I can walk into other rooms on the same floor without drop-off, though if I go upstairs from the base station, I do encounter some occasional zones where reception drops off. I can't say as how good the reception would be if I went outside to deck or yard -- an occurrence unlikely at the moment, since it's sub-zero outside where I live.
I am usually watching TV at night in the dark so it is my particular circumstance that causes this inconvenience. If the adjustment knobs stood out they would rub against my pillow and that would be a disadvantage, so I will accept this issue.
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. I am very pleased in all respects. The sound quality is excellent -- on par with expensive, cable-connected phones.
That said, contrary to how these headphones are described on Amazon, these headphones DON'T have "dynamic surround sound." I wish they did and I wonder why they don't, as the lower-level Model RS 170 headphones have surround sound.
It is not like the way other manufacturers design their earphone. I am able to hear the sound around me and yet without having the compromised sound quality.
They are very comfortable; you almost forget you are wearing them. Installation was very simple to do. The surround sounds are incredible. It makes watching movies with outstanding sound tracks a real treat. I was excited about this alone, but I also learned that the volume controls are flat and therefore will not accidentally change as per my first point made above. Here's what I found about the 180's after one day of use. I bought and returned two other pairs of wireless headphones in the sub-$200 price range before springing for these, and simply put they are worth the extra money. There's no interference, the sound quality is excellent throughout the range and the hiss that plagues most other wireless headphones doesn't exist. 6 months later - update Takes some pretty fancy technology to really impress me these days, and but these headphones are nothing but perfection. I have used high end corded headphones for a long time, and have always preferred Sennheiser. Since it cannot process the lossless codecs via bit stream, everything was fed to it as PCM. This caused the receiver to automatically apply its own processing (aptly named Headphone 2CH).
Interestingly, when the models 110 and 120 go out of range you get static, but the 180 just cuts off (which is slightly better I think). The range is essentially exactly the same, maybe 70 feet for the models 110 and 120, and 72 feet for the model 180. And, most importantly, the sound is absolutely amazing. There's no extraneous background noise at all: no hissing, no hums, no snaps, crackles, or pops. They were expensive but I use them for so much now that they were worth the money I spent, for sure. And they are so easy to store and charge on the base- they are always ready to use.

I have no issues with them. The general feel for these Auvio wireless headphones is extremely plastic. Wifi Headphones. These headphones barely muffle sound at all (primary reason I purchased them) plus they are big. Delicate midrange sounds are often heard. rf wireless headphones.
