Sennheiser RS110 RF Cordless Headphones

Great headphones

Posted Feb 10, 2006 - I have been using these headphones for about three weeks now. Overall, I'm extremely happy. I find I get perfectly clear reception anywhere in my apartment (up to around 50 feet away). They are very comfortable. I've even fallen asleep wearing them. I don't use them constantly, just once in a while, so I have yet to burn out the batteries I have in them. I've used them at least 10-12 hours so far, so they last at least that long. The sound is excellent. I find it's actually better than the speakers on my TV. The only problem is that I look like an air traffic controller while I walk around with them. Also, for some reason using the mini headphone converter didn't work. The sound had a buzz in the background and kept dropping out around every five to ten minutes. I'm not sure if it just doesn't work properly with it or if the converter was defective. I found however that I was able to plug the headphone base directly into the output for external speakers on my TV and it gave me perfect reception with no trouble at all. This is the only reason I gave it four stars, not five.

Sennheiser RS110

Posted Mar 7, 2006 - I was looking for relatively cheap wireless headphones when I stumbled across one last unit of the RS110 at Tweeters. There were boxes of RS100 and RS120, so I had to make a quick comparison on the spot. The RS100's max frequency response is 18.5 kHz vs. the RS110's frequency of 19.5 kHz, but both the RS100 and RS110 were priced at $50. The RS120 has the same specs as the RS110 except that it comes with rechargeable batteries and a charging base, but costs twice as much, $100. Well, I could easily replace the batteries of the RS110 with rechargeable ones for much less than the price difference of $50. So, I naturally went with the RS110. The headphones are a good value for the price. The sounds are crisp and clear, and the range is pretty good. I haven't measured it but the specs say 100 m. I can get a pretty clear reception standing outside my house in the driveway from my stereo or tv on the second floor of my house. They're also lightweight and I don't find them uncomfortable to wear for an hour or two. The only thing I don't find appealing is that the materials of construction seem like cheap plastic. All in all, a good pair of wireless headphones for the price.

It's great headphone.

Posted Aug 9, 2005 - I got it about a week ago. It's it really easy to install. There is no need to install any program or something. You just plug in and use it. It is very light compared to other headphones. It works for quite long distance, meaning the signal is strong enough. However, I didn't measure how long it work. Overall, it is a good choice for its price. I recommend it for normal use. If you want to full sound, you should choose Infrad one. By the nature of RF, it cuts some of the wavelengths.

Solid headphones

Posted Jul 31, 2005 - This is a solid pair of wireless headphones. Not as finnicky as others (Sony) to wireless interference. (Your experience with interference will depend on what kind of cordless phones and garage-door openers are in use in your neighborhood, though.) Sound quality is fine -- nothing fancy, but perfectly acceptable. You can wear these for the length of a movie or a couple of CDs comfortably. I think they'd get a little uncomfortable after wearing them for a full day, though.

Sennheiser RS110 RF Cordless Headphones

Posted Jan 3, 2006 - These were purchased for my mom who wears hearing aids and was complaining she could only understand about half of what was said on her TV. She reports these phones are the best thing that has happened to her tv watching, with or without her hearing aids in. I plugged them into a decent stereo receiver and was impressed, and I have a set of very high end Sennheiser corded phones. Well worth the money.

I bought this product because I needed a wireless ...

Posted Mar 18, 2005 - I bought this product because I needed a wireless set of headphones to use in our home workout room at 5:30 a.m. I chose this one because another review said it was a good one to have when working out. Boy, is it ever! I ride a stationary bike for 48 minutes and hardly know I have headphones on. The on/off switch and volume controls on the headphones are easy to use. I have an Onkyo receiver and tried to connect the jacks to the back. It worked great but only for the component it was plugged in to. I have a dvd player, cd player, and dish receiver so it would be nice to be able to hook it up in the back of the receiver and hear each of the components. I had to buy a "two into one" adaptor that the two headphone jacks plug into and then I plug the adapter into the front of the receiver. This cuts out the receiver's speakers and directs the audio to the headphones. I have to plug it in every morning and unplug it when I'm done. If the receiver had common inputs in the back that could be used for all of the components, I could leave the jacks plugged into them and then just turn the headphones on or off, depending on whether they're in use or not. This problem won't be a factor if someone is only hooking up one component like a tv or cd player. All in all, I'm very satisfied with the comfort and quality of sound.

Sennheiser RS 110

Posted Apr 23, 2006 - I use the RS110 primarily to complement my workout and found it to be a convenient way to work out without the mess of tangled wires. The sound is great, and I have not experienced any loss in sound. At times, however, I do hear occasional hissing, even when I'm standing near the receiver. At times, the headphones can get tight on the ears. Nevertheless, in conclusion, I got it at a good price and I am happy with it.

na

Posted Sep 5, 2005 - This headphone is very convenient for someone that hate to use wire cord phone. I take it when I watch TV and feel it is very good to receive message. But in soem time it can produce some interrupt signal. It worth to buy in a word.

Awesome!

Posted Jun 12, 2007 - I enjoyed listening to my neighbors telephone conversation on this the other day. Too bad it was a boring conversation about school =P Anyway, I only picked up the neighbor telephone signal once, but thought it was funny that I did. I looked for several days many many hours and couldnt figure out what to buy, after comparing I came to this one and dont regret it. I am ordering another set today.

Terrific Headphones

Posted Jan 11, 2006 - Got these headphones to replace much older model of cordless Sennheiser headphones. Am greatly impressed by excellent reception and very good sound clarity and bass response for cordless headphones at this price (bought for $49 at Tweeter.com). Only drawback is that these phones do not come with a rechargeable battery unit meaning that you have to feed it AAA batteries to keep them running--uses 2 batteries. I would highly recommend this product.
