Sennheiser RS120 II On-Ear Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle

I own a pair of Sennheiser 170's and they are really excellent headphones but @ over $200 I didn't want to spend as much since major use of these 120's was my bedroom TV. PS, if you're buying a tv these days, be careful to check the back before buying. Most decent size LCDs/plasma's don't have headphone jacks, many do not have RCA audio outputs, and some cheap models don't even have optical outputs. I'm not sure how optical to RCA converters worked, so, I wanted one with RCA audio out in addition to optical, and second choice would be headphone jack. In my humble opinion, RCA-output is the best because there is constant output level and you then control the TV speakers with the mute button on your remote. If you are limited to a headphone jack, the speakers usually are cut out when the phones are plugged in making it necessary to be plugging and unplugging whenever you use the phones and then want to go back to the speakers. Back to the 120's. First of all - sound quality is excellent, tho I don't use them primarily for music, I'd have no hesitation to do so. Unlike the 170 and 180's they don't have features like base boost nor do they have the surround sound simulation that the 170/180's have. PS: this feature on the 170's is really cool and I love using them on my family room tv for action movies. But, back to the 120's: even without these features, the sound is great. Next, reception: unbelievable. I've been all over my house to test them and they work great, even on different floors. Next: comfort. I actually really like the "on the ear" fit for my purposes. Soft pads, no irritation, but haven't yet worn for hours. I can say that, since I have both, there is one advantage of these compared with "over the ear" fit that is a feature of the 170's. With over the ear, if your head is resting on a cushion/pillow such that the cushion/pillow pushes on the earpiece, it causes the earpiece to put pressure on the back of your ear and actually can cause irritation. It's my one complaint (albeit minor) about my 170's. The one problem wiht the "on ear" fit of the 120's is that it is not "secure" - i.e, because they fit lightly and comfortably, if you want to wear them while you're say doing a project that requires bending over, they'll tend to slip off your head/ears. If you're sitting, at your computer, lying down for a nap, no problem. But if you''re going to be active with them - like working in the garage or cleaning the house while wearing them, might consider the more secure fit of over the ear. Since they're not over the ear, they're not as noise isolating, but that can be an advantage if you want to know what's going on around you - like hearing your wife calling you or the doorbell, etc. Finally, as for some of the criticisms of others that I've seen posted on these reviews, here's my take: 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!

4-24-13 I now have 3 of these headsets and love them! Got my last one in January 2013. If your earphones don't work properly SWITCH radios!!! I have two rather expensive radios of the same brand. When I got my second headset (my first is on my TV) I connected it to one of my radios and it would not work properly. I tried everything and nothing worked. The headset would work for about 5 minutes and then cut out and nothing I could do would get it working again. I was about ready to send this headset back but decided I would try it on my other radio (remember, same brand). It worked GREAT and I have not had a problem with it since (it has been several months since I switched radios). I use the headset when I am out in the yard or doing housework going from room to room. So, before you think the headset is defective, try it on another radio and you might find that the headset works fine. That the problem was that the radio jack on the first radio just did not properly accept the headset connection. Also, remember that the headset is designed to turn itself off if there is no radio sound for a period of time in order to save batteries. ----------prior review-------- I have tried several different brands of headphones and these are by far the best. In fact, when I got mine I connected them to receive my radio and was so impressed that immediately ordered a second set so I could connect them to my television. The headphones are so light that I put them on and just leave them on as I work inside and outside the house. The sound is excellent (I listen to talk radio), very smooth - not irritating as with some headphones. I wanted two sets so when I switched from listening to a tv program to a radio program, I do not have to reconnect them. It takes about 5 minutes to connect them. Let the headphones charge for 24 hours and then enjoy!!! When you put the earphones back on the charging stand they immediately make the connection and start charging. There is no fumbling around with trying to get them to connect to the charging stand as when you place the headset on the stand it automatically slips onto the connection. Do not let the lights on the charging stand fake you out...they seem to light up when they want to. When you put the headset on the stand the red light will come on. The green light seems to do whatever it wants but it works. When you first connect the charging stand to the electricity the green light may or may not come on but it is ready to charge the headset. Want to thank the person whose recommendation said he could do his neighbors yard across the street and hear his program as I wanted a set that would let me do my yard work and I have a big yard. I can even walk around my block and hear my program through the headset all the way. Can''t recommend highly enough!!!!

Fatte bene. Range alquanto interessante. Qualità del suono, stereo al punto giusto. Davvero un bel modo di ascoltare la musica. Una volta collegato l'apparato all'uscita cuffie del televisore o stereo, fa tutto da solo. Sconsiglio volumi di radio o tv molto bassi, il sistema si spegne. Il sistema di ricarica è assolutamente funzionale alla cuffia. A+++

Received this product from Aamzon with in a day shipping at 5.9k, as usual great service & great price from Amazon, same product is selling at 6.9 K on Flipkart. The RS120 is a really great headphone, with loud & clear sound quality with some rock solid bass.The background detailing sound which one gets with this headphones is amazing. I have a Yamaha YHT 299 HT but this headphone really gives you great punch. I bought it basically to watch movies, also very very handy at night without disturbing others in the house. It was a breeze to setup this device with the base unit. There is a liitle apprehension in some reviews regarding some hissing sound in the b/g, ya it is there, but for a brief moment, say for a few seconds or a minute & disappears on it's own, nothing annoying or loud & much to worry about. Also some ppl have apprehension about the not so smug fit over the ears, but for me they were great. I watched a few movies but they never dropped or hurt for once. I had an old sennheiser headphones with cord & they fit very tightly, now i realize how much they hurt after an hours or so, but the RS120 are really great on the ears. I would highly recommend this product for watching movies.

Purchased these as a gift for my mum. She loves them. I find this hilarious but she said that one of the things she really loves is that she can go to the toilet during the news and still hear what they are saying!!!!

Relación calidad precio inmejorable. Más de 2 años de uso diario y la batería sigue aguantando un montón. No tiene ninguna interferencia y se escucha bien.

For the price, I think these are great headphones. Initially, they weren't the most comfortable, but after a day or so they conformed to my head and I got used to them, and now they fit fine. The sound quality is very good, and the range is exceptional. I have been using 2.4GHz USB headphones for years, and now that I've tried RF headphones, I think I'm stuck on them from now on. A few things to note: The base will not broadcast the signal until there is something for it to broadcast, so you need to connect it to your output device (TV, PC, whatever) before trying to use them, and make sure something is playing. These headphones need to be tuned to the base with the tuning dial on the right headphone. The headphones do not connect unless there is sound being input to the base, so if you're using them with a PC (as I am), if you pause your video, game, or music, after a minute or two, it will lose signal and produce static. What I recommend is turning off the headphones when you pause the sound so as to avoid the problem. Battery life is ridiculously long, and since it charges on the base, you can wear these all of your waking time and charge them overnight, and they will never die. I grabbed these at $10 off ($69.95) on Black Friday, and I'm glad I did!
