I can feel the volume buttons, but have to work at it. If the buttons were raised above the case and separated, it would help. The size of the buttons and their labeling are so small that anyone over 40 will have serious issues about using them. I use the earphones to watch TV while my wife is using the regular TV speakers. I get both sounds but at slightly different moments in time. To do this, with the base and headset both in the off/standby mode, press and hold the on/off buttons on both units for approximately seven seconds. If you find that only one of your headsets will work at a time, inspect the base and see if the bottom light is flashing more than once or only once. I would still recommend these headphones even with the few negatives it has. With what really counts for me is quality construction, comfort and excellent sound reproduction, these headphones have it.
They do not dwell on the surround sound capability. But, I have found the surround sound to be incredible. So I bought these because the RF headset that I normally use was starting to break down physically. I had used it for years with no real problem. First let me tell you the good things. Yes, the quality of the sound is excellent. I had some reservations on these after reading some of the reviews saying that they are small or snug, because I have a ginormous head. My hat size is about 8 1/8, and I'm 6'8 so I'm just a large person in general.
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. I bought a set of these a few weeks ago. I'm an overnight worker and try to keep my sleep pattern regular, so I'm often up all night on my nights off. The one characteristic that was accurate in my experience when using them was regarding the control bottoms in the headset. They are difficult to feel and distinguish; a really small inconvenience considering the remarkable performance of the product.
I haven't used them in the basement yet but I will next time I do my laundry. I forgot the last 2 times.
The Sennheiser is well built, sound quality is impressive, and its appearance is elegant. The only things I would change are the buttons on the earphones for power, volume and balance, maybe the way the unit is charged, and the way it turns on and off.
I couldn't be happier with these headphones. Zero background noise.
