This headphone allows me to enjoy television at a much lower volume which is comfortable for my wife who does not share my hearing problem. I would recommend this product to my friends and my wife would also. This is a top quality device at a very affordable price, it delivers what it claims.

I use these both to listen to music from my computer amp, and to monitor mic recordings that I make. The setup was pretty easy but confusing in one aspect. There is no "on button" on the transmitter and even after plugging it in and making sure the headphone batteries were ready and the unit turned on, the transmitter remained dormant. I had to unplug and re-plug the phono jack for it to click on.
Sound-wise these are great for listening to electronic music, rock, jazz, etc. Definitely not audiophile quality though or anything close -- you can tell the difference in sound. For mic monitoring, vocals sound like they're coming out of tin can compared to my Sennheiser 280s. The plus side is that they're much lighter than the 280s and don't completely block out other sounds in the house (which can be a bad thing in some circumstances). So, if you need them just for music or relaxing, perfect. If you need them for any type of mixing or computer audio work, I would recommend going a step or two up in terms of driver quality.

Clear sounding but at low volumes you hear
a hum. Changing channels does not help.

I could never really get the signal dialed in without static. I liked the size and the fact that it used AA batteries. But finally it quit working after about ten days, and I had to send it back to
BH.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 110 RF Stereo Wireless Headphone System:
I use it for TV watching & have used this model & the one before it, the HDR 100, for about 3 yrs. I had first tried 3 other makes but none were natural sounding or loud enough for me.
1st, they are a bargain for the price, but they are very bright in the high frequency range, I ended up putting some layers of tissue over the drivers and then put the ear pads back on..it helps but they still were a little too bright!
The first pair partially broke at the ear cups connector to the headband within months, it didn't come totally off, just the ear cups swung down much more than they originally did. They were still usable for 2 more yrs. until one side no longer worked. I believe the older unit had a flimsy volume control that caused the problem. I noticed that the new pair's volume control has a much firmer feeling.
The headset itself is VERY tight on the head, I think only a child would be comfortable as they come out of the box....luckily the top band can be gently bent up at different points and made to fit an adult head. It took many times to get it to where it was comfortable to watch for hours.
As others have said they are not really meant as walk around or exercise headphones.
Every once in awhile there has been interference even when only 12' from the transmitter, but it's very rare. I wish they had a tone control! I ended up putting an EQ between the output of the TV and the transmitter so that I could EQ them to my liking.

I like the sound performance that I get with these headphones that I use for TV. With the over-the-ear design, I can get the sound boost I need without blasting the rest of the room, and I can still hear the conversation around me.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 110 RF Stereo Wireless Headphone System:
I am extremely disappointed with this product. I will say first that the Bluetooth signal is excellent -- however, there is a rotary signal tuning control like a channel tuning control on a 1954 TV set. It tunes to the Bluetooth RF channel. Is that really necessary? And worse, this rotary control is about one millimeter away from the identical volume control. So does that sound like you might easily confuse them while they're on your head? Yes, I think so. It's horrible design. Now, the ear cushions. It's good that they snap in easily so they can be replaced. It's incredibly bad that they snap into place with such a low degree of "attachment" if you will that they tend to fall off. And one of them has already warped slightly making it even looser. I am using the cushiony sides of cut-down Velcro strips between the cushions and the actual earpieces to tighten the connections. Why haven't I just returned or exchanged them? Because my 94 year old mother is in love with them and walks around with them on. They help her understand what she's hearing what she watches. Do yourself a favor and spend more on a higher quality Bluetooth headphone.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 110 RF Stereo Wireless Headphone System:
The sound is very clear. But it does not have an on/off button and must stay on anytime that a source is available. Many times, it loses the source. So, you have to reset the source to reset it.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 110 RF Stereo Wireless Headphone System:
Sennheiser's sound is always very consistent, but in the case of the RS 110 RF Stereo Wireless Headphone, the design gets in the way. It doesn't have an open "cup" that surrounds your ear, but a fabric covers the cup and gets in direct contact with your ears. As a result it makes your ears feel very warm after 5 minutes using it. Had to return and exchange it for a Sony.

Althhough the product works fine, the fact that you can't buy the separate parts in case of failure with one (as I had) makes is a product that I would not buy again, nor recommend to anyone.
When working they done great. It would be nice if the headphones were not so bulky.

In it's price class I find these headphones a super value. They aren't the lightest pair out there, but I get great reception throughout my one floor home. I can even sit on the patio and hear perfectly. My wife is very thankful for this purchase. Now I can catch up on my shows when I get home from work and she sleeps like a princess.

The RS 110 Headphones work great and beyond my expectations. I have a pair of Sony DP-IF3000 Headphones that don't sound nearly as good and this one can be heard from another room. And a half the price.

Hook it directly to the audio-outs of the DVD player and listen to television quietly.
Very simple to set-up. I took it out of box, plugged the main portion into the electricity and to the DVD plug-ins, placed batteries in the headset, turned the switch on, adjusted the volume and tuner scroll-wheel on the headset to my liking, and it worked absolutely perfect.
I mute the television and let my husband sleep while I am listening to television. Perfect solution.
My husband can watch NASCAR in the other room, and I can watch what I like in the living room without ever interfering with each other. One television volume no longer overpowers the other.
If my husband and I are watching a show together, he can reduce the volume to his liking, and I can put the headset on so I can hear it crystal clear.
This is the best wireless headset we have owned.
Very highly recommend it to everyone. We intend to buy another one for my husband's use at the computer. He tested my unit with his computer and it is perfect.
The RS110RF Headphone System comes with two different adapters to make it easy on users who need to use it with different types of systems. One of the adapters is a larger plug, and one is a 2-to-1 plug that matches to a computer headphone port.
You can't go wrong by choosing this headset system. Crystal clear sound. I can walk anywhere in the apartment and pick up the same high quality sound, with no crackles or breaking up. Excellent reception.

The Sennheiser RS 110 is a wireless headphone system that can enable you to listen to all of your movies as loud as you want, with great intelligibility, through walls into the next room without disturbing the rest of the family. I am using it with the headphone output of my receiver, which mutes the amplifiers and puts all channels into the headphones. Volume is adjusted both at the receiver and at the headphone, and reception channel can be fine tuned to perfection.

Good sound, easy to use, decent price. I've owned more comfortable headphones, nevertheless these are just fine for a couple hours of listening.
