Rating: Summary: Feedback from current purchase Review: Thanks to the previous poster from Italy that gave suggestions for these headphones. I followed them to the letter, no hiss. I've charged these right up and let them run down, and get about 3 1/2 hours to four for each battery. After reading the previous postings, these headphones are so much better than I expected, they are light and extremely comfortable. (I do realize some of the wired are better), however the freedom of moving is fantastic and I wouldn't trade! There is a battery charger, L151-120 which will charge two Sennheiser BA151 batteries. Amazon does not carry this item, however it is available....somewhere...still searching.
Rating: Summary: The first foot steps for cordless headphones Review: The first generation of Sennheiser Wireless headphones was just about OK if you did ot leave your livingroom and faced the transmitter...... The RS 40 is deffinitelly better, however if you leave the room where the transmitter is placed and dare to go to the garden or one floor up the noise becomes unbearable. Wait for the 2.4 gigahertz version - The RS40 is not worth it. The cheapest corded headphones sound better.

Rating: Summary: Buyer beware... Review: These are a waste of you're time. These headphones are by far the worst product that I've had the misfortune of procuring. They cut out during the first few minutes of operation, then stopped working completely. Nice. Without equal, the worst product i've ever purchased from Sennheiser. Most like it will be the last.
Rating: Summary: Look No Further Review: These are the wireless headphones to buy. If you buy something else you will be sorry. I've tried them all. I orginally bought the lower Sennheiser model I think, the RS-65. They worked alright, with a little noise, but the earcup broke and dangled after six months or so. Then I went on a wireless phone Odyssey and tried every kind out there except the Sennheisers and it was all static. I even tried the only 2.4 Ghz phones out there and there's a reason they're the only one. (The sound is fine as long as you're in the same room and don't run the microwave ouch!) So buy this one and be very careful with the earcups. Mine haven't broken again so far, I think the construction is possibly a little better than the cheaper model. But if they break after a year, at least you'll have had a year of enjoyment instead of a year of aggravation!
Rating: Summary: solid product Review: This is my first pair of cordless headphones, and for regular listening I have been used to AKG studio monitor quality. For cordless operation I was prepared to compromise on overall sound quality, but I was very pleasantly surprised with this product. The sound is very good, the earphones are comfortable and light to wear, having two sets of chargeable batteries will give you up to 7 hours of listening enjoyment, and moving around with the headphones has less interference than I anticipated. The range is comparable to any good quality 900 MHz phone, so you can walk into the yard and pretty much cover a normal single-family home without too much trouble. The accompanying instructions are a little fuzzy and the regulator dials on the headphones themselves are a bit counter-intuitive, but those are pretty much my only complaints. Install is extremely easy, so you get past those instructions pretty quick. I have tested them with both classical and pop music now, and I am quite happy with the sound.
Rating: Summary: Look No Further Review: When I first opened the box on this headset I thought how cheap it felt. But after using it I'm glad it's light. Don't be fooled, the Sennheiser quality is there. I'm totally hooked on this headeset now! I just wish the batteries were cheaper and time will tell how long they really last. Also still not sure why Amazon is selling additional headsets for this setup at a higher price.

Rating: Summary: Good. Review: When I first researched this product, I was impressed by the positive reviews. There were, of course, a few negative reviews which focused on interfearance, etc. I decided to take a chance and buy this product. Overall? I'm satisfied. The sound quality is excellent. Top knotch. I've placed the base in my basement, next to two CRT monitors and a whole lot of transformers, and I recieve little to no interfearance. If I walk around upstairs, they will occationally pop or crackle, but never for long. My only real complaint is that they seem to get suddenly softer for a few seconds, and then increase in volume. I'm sure it's not the signal strength, because it happens even when my head is perfectly still sitting next to the trasnmitter. But i'm now noticing it less and less. Bottom line, if you're looking for a great pair of wireless headphones, and are willing to accept the fact that "wireless" will never work perfectly, by all means, buy this product. Dont buy this product expecting them to behave as though they have an invisible wire of infinite length connecting them to your stereo.
