Rating: Summary: good wireless headphones Review: These headphones are very good. They've started shipping adapters with the headphones, so fear no more if you have a CD player that has only a headphone jack. This should really be 4 and a half stars, because I get a constant, very soft static, but that's probably because my transmitter is right next to my wireless phone and my cell phone, along with my TV... the bass is brilliant (better than my JBL speaker system on my stereo, in fact), and the sound is generally clear. If you walk around alot, you tend to hit static spots, but those are rare and small. I strongly suggest these headphones if you want wireless; if you can use corded headphones, though, I'd suggest a set of Sennheiser corded headphones (no static).
Rating: Summary: OK headphones, but not what I was looking for... Review: This was my first set of wireless headphones. I've been looking for a while for a set to use at the computer because I dislike the wires running all over from my current headphones. I would say that these headphones are OK, but not great. Pros: > I'm no audiophile, but the sound was pretty good to me. Better than my cheapo corded headphones. > The "hook" charging system is nice, don't have to muck with some tiny connector to make sure it's charging, just drop them on the hook. Cons: > My main gripe is that when there is no music playing you can hear a constant low hiss. I tried all three frequencies to no avail. Maybe this was due to interference in my home? Don't know for sure. >The headphones come with stereo "RCA"-type output jacks, not a headphone jack. This would probably be nice if you're using it for a home stereo but my computer only has headphone jacks so I had to buy some adapters. > I found the headphones to be somewhat uncomfortable. I have a somewhat large head (hat size ~7 5/8) but after about 1/2 hour or so these weren't very comfy. Overall these are decent headphones, just not what I'm looking for.
Rating: Summary: Super form, functionality -- and cool, too! Review: When I first noticed this product on an Amazon best-seller list, my initial response was "what a great idea." My second was "sounds too good to be true." My third, after receiving my order and slipping these headphones on for the first time, was simply "WOW!"
From the elegant, ergonamic design to the superb sound, the Sennheiser RS-120s can't be beat.
The headphones come with three connection adapters, so they'll work with just about any TV, radio, stereo, DVD or game system. The base unit is small, inobtrusive and leaves a small enough footprint that you can find a spot for it just about anywhere.
But the bottom line is they work -- and they work well. I have them set up in my bedroom and connected to my TV so I can unwind late at night without keeping my spouse awake. And on Saturday afternoons I can have the game on with the volume pumped up without a peep of complaint from her or the kids (and even if they did, I'd never hear them anyway :-) Of course, I can walk around and do chores, work at my desk, whatever, without missing a second of the action.
The rechargable batteries are a great idea, too. No need to plug a cord in, simply place the headphones on the base unit metal rack to connect and charge effortlessly.
My personal standard for consumer testing is whether or not I can rip open the package and get the product working without having to reference the instructions or manual. No worries there ... just plug and play ... and so intuitive it can't get any easier.
Form, functionality and unbelievably cool, too. An unbeatable combination.
