Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser RS 140 Wireless HiFi Headphone with Dynamic Compression System
Digital camera Review: #1 Headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these headphones for my husband who is hard of hearing for a Christmas present.Best money i ever spent.What a surprise for him.He loves them.His very expensive hearing aids were not enough for him to hear the television without turning the sound up.He doe'nt even have to wear his hearing aids now with these wonderful headphones.They have a seperate volumn control for each ear.For me It has really been great to watch television without it being so loud.My son told me about these headphones.I thank him every day for that.
Thanks Amazon.com for the great service of handling my order.

i bought these for my husband who has some hearing loss. our house has an open floor plan and when he has the tv on (loud) i can hear it from every other room in the house and it drowns out my own tv. after reading the reviews, i purchased the 140. let me tell you, from day 1, it's been heaven. i know he's there because i hear him laugh once in a while, but the house is silent except for my own tv on normal volume. when he first looked at the headphones he balked because they are big. he put them on and his eyes lit up! he can hear perfectly, there's no static, he can walk to every room and still hear his programs. he'd been missing so much of the programs just because he couldn't hear even with the volume way up, not any more! he is so happy and i am doubly happy! i can't recommend them enough.Digital camera Review: 1st class!!

It is such a relief to watch a movie now and be able to hear EVERY sentence instead of one every now and then!!!! GREAT product!Digital camera Review: A good product but not as good as advertised
Summary: 3 Stars
The headphone is comfortable and has good sound quality. But the range is not as good as advertised. My home is a quiet eletro-magnetic environment in 900 MHz band. The house is far away from city and even from neighbors. There is no electronic equipment operating in this band in my house, when the cordless phone is not used. Even so, I get only about 100 ft range (with two interior walls between) when I start to hear noise.
The "silence suppression" feature is supposed to reduce the annoying factor of noise. The idea is when sound level drops below some level (presumably it is silence period with only noise), the sound is completely cut off so the user won't hear noise in the silence period. But in practice, it doesn't work very well. When the signal is low, I can still hear it although the noise is there. But the headphone keeps cutting off so I cannot use it.
Apparently Sennheiser is having a lot of trouble with noise. Several reviews mention that fact, and they also go out of their way to deal with noise. I don't understand why they cannot make it better. I have a cordless phone working in the same band and in analogue mode. But it can cover the range without any problem.
On the positive side, this headphone is not interfered by my cordless phone, unlike my last one.
Digital camera Review: A good quality product
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the second set of wireless headphones I tried for watching TV late at night while the wife was sleeping next to me (after returning the first pair). These cost slightly more than the Sony brand I had previously but it was well worth the money.
They are very comfortible and use an inductance charging system (you just put them on the cradle and the battery charges). Sometimes you have to line them up for the charging light to come on but after using them for many months I haven't had to fiddle with the positioning very often.
The sound quality is good but I am not an audiophile so I can't give an indepth report there. I am able to clearly hear everything and I would rank the sound quality over the speakers in the TV (a Samsung LCD).
I reserve 5 stars for products that are over-the-top impressive so 4 stars is as good of a rating as I can give this quality product (I was tempted to go 5 stars on this review). If you are looking for a good pair of wireless speakers for the money I would absolutely recommend these.
You get the occassional pop & whistle that all wireless speakers seem to get but it doesn't seem to happen very often. I have also listened to the TV while I run downstairs to raid the pantry without any interuption in sound so distance is more than I had expected.
