Good for the usual

Pretty good. The reviews that remark about the fitness for TV is accurate. But definitely a step up from TV speakers. They would be fit for gaming, Skype, etc. They seem to be adequate for laptop sound as well. I found that it is little hard to get the set to fit into the recharge dock. I needed to be sure the recharge light was on. I bought a more accurate set for audio editing. I have a high end sound and graphics card in my desktop that needed a little more accurate sound.

You get what you pay for

I guess I should I have known. I'm a sucker for a good price. But with a good price you often sacrifice quality. These headphones are bigger than they look in the picture. They are huge and bulky. Not heavy.... just bulky much like the ones you see coaches of the NFL wear. Not sure if its the environment I am in (office setting), but these headphones are SUPER distorted...LOTS of static and background fuzz. The headphones have 3 channels that you can try using, but none made the sound better of fuzz go away. The range is half way decent if you are willing to tolerate the poor sound quality. I walked about 40 feet away from the base and still received a signal (which was by no means clear). If I see another set of headphones that are smaller and have better sound quality I will certain invest in them...even if it costs more. The background fuzz gets quite annoying after awhile.
