1467677 2020-03-29 04:44:00 Sennheiser have got a great sound. as I said [B]Not the headphones but the wireless thing that causes intermittent whooshes and strange noises

Yes, the Philips WIRELESS THING I had did that, the Sennheiser WIRELESS THING does not.
Quality counts I'd say.

1467679 2020-03-29 20:13:00 My Sennheiser behaved as poorly as Ken's - possibly worse. My Bose headphones using bluetooth are not at all sensitive to position in relation to whatever is transmitting. I can walk around the house and still receive a good signal. I couldn't even move my head up and down or side to side with the Sennheisers without losing the signal or getting lousy sound.

I suspect the Bose technology is an improvement on what Sennheiser were using when I bought them.

And Sony is a big step up from that!

1467681 2020-03-29 22:34:00 I have always liked Sony headphones but 2 other brands seem to drag in fans. Bit like i-stuff :) Those of course are the 2 B's, Bose and Beats. Tried both and still prefer Sony for all round performance. Not bashing those two, just user preference.

Even my new phones have a problem for me. The two buttons are tiny and unfortunately on the left side of which I have a stroke damaged arm and those 5 attachments we all take for granted.... fingers are not feeling very well :) Mine have extreme difficulty finding the buttons. Any ideas anyone? Tried 2 blobs of blu-tack but I have difficulty with them. Not very tactile. Never mind :) Thinking of cutting off a couple of roundhead tops off screws and sticking them on with superglue.

1467684 2020-03-29 23:01:00 My Sennheiser wireless headphones were absolute rubbish. I gave up & sold them.
The wireless connection was noisy & unreliable .

If you buy the considerably more expensive Sennheiser wireless heaphones , supposedly they work considerably better

My Sony Noise cancelling headphones are also absolute rubbish. The noise cancelling simply doesnt work, all it actually does is boost
the mids
Both my Sony & Sennheiser & werent cheap, $150 & over $200 . But thats cheap for headphones I guess

I guess if you want this sort of thing to work on sony & Sennheiser, you need to buy the very expensive models

Yes I do believe that you get what you pay for and the top end Sony ones definately do work as advertised.
