Fantastic performance for the price. October 31, 2008
For less than $100, you can have wireless headphones that are RF rather than line-of-site IR, which means you can get up from the sofa, walk to the kitchen for a cool one, or even go relieve yourself from too many cool ones...while not missing any of the program audio. As with any over-the-ears full size headphones, they can make your ears sore if wearing them too long, but that's what commercials are for...when I take them off. I even use them when the entire family is watching something if I really want to listen and they're chatting about other things. My kids use them to play Rock Band without shaking the walls. My father-in-law used them during a visit, as he likes to stay up late watching movies. He absolutely loved them, so we ordered another set for his Christmas present.
 DISAPPOINTING October 30, 2008

I puchased these so my wife can watch TV while I read. I'm in law school, so I read everyday for many many hours. Anyway, these headphones are horrible. I don't know if it's Sennheiser's problem, or if the technology for wireless headphones just isn't that great yet. In any case, here is a list of the problems we've had:
1)deafening static blares through them the second you push mute; basically, if no sound is going through them they start screaming at you so loud you almost throw them across the room. For instance, if my wife wants to tell me something, she pauses the tv and starts talking to me, but then the headphones send that horrible static through them within a few seconds so she has to pause the TV and turn the headphones off. This=annoying to her, and rightfully so. I'll take a long cord any day over that nonsense.
2) There seems to be a bit of static interference most of the time. Don't get me wrong, sometimes they sound great, but for the most part they do not.
3) We've also now had to replace the batteries, but we've only had them for about 1.5 mos. That=lame.
Anyway, for the price these are not recommended. I thought I was buying my wife the Ferrari of headphones, but I ended up with something more like a Daewoo after suffering abuse for five years at a rental company.
Again, I'm not sure if Sennheiser has anything to do with these problems; maybe the technology for these just isn't there yet.

clear, crisp sound. No wires and I can walk around my entire apartment listening to TV or music, good range. Easy to use, just feels like very good quality item. Blocks out annoying neighbor and outside noises.

Setup tip: turn up the TV volume to about 70%, then adjust headset volume to suit. If you keep the TV volume down, then crank up the headset volume, you're gonna get alot of noise.
I am using the RS120 with a cheap color TV and DirecTV standard def box. The base station plugs into a headphone port on the TV. See comment above on setting the volume levels, before you conclude that the headphones are noisy.
I did have to charge overnight before the headphones were usable out of the box. Once charged, I used them very successfully for the first time last nite. The sound quality is good, with a very light hiss of background noise. The background noise is not annoying and is way down in level, but is good since it tells you that you the headphones are on and it's the TV program that might be silent for the moment
The comfort is nice, but if you're sitting in bed with your head against a pillow, then you may find that the pillow sort of pushes the headphone cups away from your ears. So it takes a bit of pillow punching to get everything squared away, but this unit perfectly accomplished my mission, which is: to watch TV at night without waking the spouse up.
Charging seems pretty automatic - just place the headset on the chargers hanging rack, and the red light indicates charging is going on. You don't have to be accurate about positioning.
Highly recommended. I did not give the full 5 stars just because at times I felt I heard some distortion in actors voices now and then... like a sample error of some sort... it was minor but noticeable. Not sure it wasn't the satellite downlink, but I never heard this through the TV speakers. I would recommend this unit to anybody, you will definitely be happy... I am nitpicking on holding back that 5th star.
