I use the RS-120 in my one level ranch style house when watching TV and these headphones pick up the audio flawlessly, no matter which room I am in.
The padded ear cushions are flat and larger in diameter that one's ears, so if you do bend over, the headphones will tend to slide off your head. Wearing a baseball style cap helps to keep them in position, if need be.
This is the style of ear cushion I wanted. I have no problem with the headphones sliding off when sitting and watching TV, or just walking from room to room.
The adjustment buttons on the back of the headset are easy to work and once you get used to their locations, do not interfere with each other.
The headphones are large in diameter and I knew that going in. These ARE just what I wanted!
Above are some complaints I see often on the internet, but these headphones are great for my intended purpose. I highly recommend the RS-120. Great features and sound quality for the price.

I watched a movie and they sounded great. They had no static and were better sounding than a nice wired pair that I have, however the fit is terrible. They fit on your ears not around them so they will fall off very easily. I would not suggest these for working out or anything to active.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
The headphones sound great. Reception is clear and no static throughout the house. They are fine if you do not move your head, however if you look down they will fall off immediately. If the ear cup surrounded your ear they would stay on much better, but it sits on top of the ear which allows them to slip. I can't imagine anyone using these while working out. The downgrade to 3 stars is all about the fit. Too bad: I expected more from Sennheiser!

I use these headphones with my TV. I'm a hard of hearing and too frequently miss words when listening on the TV speakers. With these headphones I haven't missed a word.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
I use this to watch TV late at night so I don't disturb my neighbors. It would be best if you could try it on before buying because, as others have warned, it will fall off if you tip your head. Definitely not good to use while exercising or moving around.

I aam using this to watch TV in our bedroom while my wife sleeps. For the price, the sound quality is quite good. And the rechargeable batteries and charging station make it all very easy to use.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
I used the headphone with my Onkyo AV Receiver TX-SR605, my Sony PS3, my Panasonic 65" plasma TV at day, my Epson 1080p projector at night to watch my Vietnamese music videos collection (DVD and Blu-ray.) It sounds so great, so close, with such high fidelity I forget about my 7.1 surround sound speakers.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
These were purchased as a replacement for an older model that my grandmother uses daily. She called soon after receiving them to tell me that they were even better than her previous model. She is able to walk around the house while listening to the news on TV and to watch shows without disturbing my grandfather's reading.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
This is a shame. I bought these because of so many good reviews. They are light weight, the audio quality is good, but none of that matters because I can't get a clean signal anywhere.
I tried 3 different outlets, 2 which were directly into the wall. At best I get one channel of music and the other "channel" of hiss. When I get actual sound (music) in both sides (by adjusting the tune control), it's only one channel, not stereo. They are also not even, either (one side isn't as loud as the other.) In addition, they buzz through my amp which is where I really wanted them. I also tried again the next day in yet another outlet and audio system and the same thing happened.
Maybe I just got a bad pair, but these are completely useless to me.
On a positive note, B&H is letting me return these postage paid which scores a lot of points with me. I've been buying here for years and always have had excellent results. I'd recommend this retailer but would caution you on this product!
Thanks

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
The product is used mainly for listening to both AM and FM Music. The sound including bass and the reception is very good. For instance, the source (radio and transmitter) is in the living room and I have the headphone in the bedroom and it seems the sound remains outstanding. Of course you can not compare it's performance with those professional headphones with excellent features such as noise reduction but hey, for about sixty bucks you can't beat it.

Use with my iMac for recording with Logic. Use with iTunes and TV. All works perfect. Perfect sound. I live in a two story 3200 sq ft. house and can walk around every square inch and not get a speck of static.
Buy these....you will not be dissappointed.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
Sound Quality: When you have it tuned right and you are not too far away the sounds quality seams quite good. However you do get quite loud pops and crackles and just minimum distances away. Also and fairly importantly, the volume amplification is not very good you cannot make them very loud. I do not have bad hearing at all so it is not a problem but if you were listening to something that is already quiet in a noisy room, you could not turn it up loud enough.
Battery: The primary reason i bought this was the recharge station... it works as advertised and i have not depleted the battery life at all.
Design: I could have wished for a more comfortable design, it does fit various head sizes with no problem but i cannot say that it is terribly comfortable. Not uncomfortable but its no vacation. I also wish that the sound was more isolated, with the headphones turned up anyone in the room and easily hear what you are listening too.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
I was looking for a bluetooth headset for my iMac to use with music and streamed movies and the research revealed mixed reviews and opinions on everything Iooked at and prices assured me even less. In fact, I forgot wireless doesn't neccesarily mean Bluetooth. In my situation and budget wireless headphones means wireless headphones so I give these admittedly mildly antiquated gizmos a try. They are fine for music because the reception range is long, they are comfortable, AND they're wireless. Battery life is not suitable for aldayuse. THX BH FOR GOOD PRICE AND TIMELY SHIPPING ONCE AGAIN,!

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
I use these headphones all over the house, mostly listening to computer broadcasts....very clear, good distance....easy charging system. The ONE thing that really is not good is the ear pieces themselves. They are comfortable, but slip off all the time with very little movement. Just look down while you are standing up, and they are on the floor! They do not fit your ear, as do my Sony's.

Comments about Sennheiser RS 120 - RF Stereo Wireless Headphone Monitoring System with Base Transmitter/ Charger:
These wireless headphones are wonderful. I purchased this set after one of my other three sets stopped working after nearly 5 years of everyday use. There are improvements in this newer model, but I was glad to find that they work well with all my older Sennheiser base transmitters. One terrific money saving difference is the batteries in this newer model are now rechargeable. The price was the lowest I found on-line [...]The sound quality is wonderful. The best feature is that I can listen to television programs or music while sitting out by the pool or doing housework since they transmit through walls up to several hundred feet from the transmitter.
