Nice and right
Purchased for my elderly mom so she could watch TV without the neighbors 10 blocks away hearing her blasting TV. It worked great. Tuning was easy, and to too heavy to wear.
Sennheiser wireless headphones
I was so pleased with the first one of this item, that I almost immediately bought another. It is very pleasant to be able to hear TV and movies without disturbing everyone else in the house. My only complaint is the off/on switch; it is hard to move on each one I bought.
Very Pleased
I bought these headphones for my father, who is in a nursing home and is functionally blind. He loves to listen to NPR and PRN and also books-on-tape. I needed a headphone that was wireless, with good sound quality, good range and a very easy charging dock. For all of these qualities the headphones delivered without disappointment! With Dad’s impaired vision and some slight dementia, he is still able to get the headphones on and off without incident, and the way the charging is accomplished through the wire hoop that acts as a stand/holder for the headphones was pure genius on the part of Sennheiser!
The range is good enough that he can not only listen anywhere in his room, but even as he roams the halls and the dining room! There are controls right on each headphone earpad , one for on/off and the other for volume control, which Dad has a little trouble with, but I am sure were designed to be discrete for the average user. It took a little training to get Dad to be able to find and use those switches.
Dad gets daily use out of these headphones and they have brought much enjoyment to his life.
Our only concerns were about accommodating his needs. The switches on the headphones are a little difficult for older, stiffer fingers, and the two LEDs on the Base unit are too small for him to see easily. But this was never designed to be a tool for the visually impaired so it’s hard to really fault there.
The sound quality surprised me, and I may well buy another pair for home use for myself!
Don’t Nod
Got this headset for my wife so she could be more mobile & still listen to the TV while our baby is sleeping. Works great, she loves them but I see a few flaws. (1) they slide off your head really easy if you learn forward (2) the wireless signal control is located right next to the volume control which means almost every time i’ve gone to change the volume i end up changing the wireless signal control, which is annoying. (3) there are only 3 radio stations on the signal mount/emitter, why does the headset need a dial for only 3 station options?
Otherwise, besides those 3 things its been a good purchase.
too loose; fall off head
Generally happy with these, but they slip off when I bend over (and I have a very big head). The foam is flat where it intersects the ear, so there is no ridge to go around the ears and keep them in place. I will probably come up with a home-made fix for this, but it is annoying. The sound is decent for the price. Really good sounding headphones cost more, even for wired.
Great Headphones For Quiet Work Environment!
Had the headphones for about a month now and have really enjoyed using them in our quiet work environment. Range is really incredible. As long as I don’t mind looking like a dork walking around the office!! Only complaint I have is the the earpads. I really wish they were the “over the ear” (earcup?) style, rather than just flat against the ear. I’d feel better about increasing the volume a little bit. Recharging and controls are really easy and I have had no problem using them for nine hours straight and not needing a recharge.
Great headphones
This is the second set I purchased for my husband. Bought the first set for Xmas and they worked great, now bought a 2nd set for other TV. They’re a lifesaver!!!
Hard to mantain in my head
The sound of the equipment is excellent. Controls are not easy , too small. If I bow the headphone will not hold in place.

Great purchase
Has a range of about 600 feet as long as there is no building between you and the output.
wireless headphones
Great Phones, what can I say . Crystal clear and one can leave the room without compromising anything, My House is 2 story 4000 sq feet, Done, hear it any where, Wont be disappointmented. I came back and re-rated it after having used it for some time. I just had to give it a better rating. Great price. I was Bar-b-cuing and was able to go outside and not miss a step in the movie.
Excellent product
I’ve purchased many wireless headsets over the years and have yet to find one that actually works. Until now. I just moved into a new home and the layout prohibits me from having a wired headphone going to the media center so I researched and decided on this one.
I don’t want to rehash all the positive reviews because I agree with them all. I set it up this morning and was able to go all through my house and out to the furthest point in my back yard (approx 150 feet or so) with great quality.
Very happy with these.
Hated these immediately
I hated these as soon as I put them on. They don’t fit well and don’t stay in place. Try making dinner with these on — you know, bending down to get pots and pans out of the lower cupboards and such… These things fly right off. And the ear fatigue is TERRIBLE!! My ears STILL hurt. Look at the profile of the ear pieces. They’re completely flat — big flat panels pressed against your ears. Really horribly uncomfortable. No idea how these things got more than 3 stars… I guess people just use them sitting down for short periods of time. They still don’t feel good, even for short term listening. (Otherwise they’re fine… the radio works well and they charge and everything.) But, I’m returning mine. WAY too uncomfortable.
