Like many people I went on Amazon trying to find a good wireless headphone system for watching TV at night when the kids and spouse are asleep. I'm in the technology field and it takes a lot to impress me, this impressed me, period. we can't wait to have an opportunity to use it. My wife and little girl tried it and they love it. I received the unit on 7/1/09 and set it up to charge for 24 hours as recommended by the user guide. The Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle received a lot of very good reviews.
Of course there were also folks that had problems with the system. So, I was a little nervous about the purchase. I usually don't write reviews, but I had to for this product. Did I mention that the headset is very comfortable. I was blown away. You owe it to yourself to try this unit, if you don't like it, I would be very, very surprised. Well it is.
Wow. I looked at many products and saw good and bad reviews for each. I plan to watch a movie tonight with it on and for once I will not hear my little girl say "daddy please turn the TV down". I hooked it up to the audio out on my AT&T U-Verse cable box, turned on the headset, tune the channel and bingo the audio was streaming to the headset. This thing sounds great, it has bass, clear audio and a bonus I was able to go to any room in a 2 story 3000 square foot house and the signal quality remained the same. priceless. Enjoy.
I bought a low cost Wal-Mart version of this product for $25. This proved to be a waste of time.I bought the RS-120 off the internet and am quite pleased with the performance. Other posts have complained about hissing - I have only experienced this when the sending unit, in my case the computer, is idle and not playing anything. Again I am quite pleased with this model and would recommend it to anyone who wants to go cordless for a distance of 40-50 feet.
I have owned Sennheiser RS120 headphones and they help me to hear better while watching DVD's (I have some hearing impairment). Folks who visit us and try the headphones rave about the sound quality. However, when watching with my spouse, I couldn't use the headphones and I lost some of the dialogue.The additional headphones have solved the problem. They perform as well as the original phones and charge on the same cradle (at a separate time). My son-in-law bought them so he can do his "honey-do" tasks and listen to sports at the same time. (Who says guys can't multi-task).
A wonderful product for me. I can actually hear in my "bad ear" with these. It's a relief for me as well as my wife to not have to keep asking "what did they say." to keep track of the show I am watching. These headphones are the perfect item for me. My lovely wife is happy to no longer having the TV blaring. I can use them while my wife can use the speakers at a sound level she is comfortable with. Being hard of hearing (nearly totally deaf in one ear) I have tried several devices to enhance TV watching. I don't have to have the volume up very loud to hear clearly and I can move to any location in my house and garage and still hear well.
The headphones are comfortable for long periods of time and I can still easily shut them off during commercials. I can tune them in with ease and the sound quality for me is great. That's all I use them for and I love them. I highly recommend them for the hard of hearing set for TV watching.
As the charge begins to diminish, you do have difficulty with sound and static so we have tried to just routinely pop them on the charger. Our son's bedroom is next to our bedroom so television watching always disturbed him. We purchased two of these headphones and so far they are working great. We don't use them any where else in the house so I can't speak to working distance but for tv viewing from bed, they work great - better sound than the television without headphones. Just wish they weren't so pricey.
