Not up to a good direct wired headphone, but pretty good in the context of a wireless headphone. Wireless range is somewhat limited, I was not able to get a noise free signal in all the rooms of my house. All that would have satisfied my wireless expectations but...
  The darn thing crapped out after a few months. This unit is not up to Sennheiser's usual... more info
