WOW!
We pay extra for names. Bose, Mercedez Benz, Sennheiser . . . We pay because we have come to expect the best from such brands. Well, Sennheiser has definitely lived up to its name. These headphones are astounding. I was angry that someone stole my good JVC headsets that I've had for a zillion years. I was upset that I had to fork over more money because money has a way of disappearing. I am definitely not upset now. This was well worth the money. Set up only took a few minutes and was pretty straight forward and the sound is outstanding. Reception is perfect all through my (tiny) house and though the instructions warn of possible interference from other electronic devices, I have not found this to be a problem at all.

I would expect to pay at least double for this quality of sound. If I had to, I'd do it again with a smile on my face.

I use this more for intelligible hearing of TV programs than for music.
I am past 60 and for my age, my listening is worsening day by day that too after a surgery on my right ear. Earlier I used to enjoy TV programs (like Discovery, National Geography, HBO, Star Movies etc) almost till midnight.

Nowadays the TV programs are becoming more and more garbled (to me !) and couldn't enjoy the music and understand dialogues. I thought I have to settle down for the rest of my life with this deficiency.

I heard about wireless headphones which can be used for listening to TV programs. I read all reviews about Sennheiser wireless headphones and the almost unanimous recommendations by users.

Earlier days it was difficult to get these world class electronic devices in India. However things are improving and to my surprise I could get this headphone slightly above the international price (Rs. 3,500 equivalent to about $ 75).

I have used this for the past 2 weeks and I think I have made the right decision to go ahead with Sennheiser. Once I wear this and listen to TV, I am in new world altogether. The sound is so crisp and clear and I don't miss even one small whisper in movie and I am surprised how wonderful the normal mundane songs are with lots of additional instruments, which were not heard earlier !

The range is quite astonishing. I live in a two storeyed concrete building and when I wear this and go to open terrace, I could still hear TV programs (of course slight deterioration because of concrete structure). Within the house I can roam around all rooms and still don't have to miss anything.

The battery lasts reasonably well (I had to change only once during the past 2 weeks). I feel instead of rechargeable battery of RS120 or RS130 (which have almost identical specification), this replaceable battery is better because we can always use NiMH batteries and separate charger, thereby ensuring better reliability.

Overall I feel this investment is really going to serve me well.

worked only two days
This product was flaky from the start; when first plugged in, the power light on the sending unit did not come on, but then suddenly came on about 10 minutes later without being touched. It worked okay for a day or two, but then the power light went out again and never came back on. I returned it for credit, and Amazon handled the return in easy fashion, even paying return postage. I have had other Sennheiser products that I was pleased with, but this was a definite lemon.

Good headphones!
The product is exactly as described. The sound is great. Delivery was timely and the headphones were recieved in excellent condition.

I bought a batery charger and two additional sets of rechargable batteries, since when the batteries go, they do so very quickly.

There is a little distortion/static when the headphones are three walls away from the main unit, but it is not a big problem.

very satisfied
I absolutely LOVE these headphones. I only use them in my bedroom for watching loud movies or TV but they are great. The quality of the sound tickles my eardrums and for the price I paid when I got them I am ecstatic. Highly recommended.

The one con would be the fact that there is no recharger. Also, the batteries that came with mine were dead but once I replaced them they were good to go. Also, a single set of batteries will last you a long time. I actually got these about 8 months ago and have only replaced the batteries once and that was because I accidentally left them on. oops.
