WORTH EVERY PENNY!

I’ve been using mine almost daily from a laptop for 2 years, they work great. I’m still using the original batteries and they hold a charge just fine. There is occasional static if I walk around the house, but I have tons of electronics and I’m sure it’s other interference that probably any wireless headset would suffer from. I have found that some music does not sound so great with Windows Media Player (this is a software problem, not the headphones), I have had superb results with Winamp because the equalizer is so adjustable/tunable. So, these headphones combined with Winamp sound GREAT! I was reserved about getting these because of the price….but you know, music is such a big part of life, enjoy it to the MAX!
Easy to use but unacceptable interference levels for the price

I received the Sennheiser RS 140 headphones yesterday, and am sending them back tomorrow. My intended use was for watching movies and TV, especially late at night. Set up was cake, the product is well built, and the cradle and charging system works well.
However, these phones fall over where it counts, the sound quality. There is simply way too much interference for a product at this price level, and it is extremely distracting during dialog in movies or TV shows. May be fine if you just want to use it for music, as the sound quality itself is fairly good, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Outstanding, a boon to hearing impaired and their partners!

I originally bought a this wireless unit and headphone set hoping to find a solution for my wife, who over the past few years has suffered significant and progressive hearing loss in both ears. We hoped to use the set both for watching TV and while exercising on our treadmill. We watch a small TV while walking on our treadmill, but the noise of the treadmill and the hearing loss had made this a nightmare for my wife.
We got the set, and within 10 minutes I had it set up and connected using the 3.5 mm adapter into the aux sound output of the 19″ digital TV at the treadmill. Manual instructions were clear, setup was a no-brainer. My wife is ecstatic, and has been using it while exercising for over two months or longer now. She can not only hear the TV, and adjust volume and balance to one or the other ear, using simple controls on the headphones right ear piece, the headphones help muffle and protect her from the sound of the treadmill! Take my word for it, this is a fantastic and helpful solution for the hearing impaired. I even use the headphones now while on the treadmill, even though, fortunately, my hearing remains sharp and acute. But I love screening out the noise of the treadmill, as I walk for 1 1.5 hours at a time.
But wait, there is more!
We wanted to also use the set with our TV, a 42″ LG. At first, we could not figure out how to use it, because there is no 3.5 mm outlet on the TV. Then I figured out you just locate the aux output, and find one video and two sound outputs, all three classic RCA connector types outlets. They may be red and black for sound instead of red and white, the classic coding, but you just plug red and white sound RCA plugs from the headphones into the red and black outputs on the TV, and presto, you have sound to the earphones.
Two weeks ago I ordered a second wireless set with headphones, AND an additional third headset. We can now watch TV together without one or the other being able to either NOT hear it, or being DEAFENED by the volume. Best of all, when she watches something like Top Model or Project Runway, I am able to stay in the room and read without having to listen to it. That alone is worth the price of admission!!
If we both use the earphones, we simply mute the TV with the remote, and each control our sound volume and balance with our headsets. Or, my wife uses the headset, and I just use the remote control and no head set. Be aware the only problem then is that if you have the TV un-muted and too loud, at some point, the person with the headset will become aware of the echo sound of the TV as an external sound conflicting with the headset sound.
This unit has been not just all we hoped for, but more. I cannot recommend it highly enough if you are faced with the needs we were able to solve with this equipment.
Great product!

I have purchased two sets. During the several months since purchase I had no problems with these headphones. They work great for watching TV. Sound quality is very good. Battery life is long enough for watching a couple of shows and then you can recharge it until the next time. The system allows for the use of two headphones on the same receiver which is a very nice feature. The headphones tend to be a bit heavy on the ears after a couple of hours but other than that, I have no complaints (not a big issue though).
Not what I expected

There is simply too much background noise when there isn’t any music playing, and even when there is music on, I could still hear the buzzing noise. If this is true of all wireless models, then I would rather stick to wired headphones.
