Digital camera Review: A blessing
Summary: 5 Stars
Now my family can enjoy a program withiout the tv blaring---(hubby is hard of hearing). Wish I would have bought it years ago!!Digital camera Review: A fine wireless headset
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good wireless headset. I bought it to use with my iMac computer, and it does a very good job, supplying high-fidelity audio, much better than through the speakers. The wearing comfort is pretty good; I didn't give it five stars partly because the on-the-ear design is a bit less comfortable than an over-the-ear setup. The battery life is very long and the wireless range is phenomenal.
Also, there is one odd foible, applicable with computer audio that may have long silences: if there is silence (no signal) for three minutes, the base station turns off its carrier broadcast, which results in a blast of static in the headphones. You have to make the computer beep to turn the carrier back on. This is not a problem for listening to music or the typical video, but it is, say, for a NASA video stream, which may have minutes of silence. Or just general computer operations with occasional audio. A definite but minor annoyance.
I may buy another one for the TV/hi-fi so my daughter can watch movies without having to throttle the volume too severely. Luckily, these operate on three different frequencies. I'm also intrigued by the notion of getting an extra headset (HDR-120) so two people can use them at once from the same base station, to listen to the same thing.
Overall, I am very happy with these 'phones. They are quite superior to the Sony IR wireless 'phones that they replaced. And it's great to wander around the house without losing whatever I'm listening to from the computer!
Digital camera Review: A good product ,,,,, BUT

I read the other reviews before ordering Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle
Was so hopeful an 84 yr old very hard of hearing friend living with us- could use these.
He is very alert and love technical things- but, the headphones just arent versatal enough for all we need to use them for.
We needed something for not only tv, but the DVD player/ VCR player which are all hooked into an entertainment center. It appears each time a change is needed from one to another, we have to move the furniture around to change the plug to the unit to each item different item. We had also hoped to be able to put them to the Computer so he can listen to it, which they do work, but always have to keep changing the plug.
when needed.
Yes,we can change the plug to the earphones EACH time, but what a bother! We need ONE thing to be able to do all. We are still looking. Going to have to get a special bookcase by him for all the electronics needed, if we dont run out of money first.
Also, the headphones get very warm when using.
Digital camera Review: A good purchase for me

I got these to replace a wired Sony set I had for 12 years. It was a good change for me. The sounds are crisp and detailed and being wireless is terrific. I'm an audiophile and very particular about my sounds and these are A+. Only so often I will hear a quiet burst of interference but I don't blame the system one bit. The base is resting on my 12" JBL powered subwoofer next to my Onkyo rack with a MonsterPower line conditioner not 15" from it. I can freely move about the house listening away and it stays clear. Setting it up initially scared me a bit, you really do need to have it plugged in to a source before powering up the base. This sets the 'auto-on' for the unit. It didn't work initially, then I followed the instructions and it was okay. The base also didn't want to initially charge the headphones, getting the contact pads to touch the charge rail was ackward. I bent them out a bit and it charged fine. My head is a bit big so the phones naturally widened. Now I can toss the phones on the base and it starts charging easily.Digital camera Review: A great buy!

I have been using superb Sony studio style headphones for last few years, but was annoyed when I had to step outside for smoke while watching some shows. After reading the reviews for this product I decided to give it a try. And I am so glad that I did!! The headphones feel featherweight, they fit so perfectly on my ears that I can wear them for hours without getting tired around ears. The springy action of the band is neither tight not too light - it is perfect! The quality of sound is fantastic! The volume control is a great convenience built right into the headphones - not rocket science but something I missed on the previous Sony headphones. The reception is superb. I now listen to music all the time - while working, while cooking, etc. Very pleasurable experience!!!
