| I bought these not expecting much and was utterly blown away by the sound quality. The KLEER technology they use results in audiphile grade sound without any of the noise or interference I have had with previous wireless units. I have used them constantly for television and critical listening to music (I'm a musician) for over a month and the batteries in the phones are still holding up. The batteries in the small transmitter gave way after a week but it was easy to set up the supplied wall wart power. They are especially great for late night TV and listening to music in my condo without disturbing the neighbors. Reception is great even upstairs. The phones design is very comfortable and they are well made. The only disappointment was the lag in transmission made them unusable for playing my guitar. For everything else you don't really notice it. Highly recommended and worth the price! |

If static and interference concerns you, pay a few extra dollars and get yourself a good set of digital headphones like the RS 160. All wireless links are affected by low signal strength and interference, the effect on audio quality is a major difference between analog and digital modulation. As the signal quality deteriorates in an analog system the listener hears increasing amounts of static. Very annoying. In a digital system, the audio is reconstructed from a bitstream (ones and zeros) received from the transmitter. Sophisticated error correction routines are used to "fix" errors in the bitstream resulting from interference or low signal strength. The result is perfectly clear audio until the bit errors overwhelm the signal processing in the receiver, then the audio simply drops out and you know you've strayed a little too far from the transmitter.
The RS 160 uses integrated circuits by a company called Kleer to transmit CD quality audio, and that's exactly what you get. The sound is fantastic and limited only by the hardware and cup design of the headphones themselves. Audiophiles may want to step up to the RS 170 or RS 180, but for television, computer, or music at night when the baby goes to bed...these are perfect. You'll hear things in your music you weren't able to hear before using high quality headphones.
The on/off/mute button is easily found on the headset, as are the adjacent up and down volume buttons. I put alkaline batteries in the headphones to test them right out of the box and put the rechargeable batteries in to charge overnight. Every week (5-10 hours of use) I plug the headset into the power cord that normally feeds the transmitter to recharge. The batteries have never run down. The over ear design of the cups blocks out some external noises, but not much. Still, they are very comfortable and help to block out the neighbor's conversation in the backyard at night. Setup is a breeze, you simply plug the audio jack into a source and turn on the base and headphones. That's it, there are no channels to switch or tune. The base and headset sync up in a couple seconds and you're done. Up to four headsets can be synced to the same source. The range is as advertised. I'll find myself wandering outside at night to water the lawn while listening to the game. I can't say enough good things about these headphones, they're great. |
Must buy, no regrets

| I love it! I hooked it up to my Bose Wave Soundlink and I don't want to return it. I was able to install the batteries in the headphone pretty easily and quickly powered up the base and that's it. I was ready! I went from room to room including upstairs and closed the bedroom door while my Bose was running in the kitchen. Crystal clear sound thanks to 2.4GHZ range. I am glad I waited so long to buy a wireless headset and this is really the BMW of the headphones. |
Exceeded My Expactations

Sennheiser RS 160 Digital Wireless Headphone
I have a severe hearing loss from my military service. Thses are fantastic headphones with the best sound quality on the market. I use the headphones for watching TV and listening to the stereo. The nice thing about this unit is the fact you can use regular batteries for the transmitter and headphones or the supplied AC adapter to power the transmitter and recharge the headphones with the supplied rechargable batteries. I chose to use replacable batteries for simplicity. The range for these headphones is remarkable I have been 'outside at over 100 feet from the transmitter and was still receiving an excellent signal in the headphones through the walls. You do NOT have to worry about line of sight with this unit......transmission is not affected through walls. You don't even have to be in the same room to receive an excellent high quality signal. I would rate this product 10 stars if I could. The old saying "You will get what you pay for" and "You can't take quality away from a good product or expect good quality from a cheap product! I hope this review will help you to think "Quality First" before you buy......you won't be sorry you did!
