I experience a great deal of static depend on the position of my head while I be wear these headphone , so move around for the best static free reception be a real bother , and then I have to `` freeze '' my position . even with the comfortable ear cup , my ear will feel a little pinched long before a movie be over . the surround sound be not like a true 5.1 speaker system , but then , they do not claim it would be . I might have be better off with a cord headphone , but then there be the bother of put away the 15 ' cord . I do like the ability to move around the room , go to the kitchen , etc. without miss the sound , even though there will be some static come and go as I move around .
