Date: 2008-09-21 Going back to a wired headphone.... Pros: - Ability to be mobile and free without the hassle of tangling cords. This was my main reason for the purchase. - Dirt-cheap price (on Amazon). - Good sound quality as mentioned by others. - Nice, snug fit. Cons: - Foam ear pads; I CANNOT stand foams against my ears. Uncomfortable, warm, and irritating. I'm surprised that not a single person has mentioned about this. - I bought these for my PC use, not for TV. Lots of static noises heard when trying to re-use the headphone after about 10-15 min of idle time. Solution? Unplug and plug back in the connector to the PC's sound card port. After doing this for about 10 times, I realized that I'd rather go back to my old headphone. - Falls off when bending over. If you can run a marathon wearing this, good on you. Comfortable and snug enough to stay on your head if you stay sitting down or lying down, but not light enough that it won't fall off your head. Someone mentioned baseball cap. If you absolutely must go outside to dig trenches while listening to your favorite MP3s wearing this thing on a hot, muggy afternoon, more power to you. I tried this for 2 days and decided I'll go back to my old Sony (wired) headphone. This is a good product at a very low price for what it does: enabling you to be mobile withing certain ranges. But if you are like me, stick with old-school headphones. And take them off if you have to move around or go outside to dig holes to hide your latest treasure. Date: 2008-09-21 Love Them I have only used the headphones a few times (I got them so I could listen to the television while my wife was sleeping) and the sound was clear and static free. The headphones are light and comfortable and I can roam throughout the house and get clear reception. Date: 2008-09-19 Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle 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. Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle Date: 2008-09-18 Watch TV While Your Wife Reads! Wireless Headphones 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. Date: 2008-09-16 Second Sennheiser product I've owned 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.
