Sennheiser RS 135 On-Ear Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle

Ear phones that cup over your ears have nothing over these for TV watching. These have large pads that cover your ears entirely without cupping them. When leaning back on a couch cushion, they don't cup your ears and twist them causing external ear discomfort like other headphones. I have tested both types for watching TV, and the sound is identical. Perhaps if you are listening to high-fidelity music players there might be a difference. But for watching TV, these radio-wave headphones sound every bit as good as the blue-tooth variety that cup over your ears. Whats more, you can pair an unlimited number of headphones with a single base station.I returned my Avantree Ensemble Wireless Over-Ear Headphones to Amazon because these were so much easier to use. The Avantree headphones needed to go through a blue-tooth pairing cycle before every use, whereas the Sennheiser RS 135 On-Ear Wireless RF Headphones were instantly on, more comfortable and reliable.

Sound quality is excellent. Other reviewers complained of headphones easily getting out of tune and hearing static. I have not had this problem. They have been working excellently for me. My only complaint, and the reason for only 3 stars on comfort, is they come with on ear pads. I do not find them comfortable. Fortunately, I took another reviewer's recommendation and ordered "over ear" pads to fit them. Now they are exceptionally comfortable and I wear them for several hours at a time. I have even slept in them!Posting this 5 months after receiving the headphones: For someone hard of hearing this has been one of the best gifts to myself I probably have made. The sound is excellent, they seem durable, and have a long lasting charge. I can even wear them while taking my dogs out into the backyard and not miss any of the program. Have had no problems with them!

We had purchased a similar pair (RS 118) of wireless headphones for my mother-in-law in Germany, so I had some experience with this line of headphones. First off, the sound is really good. Clean highs, good bass, and the semi-open back doesn't block out all the ambient noise, although it's still difficult to carry on a real conversation with the headphones on. Second, the headset is very comfortable, although the cushion is uncomfortable if my hearing aid is still on. I like the fact that placing the headset back on the stand automatically recharges the batteries - no separate charging device or connection is needed. Third, setup is very easy, although I had some problems with a connection: we have all the sound running through a home entertainment receiver, with the TV connected via HDMI. The receiver had to be set to pass the audio through to the TV, instead of 'passing it through' internally only, and the only audio output connections were on the TV. The result was severe echo that could only be solved by resettting the audio delay for each input: cable, DVR, streaming, or DVD. Not good. In the end, I purchased an audio splitter that is capable of separating out the audio signal from the receiver before it gets to the TV. Works well, but it's yet another device in the mare's nest of wires behind the entertainment center. That said, none of this is Sennheiser's problem or fault.Bottom line: for the money, these wireless headphones can't be beat.

I’ve tried a number of wireless and Bluetooth units for tv. Nothing worked as well as this Sennheiser set. Great quality. External sound is blocked effectively. And I can still hear the audio 3 rooms away. Charging cradle is easy to use. I have 2 headsets and exchange them for charging. You do have to tune the headset to the frequency selected in the base. Only downside is the weight. However lighter units tend to have less quality and block less external sound.

I tried a few different wireless headsets a few years ago - and this was by far the best. It's a little large so slides off my head if I bend over - and it's bulky - but the sound is great and it holds up to the abuse I give it (like falling asleep with it on). I've bought 3 of them now since I added a second tv to my home.

I've been using a pair of Sennheiser TR160 wireless headphones for a lot of years. The only reason I bought these is because mine were so old that the wiring at the plug started to fray and they lost power. I can't complain I've probably had them for 10 years. I loved my old ones. They sounded great and were very comfortable to wear. I never had any problems with them. So I bought these to replace them. As soon as I set them up and put them on my head, I heard a very loud hissing noise competing with the TV audio from the A/V receiver. I pulled the headphones off and noticed a "Tune" dial on the headphones. My previous Sennheiser headphones did not have to be tuned in. I messed with the tune dial and was able to get the hiss a little better but was never able to get it to go away. The sound was basically terrible and I can't figure out why I have to tune them in when that was not an issue with my old ones. Also, the size of the ear cups was noticeably smaller than my old ones. Whereas my old ones went completely around your ears and were super comfortable, these are smaller and sit on your ears. They basically flatten your ears. They were much less comfortable. Bottom line, I loved my old Sennheiser headphones but these are TERRIBLE. I just can't fathom how a product made today can be so much worse than a product that they made ten years ago. These are literally not useable. I packed them up and returned them immediately.

This is the second one of these I have purchased (I am still using the first pair). The headphones are comfortable to wear for hours and provide excellent sound. The manual tuning function is a bit odd since you have to tune it like you are tuning in a radio station, but once adjusted it works well. Battery life is excellent and the stand is brilliant as it recharges the headphones every time you return them to the stand.

Bought this as a gift for the hubby. He loved it. The sound is good and the range where you can walk around is far. Hubby is impressed with it! The price is a bit steep but when its on sale, its reasonable compared to the other big names. The battery is good too.

Makes it easy to watch or listen without disturbing the rest of the family or even the neighbours.What takes away from them is they easily slip or fall off the head when you moving around and have to be ready to catch them.

ok

These things have amazing range. The only thing is if you leave them on with nothing playing, after about 10 minutes static will start to play because the main unit shuts down and stops sending a signal to the headphones so it defaults into a static. Which makes sense. Just don't be lazy and turn them off when not in use. also wouldn't mind them a little tighter but I just have a small head. Not their fault! haha
