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. Playing video games for example, the menus were soft and subtle, and the actual game music explodes with vivacity. It's easy to strain your ears by underestimating how neutral they can be.
This was entirely the fault of the Sony. Having said that, the sheer ability of this set to reproduce sound simply overcame the shortcomings.
The headphones presented a very wide soundstage with ample presence but not too much "air". As I stated above these are very warm sounding headphones. With the 130's, which I have used for years, this does not exist. If I'm wearing the 130's and the TV is on, I only hear the sound from the 130's.
And if you don't want to spend a fortune for 7.1 surround sound, this might be an excellent option. The only downside is they can get a little warm (would not exercise with them on, for instance). They have very reasonable range and auto-volume adjusts. NO extraneous noise. They are on the expensive side, but I'm pleased with them. I'd recommend them for anyone looking for wireless headphones in this price range.
After shopping around for a new pair I finally decided to give the wireless a try. I really did not want to waste a bunch of money for a lesser model so I went all in with the RS 180's and I am truly amazed.
The sound quality is nice, they handle bass without breaking a sweat, and lighter notes as well. There's silence where silence is to be expected; if there's hissing present in what you're listening to, you'll hear that as well. The headphones are rather large and ugly, but not heavy or uncomfortable. I can wear them for hours with no particular discomfort -- though in warmer weather, I might have a different opinion. Remember this: escape is not a luxury; it is a necessity if you want to get an advanced degree in sound and mind travel. Now get out and buy these phones!
I haven't encountered any interference to the headphone system caused by other appliances (wireless telephones and Wi-Fi) in my house. Nor have I encountered any interference to the other appliances caused by the headphone system. The digital system prevents the hiss often present in analog wireless. I don't ask much, in the terms of "range"; I'm sitting but 10-15 feet from the base-station. I really like the headphones as they have excellent quality with amazing sound. It is slightly difficult at night (in the dark) to lower the volume as the buttons are flat but once you get the hang of it they are great and you can adjust without looking at them.

About the Author:
My one dislike about these custom headphones is the cable, which is rather thin and flimsy looking. Apparently, there's supposed to be another equalizer setting with each option. infrared wireless headphones. They're light-weight and they do not squeeze my head and for that reason they do not squeeze the earpieces on my small glasses. Well, what do you expect for $20? Cordless Stereo Headphones.
