RF Wireless Headphones
The RS 120 RF (Radio Frequency) Wireless Headphone lets you enjoy sound without the cumbersome cables associated with traditional headphones. This system features a lightweight on-ear headphone that receives sound from a transmitter base when connected to an analog output of any audio source (like a TV, sound system or computer). The sound quality is classic Sennheiser; detailed and balanced with good clarity and bass response. These lightweight headphones, featuring a padded headband for comfort are ideal for long listening or TV watching sessions.
RS 120 RF Wireless Headphones offer exceptional performance and value. They draw on decades of Sennheiser engineering expertise to ensure premium sound quality, reliability and durability.
This wireless headphone system comes with an easy to use recharging system. The headphones are powered with NiMH batteries (included). Once installed in the headphone ear cups, the batteries are recharged by simply placing the headphones on the transmitter base. The transmitter also features an automatic on/off circuit.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1. Hiss: non existent. none. I'm using these with RCA outputs on my tv that have constant output and in this mode 0 hiss at any volume even with total silence on the source. If you're using headphone jack output, probably should have the component volume up enough (normal listening level) so you don't have to crank the phones - but I've pushed the volume on these during silence on screen without any hiss!!
2. Unable to charge with earpieces extended. Huh? Maybe they've changed the design of base unit, but this is simply NOT true. I've extended them all the way and set on the base to charge. No problemo.
3. Volume control on same side as tuning wheel. Please.
4. Auto on/off. So far no problem while watching TV. I suppose if you're pausing dvd's frequently, this could be a minor annoyance, but if you're wearing wireless headphones the need to pause should be minimal, since you can keep listening while you grab a beer in the kitchen or take care of business in the bathroom! Here's the bottom line on this: I TURNED THE TV OFF AND CLOCKED THE TIME-TO-AUTO-SHUTOFF: 3 minutes exactly. So.. how can this be a problem listening to music: suggest if this a problem you are using a headphone jack and the component volume is set incredibly low, turn it up a bit! Oh, yeah, when the base is off, then turn the tv on, the time between tv volume "on" and base unit auto on is virtually instantaneous. Again if, not getting this performance, suspect it is headphone jack and component volume problem.
Overall: this is a great set of wireless headphones at a reasonable price (less than $100 on amazon) and the problems noted by others have either been engineered out of the product over the years (some of the negative reviews are years old), or the folks with problems haven't set them up correctly (using headphone jack with component volume turned too low). For best results, try the rca audio outputs and if you're going to buy a new tv, look for and get a tv that has this feature!
Our bedroom TV is wall mounted (using this VideoSecu Low Profile TV Wall Mount ) and I have all the cables routed inside the wall including the audio cable that connects to the headphone base. The base itself is located in the room next to our bedroom (my office). Since the headphones use RF (instead of IR) the signal goes right through the wall. RF interference has not been a problem either (the house is saturated with wireless signals and the base is located in a room with two or three computers that are running all the time).
Range is good. I haven't tested the limit of the range, but the headphones work everywhere in the house (meaning we can walk downstairs to the kitchen while still listening to the TV).
Setup was very simple. Plug the base in, connect the audio cable to the TV. Charge the headphones. Turn them on. Tune them and you have audio.
Things the be aware of:
1. The base has a 3.5mm (standard mini headphone size) stereo input jack and comes with an stereo RCA-to-3.5mm converter and a fairly long stereo RCA cable (long enough for my needs by far). Your TV needs to have analog audio outputs. The base does NOT have digital audio inputs. The outputs on your TV will be fixed level, or variable-level (or user selectable). Our Vizio TV has selectable outputs and I selected fixed-level. This means that the headphones are used to control the volume instead of the TV remote. For us, this works well as we can each independently adjust the volume without affecting the other listener. (The downside? The mute button on the TV remote does nothing).
2. I have two headphones, but the charging station can only charge one at a time. This isn't a problem. You just need to be aware that you can only fit one at a time on the charger and manage your charging so you don't end up with a dead battery when you need them.
3. I'm still on my first charge cycle and we've used the headphones for at least 5 hours over the last two weeks. So far no sign of running them out.
4. The headphones use standard AAA NiMH batteries (provided). I'm considering buying a few more just so I have a few charged ready-to-go batteries around in case I do ever forget to charge the headphones (and our baby monitor uses the same).
5. I did not mount my base on the wall (it just sits on my desk), but it does have a single keyhole mount slot. I don't think it would look very good stuck on the wall, but if needed, it'll work.
6. This is the only drawback I've found so far, but at this price point I didn't really consider this a negative: The headphones are not the type that go over your ears. The lay flat on the ear. There is no surround. Some people might find this uncomfortable during a long listening session. When I first put them on, my initial reaction was: "these are not going to be comfortable". But after using them for a while now, they really are not too bad. The comfort isn't great, but not bad either. The other trait with the lack of a surround is that they do not isolate sound. You can hear other noises in the room (good for us, we can here the baby monitor), but you can also hear the other person's headphones if they are listening at a loud level (and your trying to read a book, or sleep). Again, only a problem if the other person is cranking it up. This hasn't been a problem for us. I've never heard my wife's headphones while I read or sleep.
So I give these 5 stars because they met my expectations in every way. I was not expecting high-end audio, but I was expecting easy setup and decent sound quality for a reasonable price. And that's what I got.

Más de 2 años de uso diario y la batería sigue aguantando un montón.
No tiene ninguna interferencia y se escucha bien.
They do a terrific job with no interference noise and a clear as a bell signal. I hooked them up to the RCA outputs on our Toshiba LCD with a couple of simple RCA splitters from Monoprice thru Amazon and have a set of 5.1 Computer speakers hooked up on the other outputs of the splitters.
The result is that volume can be independently be controlled from the TV remote, the speaker controls and the headphone controls so once everything is properly adjusted everyone is happy.
The AAA NiMH batteries are a nice touch as well. We've run them for 4 hours without them pooping out and they will be easily replaceable in the long run when they finally no longer hold a full charge.
They are reasonably comfortable to wear and though your ears will tend to get hot after a bit it's really no worse than any other set of full headphones I've ever tried. Sound quality is excellent and clear for TV viewing as well as full length concert videos on Youtube.
All in all no complaints and highly recommended. I almost bought the RS 126 model but after getting this I see no real reason for spending an extra $50 for what are essentially the same headphones doing the same job.
