But this is just a nitpick really, they can still be used, and it should be noted that I'm using the batteries which came in the package.

When you take the headphones off, you must press the ON button on the base unit, and then press the power button on the headphones before they will work. You can't go wrong with Sennheiser! We replaced a cheaper item with the Sennheiser RS 180 Digital Wireless Headphone System. These headphones are fantastic. I use them for video games and movies, as well as music. There is no static. I wear them for several hours a day and they're quite comfortable. They have the advantage of distance over the pioneers. The pioneers have more volume but these are OK.
