Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For starters, I do not write reviews so this will be relatively short and definitely to the point. All of the other reviews posted will tell you just about everything you may want to know and enough to make you wary about purchasing this. I wanted to share my experience to dispel the fears of anyone who is on the fence as to whether this is what it claims to be. 100%, it is precisely what it claims to be. I do not garden (I am in my early 30's so maybe that will change in a few decades at which point I will submit an updated review), I do not have hearing deficiency, my aging grandmother does not live with me who requires louder volume while watching Antiques Roadshow while everyone else watches in misery at normal people volume, I do not try to listen to music while down the street at my neighbor's house four blocks away. I live in a larger than average home with every wifi entertainment/streaming gadget known to man. I watch movies and shows at high volume, and don't want to disturb the family during late hours, etc. through my surround sound. My requirements for a wireless headset are as follows: 1) ZERO interference, static, or "hiss", or lag time between sound and screen 2) REASONABLE distance without losing signal (I think 50 ft from your TV is quite reasonable) 3) PERFECT no loss sound and deep bass as I expect from a quality surround sound system while watching a movie This headset meets all 3 requisite criteria. You can stop reading. Really. Ok, apparently you need more, due diligence = happiness I suppose. I have purchased 2 wireless RF headsets (as a reminder, this is not an RF headset) in the past from Amazon. With RF, you will ALWAYS have static. It is a fact of life, the end. No matter how much you spend on an RF headset, you will have interference and the constant "hiss". Trust me, I know, THE END. Yes, there will be one guy who responds to this review saying that his magical RF headset has no interference. Ok, buy that one. This review is not for you. Stop reading now. This review is for the guys/gals who research until their eyes bleed to ensure that the product they are purchasing is top quality. I can walk the entirety of my home listening to movies at full blast through the headsets with 100% ZERO interference (yes, I have a wife and child who prefer not to have R rated movies blaring at max volume while they are sleeping, which I why I bought this product). I stream from a Roku and Boxee Box (the greatest invention ever/cannot BELIEVE they no longer make this, I bought three (yes, literally 3) just in case Boxee 1 and 2 died and they are no longer available in the universe) with the base of the headset sitting right next to them and IT DOES NOT impact the wifi strength or streaming quality (Note: I do not have a crappy wifi router, I have a ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router because I am serious about home networking/streaming/NAS. If you have a crappy wifi router, I cannot help you. Likewise, if you prefer to listen to your music/movies with your headphones on with your head in a microwave and complain that there is interference, I cannot help you. This review is not for you. Stop reading now.). To dispel one of the common cons other reviewers have cited. "The buttons on the headset are SOOOOOOOO confusing. I wish they had a volume wheel instead of buttons for my clumsy fingers!!!!" RIDICULOUS. The reason why they have buttons is because the geniuses at Sennheiser are smarter than you. You bump a volume wheel with your hand/pillow/whatever by accident and you can go deaf, particularly if you let your kids use it (I hate kids shows so I let the little guy use them when he is watching that stuff, sue me). The buttons are perfect. It goes like this: big one = more volume, then power, then smallest button = less volume. I mastered this in less than a few hours of use. You won't use the other two buttons as they will always be on (surround sound and bass boost), so you are literally dealing with big button = loud, tiny button = not loud. I know, this is A LOT to ask. For the manufacturer (NOT THE READERS), this is a nearly perfect product. One suggestion is to make the headphones expandable/retractable, which is usually a default for high quality headsets. By expandable/retractable, I mean add a slider to each side of the headsets just in case there are people with abnormally large or small heads so they can get the perfect fit. The headset fits me perfectly, but they would not work perfectly for a youth or large headed folk. Just looking out. Expand that target market. Another suggestion for the clumsy fingered people is putting a tactile raised dot on the power button to distinguish it clearly for those who cannot master big button vs. small button. I hope this helps.
