Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle September 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I use these headphones at work to cancel out background distractions. This is the thrid set of headphones that I have purchased for this purpose. I particulary appreciate the rich sound quality of this set. I also like the charging setup since previous units have required a plug to be inserted whereas these only need to be placed on the charging unit. Another feature that I appreciate is the "Tune" (I originally thought this was the "Tone" control and couldn't understand why the music would stop when I adjusted the tone). Instead this control is used to accommodate for any drift in the transmitter/receiver link making is easy to make adjustments if the reception should degrad (I haven't really noticed this as a problem yet). The headset is operated about 10 hours a day (charged overnight every night) and the battery has never run down. I turn them on in the morning and off immediately prior to going home. The base station transmitter will shut down if it doesn't sense incoming sound (i.e. the mute button on the musice souce is active). As soon a sound inputs are resotred it turns itself back on.
Things that I think could use improvement; the headband and the earphones are offset shich means that when the headband is directly over your ears the earphones are canted back about 30 degrees. This affects the comfort of the headset. Also, the on/off switch seems to be of cheap quality. It hasn't given and sign of failure so far but I suspect it will the be first part to fail.

Watch TV While Your Wife Reads! Wireless Headphones September 18, 2008
My wife was constantly asking me to turn ther volume down while she read. I finally decided to solve the problem once and for all. I purchased the Sennheiser RS120 Wireless Headphones and now I can watch... and listen to my favorite TV sports programs while she sits in the same room and reads. These phones do exactly what they advertise; reproduce good sound while allowing you to turn the TV volume off so it doesn't disturb others. While not studio quality sound, it is good enough and also blocks out most ambient noise so all you hear is the game itself. I haven't yet tried the phones with music and am anxious to see how they do. I especially like the cradle which recharges the phones while they are not being used. You can also walk around the room or even go to another room and sound volume and fidelity does not change. These were a VERY worthwhile purchase for me. I completely recommend them. The only reason I give them a "4" instead of a "5" is because I have no basis for comparison regarding sound quality and so assume that there might be something a little better for more money out there.
 Second Sennheiser product I've owned September 16, 2008

This my third wireless headphone. It is my second Sennheiser product. The quality of both are superb. Less static than the RCA and Sharps Image models, faster re-charge rate. Better sound quality. I like the design of the battery compartment also. Twist one ear pad and there they are.
Good wireless headset September 12, 2008

I purchased a pair of these headsets for watching TV after the kids go to bed. They have excellent sound quality, battery seems to last quite long, considering 2-3 hours of use each night. Maybe charge them once a week.
Loves:
1. They are RF. Goodbye IR wireless headphones that only work infront of the transmitter. Now I can wander into the kitchen and still hear what's going on.
2. Rechargable with 2 AAA batteries. If they are absolutely dead, I can grab batteries out of storage and fire them back up.
Problems:
1. The smallest setting for the headband is still not that small. My oldest (6yo) can wear the headphones, but they fall off if she moves around. Considering she wears a hat 2 sizes larger, they are designed for a much larger head.
2. Their is no indicator light to show that they are on, or if the battery is charged. You have to physically look at the switch to see if they are on. Charged? Well, do you hear sound, try fiddling with them and make sure they didn't change tuning.
3. The last month or so, a neighbor has started using his shortwave radio. In certain places of the house, I can pickup his conversation over his CB. Not quite as entertaining as the TV.. I've changed the tuner options on the headphones the other day and haven't heard from him again.
4. Can only charge them on that gianormous base. If you plan to use them with your entertainment center, plan on making space for that large transmitter base, that is accessible so that you can charge them. Putting it behind the TV creates a bit of electrical interference (buzz). Maybe on top the EC cabinet? :)
A good purchase for me September 10, 2008
I got these to replace a wired Sony set I had for 12 years. It was a good change for me. The sounds are crisp and detailed and being wireless is terrific. I'm an audiophile and very particular about my sounds and these are A+. Only so often I will hear a quiet burst of interference but I don't blame the system one bit. The base is resting on my 12" JBL powered subwoofer next to my Onkyo rack with a MonsterPower line conditioner not 15" from it. I can freely move about the house listening away and it stays clear. Setting it up initially scared me a bit, you really do need to have it plugged in to a source before powering up the base. This sets the 'auto-on' for the unit. It didn't work initially, then I followed the instructions and it was okay. The base also didn't want to initially charge the headphones, getting the contact pads to touch the charge rail was ackward. I bent them out a bit and it charged fine. My head is a bit big so the phones naturally widened. Now I can toss the phones on the base and it starts charging easily.
