredible range and quality (I live in a townhouse and I can go between floors). It's much better than my older RS130. Also the RS180's fit on her head better than the RS120s which were always loose (and would fall off when she looked down quickly). In my opinion The RS180s are worth the extra $. I finally ended up with the Blu ray of Transformers. Now again I have to mention that my Sony receiver was found lacking. My ears also hurt after a short time due to the foam ear pads. After more research I decided to give the RS180 a try. On the other hand, if the earphone charging station and transmitter were separated, I guess they might both need AC power, which would increase the cost of the unit. There is also a split-second delay between the time you hear something on the TV speakers, and the time you hear the same thing on the headphones.
The RS120 model used one wheel for on/off and volume control. The RS180's uses three small flush-mounted buttons for up/down volume with the On/Off button BETWEEN the volume buttons! Very pleased with the RS180 and well worth the additional cost. These headphones are great.
These cans utilize Kleer technology and an open design. I always preferred open headphones for the more natural bass response and to my 50 year old ears these sound great.
Finally someone delivers and stands up to all the promises. After opening the box I was quite pleased with the build quality and color.
Good instructions and it looks very sleek and modern. Works fantastic.
The only thing I did not like so much about this product is that when you use it for a long period of time, around 30-45 minutes, your ears sweat and get desperate warm. Ordered 2 and received very timely.

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. Would be nice it it had balance control. Cool Headphones. These are good for movies and music. Will continue to use them for several years in the future. WIRELESS HEADPHONES FOR COMPUTER.
