Summary: great for listening to the TV
Review: I use these for almost a year now and I am very happy with them. I use it mostly for listening to the TV when my kid is sleeping around and for this purpose it is just great. Occasionally I get a little static when I move around but since it happens rather rarely it doesn't bother me that much. One of the features that I really like is having the volume control in the headphones. Also they are convinient to wear on my head - I rememebr I tried several other in the store before I bought and the others didn't have such a good fit for me.

Summary: Thanks to the reviews here, I made a great purchase
Review: I was in the market for wireless headphones since I recently moved into a condo. I was all set to buy an inexpensive set of wireless Jensen headphones at a local CompUSA for $.... Well the reviews on Amazon were pretty unanimous, don't waste your money, and spend a little more to get either the Advent or the Sennheiser RF wireless headphones. I liked the style of the Sennheiser built in charger better and the reviews were a tad better. So I followed the reviews here and I am totally satisfied.

There are multiple jacks so I've hooked them into my Motorola Digital Cable box RCA jacks and I am thrilled with the quality. I can move from room to room with no interference whatsover. Someone here said they had trouble adjusting the frequency, I found it to be a breeze. I bought an extra battery since it can charge a spare. This is a five star unit if you are looking for good TV quality sound. It's not studio, but you aren't paying for studio quality. This is a great buy. And Amazon treated my order VERY professionally. Emailed me on the ship date, and gave me a UPS tracking number. I got it in 4 business days. I'm glad I looked here first. Thanks everybody!

Summary: Unit worked fine - for 15 minutes
Review: I was very happy with this unit - for about 15 minutes. I heard a loud pop and all I got was static. All the indicator lights in the base station went out. 24 hours later the unit worked fine again - for about 3 hours. Then a loud pop and the base station indicator lights went out again. Now the unit is completely dead with nothing but static on the headset. I sent Amazon an e-mail, and they are sending me a replacement with free shipping (don't you just love Amazon!.) They say if electronics are going to fail, it usually happens in the first 24 hours. Hope the next set works longer than this one!

Summary: It's time to cut the cord - these are worth the $$$.
Review: I work around ridiculously loud coworkers, so I always listen to headphones at work. Problem was, I hated being tethered to my computer.After reading reviews on amazon.com, bestbuy.com, and circuitcity.com, I decided to try the Sennheisers. They were definitely the best choice of quality and value.

I admit I've only had them for a day, but they sound as good as my wired headphones and were a breeze to begin using. They also help tune out everyone else (bonus!). I don't know what was going on with the few bad reviews I read - operator error maybe? I was listening to music within 2 minutes (literally) of plugging into my PC. The headphones are not heavy and they are nicely padded - really comfy to use.

As of right now, I highly recommend these headphones. The only reason I gave them four stars instead of five is because of my limited time having them and the battery is limited to four hours of continous listening. I'm planning to buy an additional battery pack since it can charge while I'm using the headphones (also available on Amazon) and that way I can listen all 8 hours while at work.

If you're still skeptical, the vendor who sends the product through Amazon has a return policy of 30 days (just double check this) so they're definitely worth trying.

It's time to cut the cord - wireless is the way to go.

Summary: I live for wireless
Review: If you're going for audiophile quality sound, then these probably aren't for you. If you want a convenient wireless headphone system to watch TV or casually listen to music while moving about the house, then these are great. The sound quality is comparable to most inexpensive corded headphones and these sound better than other wireless headphones I've tried. They're light and comfortable and you just stick them back into the base to recharge. Supposedly the batteries last 4 hours per charge, but I've never tested that. The base features a slot to charge an additional battery (that can be purchased ...) and you can swap batteries quite easily.

This model has 3 frequencies that you can choose from by pressing a button on the base. If you have two of these, then you can use them both by leaving the bases on different frequencies. The headsets can then be tuned to either frequency (so both headsets can be tuned to listen to the same base signal). Unlike a cordless phone, where the handset switches frequency channels simultaneouly with the base station, this headset requires you to tune the headset to the frequency of the base station. This isn't hard at all, but this might explain why that other reviewer couldn't get a signal out of this (so read the manual). Along with the tuning dial, the headset also has a volume dial built-in.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sound quality good, tuning can be a headache
Review: Moving from one room to another requires you to fiddle with the tuning. The sound quality is quite good, with a good low frequency response.
I was afraid that I would snap the headband while adjusting it.(though it did not!)
I am not sure if this is an advantage or a disadvantage:
I could catch my neighbour call his doctor on his 900 MHz cordless phone !! I was wondering if my music would blare out of his cordless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Music at Work!!!
Review: Okay....I've already burned through one set of wireless headphones at work, and searched through all the reviews here and other places before settling on the Sennheiser RS40 as the best combination of price and reputation. So far, they've been great! The sound is just fine given my admittedly not-picky ear, and lots o' interruptions by coworkers. There are two things I really appreciate about the RS40. One is the range -- even though I work in a building largely constructed of stone and steel, I can wander into the bathroom and down halls several hundred feet away, and still pick up the Reds game! The other really cool thing is that I don't have to replace batteries every 2 hours. The charge feature is wonderful!
