Excellent range, terrible comfort

These phones have excellent receiving range, working through almost 180 degrees. The sound quality, while not very good is acceptable for listening to television. Battery life is very good. HOWEVER THEY ARE HIDEOUSLY UNCOMFORTABLE!!! There is no swivel whatsoever, neither vertical nor horizontal. If your head is not shaped like the SONY dummy you are out of luck. To make things worse the ear pads (not cups) are foam plastic which is an excellent insulator making them quite hot.
It is so bad that I am trying to work a kludge with an old set (40 years) of Pioneer phones from my radio days.

Some of the attribute questions asked are not applicable. How can you ask me about durability and battery life when I just purchased the item?
It was very easy to set up, works great and unlike a lot of reviews posted on it there is no problem with setting it in the cradle and making the recharging connection.
I purchased it for my 82 year old mom so that she can watch TV late at night without disturbing others with the high volume she listens at. If she can work this item it is totally easy!

Currently have 2 of these, and have given some away as gifts.
GOOD:
- cheap (when on sale)
- reasonable sound quality
- comfortable
- easy to hookup and use
BAD:
- IR range is somewhat limited (line-of-sight)
- sound quality is not that good at higher volumes
- durability not quite as hoped - my father-in-law blew his out quickly
- battery life is only fair
