I also had the weak part that is mentioned break on me. I contacted SennhauserUSA and sent them in for repair. They repaired them for free and sent me two free batteries as well. Great service, and quick. I had them back in less than two weeks and didn't pay a dime.

Overall, I am satisfied with the Sennheiser HDR 85 wireless headphones. The two most important factors -- sound quality and comfort -- are very good. However, there are a number of things to criticize.
The short battery time is a real annoyance. Run-time is only a few hours, while recharging takes about 14 hours. Even with two batteries, I can barely use the headphones for half a day. The batteries are more than enough for watching movies or listening to music/radio for a while, but not for...

I have to agree with other comments about the Sennheiser HDR 85, good sound quality, but shamefull robustness. This thing breaks really easily in multiple weak points. Terribly feeble pivot points.

Yes this has just happened to my phones too, after 22 months and occasional use. The phones have good sound, but the plastic is brittle.

<br>Mine broke in the first week of use.
<br>Not recommended.
