Summary: Review of the Sennheiser T40 Wireless Headphone
Review: The product is quite economical at $99. The sound quality is quite good - but not exceptional. This product is not good for office use - as it let's out a lot of sound through these 'sound vent' kind of thing. So if you like listening at a high volume don't use this. The broadcast quality is good if you're at close range or in adjoining rooms. But if there is a door in between anywhere the headphone will stop receiving. For home use this product is ideal. The cloth ear pads are real lint attractors. The product looks and feels quite sturdy. The headphone is quite light and very comfortable. Sound response is quite good. It actually seems to depend a lot on the kind of input the base broadcast station gets. So if you use some kind of amplification mechanism - the sound should be quite good.

Review: These headphones are good, though not amazing. I got them primarily for listening to the TV late at night when my fiance has to be asleep (She works early in the morning). We live in a small studio apartment in NYC, and figured this would be a great solution. And it is! There are a few tricks however, that I discovered. Actually, I didn't really discover them at all; another reviewer had this suggestion, and it was a good one. When tuning the headphones, you'll find the strongest signal may have some distortion or interferance. Go to one side or the other of the strongest signal with the tuning dial, and crank up the volume on the receiver and headphones. It's a quieter signal with less interferance. This is GREAT for watching TV, but for listening to music it's not as good because you can hear the lack of full spectrum of treble and bass. Use the stronger signal for music. The on/off button is a little small and annoying, but overall I'm really enjoying the headphones, and they're one of the less expensive ones too. Good luck!

Summary: Awesome wireless headphones!!
Review: This is an incredible headset. The headphones have warm, spatial sound reproduction with powerful bass response. The soft cloth covered earpads and lightweight, slim design provide a great fit.

And the transmitter automatically recharges the battery when the headphones are placed on the base unit!! This is a great feature instead of fumbling with batteries, etc.

This is the one to get!

Summary: Not for soft sounds
Review: This is my first pair of cordless headphones, and I'm not particularly impressed. The strong points are convenience (it is nice to walk around the house in freedom) and comfort (they're heavier than most corded headphones but not bad, and the earpads are comfy). But the sound quality is not what I had hoped: there is clear distortion in mid-range sound, bass capability is fair at best, and static can be a problem even within 15 feet of the base when the headphones are at certain orientations. Your level of satisfaction will likely depend on the type of music to which you listen; most rock and jazz will sound acceptable, but fans of vocal or classical music will grit their teeth when the grating distortion clobbers a nice passage. Despite the shortcomings I will keep this pair for primarily their convenience, but the next pair I buy will be a high-quality corded set.
