Static blast is painful
I like these headphones except for one thing. If I am using them while watching you tube music videos and I come to the end of a video and go searching for the next video to watch if there is too long a lapse before starting the next video I get a blast of static in my ears. Its so bad it is very startling and for the first couple of times I ripped the phones off my head in reaction. It doesn't make me feel relaxed about the prospect of wearing them.

Do you like loud static blasting in your ears after a short period of silence? Buy these headphones!
Apparently the FCC requires that the radio transmitter shut down after a short period of inactivity. In this case after about 2 mins of silence (say, you pause, or there's just a quiet patch in what you're doing) ... BAM! The transmitter shuts off, and the headphones hammer your ears with loud static that's all the more jarring after the silence.
There's no excuse for this. Simple carrier detection would allow them to detect the transmitter shutdown and go silent instead. It's horrible usability.
For bonus stupid, the channel selection on...Read more
the headphones is a dial that's right beside the volume and easily bumped. Why they didn't use a 3-position switch like the base station is beyond me. You'll find that the headphones suddenly go quiet, or slightly static-y, or you lose stereo ... time to play with the knob again. Their quality is tolerable and battery life is OK, which is the only reason they aren't 1*. If you get given them for free they're worth having but they sure aren't worth the asking price. Oh, and they might be "Wireless" but the base station isn't USB-powered and there's no USB-powered alternative without the charging rail. So it's pretty useless for a laptop.Similar opinion?

Useless if wanting to watch a DVD
Purchased a new 120 ll set and works great when just watching TV channels ONLY, when I switch to the DVD player to watch a movie they don't work. They stay on but the sound doesn't transfer through change back to antenna and sounds straight back tried multiple different scenario's re-tuning ect ect and cannot get to play movies! Very frustrating.

Helps me hear the TV without it being too loud
I brought these headphones to plug into the TV, so that I could hear the TV better and my lovely wife didn't have to put up with the volume being too loud. They are wireless and work very well. They sometimes need re-tuning, but that is easily done. Couple of small issues, the on/off label has worn off very quickly making it hard to remember which is which. This is an issue as if I leave them on the bed and they don't have a signal, they make a hissing noise that is disturbing to others in the room with normal hearing. Also I needed to get a analogue to digital sound converter to allow the headphones to work with my TV. Generally very happy, if you don't mind sitting watching TV with headphones on with others.

Fantastic sound quality
I haven't had these for long, but I have watched a few amazing battle scenes in movies whilst wearing these. They allow you to hear things that you wouldn't normally when just listening to the TV speakers. They do a great surround sound effect but allow you to also hear your surroundings too. I love the charging hanger. It works very well.

excellent quality!
The sound from these is phenomenal - really great headphones! The price I paid for these was very reasonable, when trying in store I was expecting they would cost alot more, I was pleasantly surprised when I was actually told. I am super happy with these, great for plugging into my laptop and watching movies.

Just like being at the cinema
Being somewhat hard of hearing i purchased this product so that my family didnt constantly tell me to turn my tv or music down. Straight out of the box they were easy to set up and work a treat. It is amazing what i have been missing. Watching a movie is now a cinematic experience.
Comfortable to wear and contrary to other reviews i dont find them trying to fall off if leaning forward.
I love this product !!

One of the best product
I purchase this for my husband because his hearing power is poor. He don't hear clearly. So i want him hear hear properly. We used a lot of different sets of headphones but no one is close to this one. It's lot easier to use. The tuning and quality of sound is great. Love this product.

very useful
i bought these headphones for my mother-in-law who is deaf & visiting us for 10 weeks.
we couldn't stand having the volume up so loud and she couldn't hear if we had it as normal.
now we can all view the TV at the same time with independent sound control.
my mother-in-law loves them so much as she can hear sounds that don't appear to be there on the normal TV. she's going to take them home to the UK and set them up on her own tv

Great headphones
I was given a set of these for a present. Have always loved the brand and they are great headphone.
Self charging when back on the stand.
Only slight downfall is they are not closed sound meaning if you have something loud playing everyone else around can hear it also.

Sennheiser RS 120 11
First the price,they have more than halved in price ( have seen sold for $240-$290 ),due to the newer Bluetooth TV out there,but if you can't here the tv without it being really loud ( and everyone screaming at you to turn it down ) or you want to watch the tv when people are in bed, well buy a pair of these around $120 Australia dollars they are very handy well made wireless headphones. Connect left and right stero jack/ RCA ( red and black) to back of your tv,turn on tv ( they shut down / no light when tv is off) and sit back, crank it up and enjoy.
I told my bother in law to buy them and he loves them.

Going wireless is so liberating!
These wireless headphones will allow you to connect with your devices and listen to your music clearly even when you go downstairs to the kitchen in your double-brick home. They are fairly well designed to fit comfortably with an adjustable headband, although the foam padding for the ears are pretty ordinary.

Decent earphones but very loose around head
Previous model only lasted 3 years. hoping this one will fare better. does the job in allowing us to watch tv without disturbing others. battery life is reasonable. does not require Bluetooth functionality and so useful to the have a 'home base' that it is linked to. Downside is the fit - does not fit snugly around heads (which you want for a surround sound experience) - have tried this on several people now and unless you have a giant head circumference, it will want to slip off.

100% Recommended!!
Honestly, I'm mind blown by this amazing product! I would always use the ordinary earphones to listen to music and play games and such until it recently broke. This made me resort to browsing for a good long lasting pair of headphones instead of cheap low quality ones. Definitely not a mistake choosing this product. Its sound quality is excellent and you can tell it would last long.

Great for removing the family from hearing problems
I'm partially deaf and six years ago my daughter and husband got these as a Christmas present for me.
Four years ago I had my hearing tested and found it was really bad, of course I knew it had deteriorated but didn't realise how much. I purchased two identical hearing aids for the price of several new suites. Now this raised yet another hearing problem, I can hear very well the TV when alone, but before I could just about manage if people entered the room and started talking quietly, providing that they were further away from the TV. However,...Read more
