Customer Review: re: retraction of my 1st review
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok I fugured out the set up , if you plug in the single prong into your tv,dvd player,blue ray , single prong headset female recepticle , turn the volumn on your tv,blue ray , dvd player all the way up "max" (after you plug in the head set ofcourse)..doing this increases the signal , I TRIED THIS AND ABSOLUTLY NO STATIC This is only my 3rd day with them and now that i figured how to get rid of the static it is a great bargain , these are easily 150$ headset . quality is fantastic , when playing ps3 , the missles go from one side left "through your head lol " to the other side right ! awsome . best of all no static ! no ! and reading the other reviews im expecting to them to get even better ,,,,supposedly the speakers need time to be broken in , so it is supposed to get even better ,,,,,improving on the sound I already think is great !
I dont know much about headphones , my first pair . they fit great , very soft on the ears and head . they look kewl ,it gets 5 stars ...except the IN THE BACKGROUND . that is kinda the purpose isnt it to hear fantasic sound quality . when its turned up and u can drown out the hiss it is surpberb . I bought this for my ps3 and watching blue ray's late at night . So during movies and games where there is dialoug or brief quietness , the becomes annoying . I have read other reviews and advice about controling the by the way you set it up , sorry but they are wrong , TOO USE THE 2 PRONG AUDIO OUT ON ANY TV OR RECIEVER IS USED FOR OTHER "COMPLETE" COMPONANTS , NOT HEAD PHONES , SO THAT SET UP DOES NOT WORK , THE ONLY WAY IS THE HEAD PHONE SINGLE PRONG INSERT. ( SO THEREFORE SLIGHTY WEEKER SIGNAL MEANING STATIC OR NOW IF THE HAD A DIGITAL OPITCAL OUT HOOK UP ,THAT WOULD WORK CAUSE YOU COULD USE THE HDML for DISPLAY (VIDEO) only AND SWITCH THE AUDIO TO OPITCAL OUT . MEANING YOU DONT NEED A COMPLETE COMPONANT FOR A TWO PRONG AUDIO OUT (WHICH DOES NOT WORK )
Any way if you dont mind static these are 5 stars .
If anyone reads this and can recommend to me a set of head phones that does not have static . please let me know Review: Works Fine for me
Summary: 5 Stars It works fine for me. I came to Amazon's website looking for a wireless headphones and this came up in my search and a few others. For some strange reason I settled on this one despite it being a little more expensive than others. I started reading the reviews before purchasing. Most were positive and some were very negative. I took both into consideration and thought to myself the problems people were talking about seem to be isolated. So I made the plunge. I am happy to say all is good so far. I used Amazon Prime, ordered it on Thursay and got it on Friday. It charges fine. I fell asleep with it on last night and it was still working fine when I got up. The volume is loud, which was the one thing I was worried about and from some of the reviews that gave me concern because if I had trouble hearing then I was sending it back. I am hearing impaired and can only hear from one ear so if the sound was too low then it wouldn't be worth it to keep it. But the volume is just fine. I haven't walked around my house to see the range I get yet, but that is not why I bought it. I just need it to listen to the tv late at night while my Aunt sleeps over in the next bedroom. I initally hooked it up to the Audio out ports but I didn't get anything when I did that. So I used the headphone adapter that was included and plugged it into my headphone port on the TV and used the Channels and tunning button and I got reception and everything is working fine. I recall someone writing a review saying that everytime they turn it off they have to retune to get reception again. Taht only happened to me once. When I turn it off I put it on the cradle but I don't let the metal connect. I let the headphones rest on the cushion while on the cradle. I leave the headphone adapter connected to the tv. Then when I want to use them. I plug the cradle back into the power outlet and move the headphones so it gets a momentary charge (meaning I let the metal touch the cradle) then I turn them on and Voila I don't have to retune it. Whatever is on the TV I immediately hear it. I would suggest that for those of you experiencing that problem. I have even suggested my mom get a pair.
Customer Review: Aweful "Cutout" was due to wrong connection to Home Theater
Summary: 5 Stars
THE GOOD: I've owned these earphones for 1.5 years now. I got them so I could hear the TV over the noise of my two young sons. They worked like a dream and I loved being able to turn the TV volume down all the way during their nap time and be able to watch my shows at a high earphone volume and not wake them. I am really thrilled that I can move around the house, do laundry, dishes, and still hear the TV without blasting everyone in the house. My only dislike is that they are a bit big on my head so sometimes when I am moving around the house, I will add a knit hat over them to secure them better to my head. But it is not a problem at all when I am sitting and watching from one location.
