Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle
Digital camera Review: 3 Star Headphones
Summary: 3 Stars
I am glad I bought the refurbished one's and did not pay $100.00 for these.
The sound quality is good, but not great. They are uncomfortable and don't
fit well. They will fall off if you bend over. There is a hiss in the sound
if you fine tune them for more volume. I do like the fact that the batteries are rechargeable. I do like the charging cradle. Like I said I am glad I only paid $36.00 for them. If I had paid $100.00 I would have been ripped off.
Digital camera Review: 3 Years old and still going strong
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought a similarly priced set of wireless headphones when my first child was born, to allow us to watch TV at a realistic volume and not wake up our little light sleeper. They were problematic, hurt your ears so much that we needed to take a break while watching anything longer than a sitcom, static abounded, and eventually neither of us could stand them anymore. After lots of research, I settled on this offering from Sennheiser, having decent reviews and being not terribly expensive. Now 3 years later, I still love them just as much, and have had no issues at all. Here are my observations, and also addressing some "cons" listed by other reviewers:
1) Status/hissing noise. This seems to be a problem when the headphone volume is turned up high. We were irritated with inconsistent static at first, until we discovered that if we turned our stereo/amp up to the max, the headphone volume doesn't need to be up very high at all, and have experienced no static or hissing noise under these circumstances. Some static will also be present when the battery is running low, but as long as you keep them in the charging station when not in use, that really shouldn't be a problem.
2) Range seems pretty good. I have even gone into the next room to my kitchen to wash dishes or make a snack during a commercial, and been able to listen the whole time without cutting out. A trip to our garage for laundry, however, cuts in and out with some static.
3) Sound quality. I am not an expert, but I'd rate these as being "very good". Not the same as our home stereo system, but I'd say on par with sound from your TV.
4) Design. These phones are VERY comfortable. I have a small head, and these adjust fine without falling off. My husband has had friends over for gaming who have large noggins, and all say these are very comfortable, even after hours of wear. They sit on your ears, and are not what I would call "sound-isolating" headphones. You can hear ambient noises, but I prefer that. You could still hear a baby crying, and can detect when someone is trying to talk to you, though may not be able to hear the conversation until you remove the headphones. If you truly want to be in your own world and not hear ANYTHING else, these are not the headphones for you.
5) Durability. As I've said, we're past 3 years and still never had a problem. We're not abusive or rough with them, but they've been sat on, dropped, etc, with no issues.
6) Charging station. The charging unit is pretty big, and fits two headphones if you're careful. I cannot believe the negative comments I've read about these being so difficult to charge. There are grooves on the headphone so you know exactly where they are supposed to rest - it's not rocket science. We have a second pair, and getting the 2nd headphone on correctly so that both charge takes SLIGHTLY more work, basically just making sure they are both touching, which often just involves pushing back slightly when you put the 2nd one on. If you expect to just toss them on the charger as if you're playing horseshoes, then, yes, you will have problems. But if you walk up to the charger and place them on, you'll be fine.
Ultimately, VERY pleased with these headphones. Highly recommend!
Digital camera Review: 3 years later, still pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
We got these in 2005 and three years later they are holding up pretty well.
They still hold a charge well and the sound is fine. The only issue is that the metal area at the top of the headphones that comes in contact with the charging stand gets extremely corroded over time. It gets harder and harder to get the red light to come on indicating that it is recharging. Scraping off the corrosion seems to help, but it would be better if the charger connected differently so this didn't happen.
They are surprisingly durable and have survived numerous drops on a hard floor.
Digital camera Review: 300 foot range? Not in my surroundings.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item largely because one review claimed a range of 300 feet, although the "technical specifications" listed say 120 feet. I can tell you that the range is not 300' at my home, and it may not be the advertised 120'. But, having said that, the performance and quality of the product is, otherwise, very good; and, I would purchase another set, assuming I don't find a product with a better range.Digital camera Review: 4 stars is the average rating???????
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this product on April 1 and when I tried it I felt like it was a brank on April fools
after I saw the 5 stars reviews, I thoght this product doesn't even need a test drive to know how good it is.
People, don't give the 5 stars review any regard, the sound quality is horrible, the hiss and the whistling and the noise these headphones make is so off putting it will make you hate the show you're watching or the game you're playing or even your favorite song.
I really just can't comprehend all the 5 stars reviews.
Trust me people, you wanna try it at a store first before buying it on the internet, just to save you the return shipment cost.
