 The best wireless headphones I've ever used October 27, 2005
27 out of 28 found this review helpful
I've owned a couple of different types of wireless headphones and listened to a couple of other brands owned by other people. Every other one I have ever tried has had some static noise, especially when you move around the room with them. I had returned a pair of the infrared headphones after being completely disgusted with the high-pitched noise generated by the computer, etc... I had pretty much given up on wireless, that is until now. These are utterly quiet and the sound quality is outstanding. I am completely satisfied with them. I recommend them without any hesitation or reservations. I won't even look at another brand now.
For the price, so much better than the others January 14, 2005

The drawbacks are that you have to tune the rf by hand and the batteries aren't rechargable. These amenities would be nice, but it just leads to more stuff that can go wrong. I bought the Sony wireless headphones before these and they would break up whenever I went into the other room and there were certain audio frequencies they couldn't handle. The Sennheiser not only have a better sound quality, but I can leave the house without them breaking up. These can't be beat for the price and are a lot better than more expensive models (Sony, RCA).

A sound engineer's perspective...
Great Sennheiser quality - strikingly similar to some of their wired models (HD202, ect). What I expected. People say don't even bother with other brands. For the great prices Sennheiser offers, I know I don't.
Works in a large house or large condo. Static (as with all wireless headphones) occurs under 4 feet. Some people don't understand that this is natural. I've been probably 50' to 100' away from the base and have had no dropouts. Static occurs over 20' but is sparse and only in certain 'spots' - usally about two square feet. The solution - avoid those 'spots' or mess with the tuning knob.
PROS:
Fairly flat frequency response - VERY nice mids and highs
Close in quality to many mid-range wired models
Almost flawless reception when in the same room
Comfortable, open-aire design - not too tight, not too loose
CONS:
Big (but so are all wireless phones)
Silver accent color (makes them look even bigger)
No rechargeable batteries
May slip off of smaller heads when bending over (mine is big though)
Lacks a bit of bass because of the open-aire design (makes it perfect for TV but leaves a tad to be desired for music)
IMPORTANT:
Your TV has RCA OUTputs
Your volume has to be UP on the TV a little for these to work - how to circumvent this? Run your cable through a VCR and take the base station out of the RCA outputs of your VCR - now you can mute the TV, but your phones will still work through your VCR volume.
The verdict? Hard to beat for the price. Wireless headphones are not perfect, but these are about as good as you can get. Want rechargeables? Upgrade to the Sennheiser RS-120s - the same electronics, but you pay $30 more for rechargeables. Want a closed-aire design? Upgrade to the RS 140s. Want something that is open-aire and rechargeable but a bit more 'stylish' - ie. all black and less 'grandpa grey' - get the HS 130s.
I understand that the 130s and 140s have 'automatic' tuning. I would think however this could be a blessing and also a curse. Also, for those who have hearing loss in one ear - the 140s have adjustable left/right balance.
Old people hate these at first because it's essentially admitting that they have hearing loss, but give them 2 days and they LOVE them.

So many wireless headphones on the market get bad reviews I was reluctant to try these entry level headphones. Guess what, it took a minute to figure out how to set the frequency at the base station and then fine tune the signal using the dial on the headphones. They sound great, no hum, comfortable, no wires! I prefer over-the-ear headphones because foam pressing against your ears can get tiresome, but these feel pretty darn nice. While these headphones don't use rechargeable batteries it still would have been convenient to build a cradle onto the base station, you have to find a place to lay the headphones when not in use. This is probably the one design flaw. Also, you have to turn off the headphones when you set them down for even a short time or a tremendous hum comes out of the phones due to lost signal.