Amazing sound quality but other features need improvement
Everything I read about these headphones is accurate and true. They are amazing.
The sound quality is incredible and far surpasses that of my old headphones. The signal distance is super long. I can’t believe how far I can go and still hear it crystal clear.
My dad has a set and I have a set, and we each use a different channel. Then if he wants to watch something with me he just tunes his headset to my channel and boom, we are both listening to my tv. It’s awesome.
I do not like the positioning of the tuning dial… I would rather it NOT be on the same side as the volume dial (so there is less of a chance of bumping the tuning dial when adjusting the volume).
The headset is a reasonable weight considering the size and that it contains batteries.
Overall a great product and worth the price. It has completely changed my tv and gaming experience.
Great wireless headset
After TONS of researching, I purchased this wireless headset for listening to the TV in another room (while cooking, cleaning, etc) while not having to blast the volume. I’ve been very happy with the unit for a year now. The range is great and sound quality (for a wireless) is very good. Battery life has never been a problem.
Minor problems: After wearing it for an hour or two, it can get uncomfortable. Also, when my house phone rings, there is a loud static sound coming from the earphones during each “ring”. Every once in a while, there will be a constant stream of static – try turning toggling the ON/OFF switch on the earphones or pull the jack out & reinsert into your TV/receiver/stereo.
TIP: when placing on the recharging cradle (which I actually keep behind the TV, out of sight) make sure both sides of the earphones are extended to the same length. The charging light will not go on unless both sides are equally balanced.
A GOOD BUY
I am moderately hard of hearing and would have to have the TV sound set where it would be too loud for normal
hearing people. This thing takes care of that problem extreemly well. It is also good for when my wife goes to
the bed room and I stay up in the family room to watch TV a while. I can have the TV’s volume turned all the way
down and still get whatever volume I want from the headphones..
The only con I see is that once in a while you get a short burst of static noise. But it is not enough to over ride
all that is good about it.
Consider something else…
You might want to consider something else. I bought this in Oct 2008. By mid 2009 it was beginning to fail: static heard once in a while, one side or the other would stop working then come back, recharging took longer & length of use decreased as time progressed. Then in the spring of 2010 it died altogether. The head piece was comfortable, but loose fitting. The sound quality was ok but I think my Inke’d ear buds to my mp3 player sound better. The cordless convenience was wonderful, but I really expected these to last MUCH longer than they did. I don’t think it’s worth the $69.89 price. Over all I’m not happy with the quality or durability the Sennheiser brand lead me to expect, especially for this price range. I recommend you buy something else or cough up for the replacement warranty cause I think you’ll need it.
Disappointing
I bought these for my husband. Happy first father’s day, I bought you a pair of crappy headphones. He’s using them with his computer so as not to get distracted when working at home. Firstly, they’re kind of bulky. The bar over the head is so oddly shaped, but he does have a small head. Then we plugged them in, it was easy to get going, but everyone in the room can hear what’s going through the headphones. Sound quality was good but definitely not discreet or contained. The padding on the ears are flat rather than cupping around the ears, which relate to the lack of containing sound but also lends to being uncomfortable. We gave up pretty early in so can’t comment to the charging, batteries, etc.
Perfect Solution
These headphones solved a major problem in our household. One person bothered by loud noise and the other person hard of hearing. With the headphones, one person can enjoy TV or music at their desired volume and the other can read with the sound on mute or listen in at their desired volume.
We previously purchased this same headphone for a friend who resides in an assisted living facility. He enjoys being able to listen to his TV or music without worrying about bothering the other residents.
Very noisy
I bought this headphones couple of years ago. Over the last year, when I raise or lower the volume, I can hear very bad noise or statics over the headphones. By touching the knobs, the statics overpower the music. I had to take the headphone apart at one time to clean the electronics, that was good for couple of months, now it’s worse. I might end buying the RS 140 now, since not too many companies make good quality wireless headphones, I still have hopes in sennheiser, and I’m willing to give them another chance.
Not a good fit
The overall iem is good. The fit is a little loose and the sound is scratchy sometimes.
