Default Wireless headphone users?

Do we have any wireless headphone users here? I just picked up the Sennheiser SR-170 wireless headphones for late night movie watching so I don't disturb anyone.

I am very happy with my choice, fantastic range and good enough quality of sound for movie and music listening. I plugged the transmitter box into the back of my Pio Kuro tv set and using Roku for movies and music and oppo 83 for Blu. The transmitter box also serves as storage and charging cradle with the included AAA Ni-Mh batteries that reside in the headphones.

These cans are closed design and seal out the sound very well so you can listen without disturbing anyone around you.

I have the Sennheiser HDR-120's, but use them strictly for in bed TV watching while the wife sleeps. These are on ear headphones, which I do not find as comfortable as around ear, but they are quite OK for how I use them.

I bought Marlene a pair of wireless headphones years ago. She listens to them when watching HSN and QVC. I can't stand the cackling sales hens constant chatter about this purse, that makeup or wrinkle cream, hour after hour. She enjoys watching, and as long as she listens with the headphones to that never ending sales babble I'm good.

I purchased the Senn 140's planning on listening to music, but the sound did not work for me. I ended up buying a super long headphone cord for my Senn 650's. Not a pretty sight.

For late night tv they (140's) would be great.

I just picked up the Sennheiser RS-180 headphones which are the "open" design. Very realistic sound and great range. I hooked them up to a Denon 4308ci receiver which manages the secondary HT/music system in the living room. I got them for my wife so that she can rock out with "American Idol" and her other shows while I am reading or sleeping upstairs.
