 Headphones October 21, 2008

Absolutely wonderful headphones for TV watching! I am hard of hearing and these have been perfect for me. They charge quickly and the sound is crisp and clear. I have had no static whatsoever. I would recommend them to anyone.
Treadmill headphone shopper? October 19, 2008

If you are looking for a headphone set to watch television while you walk on a treadmill, this review is for you. I have not tested this product with a stereo.
I told myself to wait a few weeks before writing this review as I've only used it twice, but I can always update later if the headphones start acting up. I just bought this on Oct 10th and paid $59.50 for it. Before the headphones reached my door on Oct 16th Amazon jerked the price up ten bucks. I probably wouldn't have made the purchase at the new price--the extra ten bucks would have been the difference between the maybe and I don't know I was experiencing when trying to decide about buying it.
They need to knock that ten bucks right back off for the simple reason that the product totally lacks basic instructions. You can go to the manufacturer's website, sennheiser dot com, and look at a PDF file of the actual instructions that come in the box with the product. What you see is what you get. It comes in nine different languages in a strip about two inches wide for each language.
If you have a newer TV set and/or newer DVD player with multiple RCA output connections you won't have any problems. (Unfortunately both my TV and DVD player were older models)
As Amazon has raised the price of these, if you can find another RF (radio frequency) wireless headphone set at a cheaper price, you'd probably do just as well with those as this particular set. The key is to get a wireless RF headset and NOT an infrared headset. Wireless infrared headphones do not work with treadmills. Treadmills interrupt the infrared frequencies. So this review is more reporting on how RF headphone products work, indeed this particular product as it is the only one I've tried, but I imagine other RF headphones work equally well.
The two times I've used it so far, it has worked fantastic. I only watch DVDs while I walk on my treadmill so I have the headset's transmitter plugged directly into my DVD player. (I had to switch out my old player with a newer model from the living room that had multiple RCA outputs) I can turn down the TV volume to zero and turn up the headphones so loud they will almost knock me off the treadmill! (yeah, I turned it back down some)
I think I read a review somewhere online about this product where the reviewer said their television still had to be at about mid volume in order for the product to work--maybe that reviewer had the receiver connected to their television, whereas I have mine connected to my DVD player. As the manufacturer is silent regarding everything on the product, who knows, I can only tell you that I can turn my TV down to zero and the headphones cannot be at full volume without busting my eardrums.
I hope this helped other treadmill headphone shoppers save some of the hours I spent looking for a headphone set.
I only gave the product four stars because the manufacturer failed to provide a basic manual with the product and the quality of earphones themselves is a bit on the cheap side.
Just the thing ! October 19, 2008
I had a lighter weight Sony for several years. Used it for watching TV quietly. Time for something better.
This unit has clearer sound, can be heard in the next room and the earphones are very comfortable. The rechargable batteries can be replaced - a nice feature.
Works very well - has good directions.
Awesome headphones October 18, 2008
I can't say enough good about this set. I had an old tube TV and used the Sony IR wireless. They were OK, a little interference now and then, fairly comfortable. I got a new Plasma TV and the Sony set wouldn't work with it no matter what I tried. Too much loud static, could barely hear the TV. I searched on the web and did a lot of reading and saw that most folks were very happy with this set. There were a couple that still had static problems. I decided to take a gamble. I knew Amazon would take them back if they didn't provide clear sound with my set. They arrived and I nervously hooked them up and put them on. I heard static at first and thought, "Oh No!". Then I adjusted the channel dial and everything was clear as a bell! They are extremely comfortable. I can move about the house and still hear the TV fine. The sound quality is superb. I hear backround sounds on the DVD movie that I wouldn't have picked up before. I'm very happy with this set and it is well worth the money to have cordless and rechargeable.
 Comfy but not top notch October 16, 2008
They are very comfortable but the TV still needs to be on at a medium level for them to work. We also have TV ears and they are not as comfortable but there doesn't have to be any sound coming from the TV in order to hear perfectly. TV ears are more expensive. I guess it depends on your individual priorities.
