Typically I'm listening to DI.FM while at work, and I've found the limitations of headphone cords to be annoying. So I spent some time doing some research on what wireless headsets I should get.
At first glance, the Sennheiser looks nerdy, bukly and heavy. It's actually very light and super comfortable. I usually forget I'm wearing them. While advantageous, I do tend to look (more) like a dork when I walk to the print and I am still wearing them.
Which brings me to the range. The manual says 500 feet range. I have been able to wander aimlessly all over my floor and have yet to lose any signal. They also have enough batter power to last for an entire work day. And I mean a Smith work day, not mine.
Recharging is also very cool. Use just set them on the enclosed stand and it has a smart charge built in. No fuss or muss.
On to the important bits - the sound quality. 192k streaming audio and 256k mp3s sound crisp clear and with a nice full bass sound. They are also good at blocking out the hum off the office while still letting you hear your phone and such. They have volume on/off and balance controls on the unit itself for convenience.
How much? A reasonable $110 if you search online, or nearly double from the (not quite) Best Buy shops.
