Freedom from wires

I bought these to use on my laptop computer at the office. I needed to drown out the sound of a colleague who is constantly on the phone. I had tried regular headphones but couldnt get them loud enough. I was attracted by the wireless approach as it meant if I forgot to unplug them I wouldnt pull my computer off the desk as I stepped across the room.

Pros
They were easy to set up and use. The rechargeable batteries are good and I have found them to give good service. In fact, I haven't had to recharge them yet.

They give good volume and have large ear pads, so I can drown out all external noise nicely. I was amazed by the range. I don't know how far they go, but I can walk all around our office building and they still work through the walls of my office. Our offices are packed out with computer equipment, so I thought they would suffer from interference, but not so. I can stream music from the internet and listen to it as I walk about - how cool is that? I am going to try them out at home so I can listen to all my CDs while working in the garage.

Cons
The frequency range is better than on some models I saw, but I'd describe the sound as acceptable stereo rather than hi-fi. A little bit muffled perhaps, but good enough for the job I had in mind.

These are big clunky phones and I have been compared with Princess Laya from Star Wars, she with the funky hairdo. They are comfortable and functional, but definitely no fashion statement.