THE BAD: The trouble began after we moved. I thought maybe the new house had "interference" that was causing the base unit power to suddenly shut off, causing the earphones to static in my ears at an unusually loud volume. So I moved the base around to different areas around the TV hoping for improvement, to no avail. My husband tried plugging them into various outlets behind the TV, Home Theater System, etc. But I ended up giving up and put them away for months.
THE GOOD AGAIN: One day I dug them out, really wanting to watch a movie without the distractions of my noisy house (er, boys). I looked through the reviews on Amazon to see if anyone had figured out a fix to this problem. Mostly I concluded that people gave up. But since I knew that these earphones worked perfectly at our last house and NO electronic equipment had been changed, there must be a simple solution. I got my husband involved (again) and after many tries at connecting the base into the home theater system into places where the earphone worked (and then later turned off and went to static) we eventually found the RIGHT place to plug them in and VIOLA!!!! I've been happy . . . thrilled . . . even delighted every since. And as an added bonus, my youngest son has been having trouble with his ears and will soon get tubes. Until them, the earphones belong to him (otherwise he blasts us with volume since he cannot hear well).
Customer Review: Great for Seniors!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this set for my 73 year old mother as a Christmas gift, and let me say that she just loves them to death. Her hearing was so bad that she would blast the tv at physically painful levels, and she still couldn't make out what was being said. Now she can hear everything clearly, even dialogues where the people are whispering, and the headset volume only needs to be at a normal level. She finds them very comfortable...she even fell asleep in them the first time she wore them. When she woke up, she kept the headset on, and I didn't notice any ear rubbing or redness when she took them off to go to bed. When I woke up the next morning, she was already wearing them to watch the news.
I also tested the headset before giving them to her, keeping in mind the complaints from other reviewers, and this is what I found:
These phones may not be a good choice for hardcore audiophiles, but for your average, run-of-the-mill consumer this is an excellent headset for the price. The sound quality is good with television viewing, and I only noticed hisses/pops when the headset wasn't receiving a signal. I'm not sure what the issue was with some of the other reviewers' setups, but I can mute the television, or lower the volume to 0 and still maintain a good signal. (I did need to increase the headset volume a little when I went to 0 on the tv, but muted doesn't affect the signal at all.)
Neither of us have put the 150 foot range to the test, but my mom claims that she can still hear the tv from the back of her 60 foot trailer (the charger's in the front), and when she goes outside to get the paper. The power cord for the charger is more than long enough for my purposes, and the headset settles into its cradle almost by itself with the earmuffs contracted. If you keep the muffs extended, you will need to do a jiggle here or there to set it in place. The phones are very comfortable with a lot of cushioning and a loose grip. This may not be good for people with small heads or who will be active while wearing them, but for me, I tend to get headaches with high-tension muffs, so I like them.
Customer Review: Awesome Wireless Headset!
Summary: 5 Stars
These wireless headphones are really awesome! The base unit comes with a phono plug to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter, and then a 3.5 mm headphone jack to left/right RCA audio adapter. The base unit has nice, long RCA cables on it. They are not heavily shielded or anything, but they are on par with a good set of headphone wires.
The wireless has worked awesome for me! No static or noise or any interference! I was worried that there might be a slight amount of static due to all of my computer and electronic devices planted only inches away from the Sennheiser base unit. I have not had a single issue at all! Amazing!
The headphones have a on/off switch on the left ear cup. It also houses the 2 x AAA batteries (rechargeable ones that were included). The right ear cup has two dials. One for volume, and one to tune the headphones. The volume is fine, no problems. However, I find the "tune" dial to be a little archaic. The base unit itself has a toggle switch that lets you select between 3 channels. I have 3 units, all set to different channels, so I can tune into which ever one I want to at the time, and my brother and sister can too. I would have preferred a similar switch to have been present on the headphones, even though it is easy as pie to tune the signal in, and you have a good wide range where you get superb sound (unlike some tuning devices where you have that magical sweet-spot that is harder than a fruit-cake to get perfect so you don't have static). The headset itself is also a bit heavy, so if you plan on leaning forward with them on, be ready to keep them from sliding off your head. Not too bad, considering they have batteries and all.
The price is not too bad! And, being made by Sennheiser, these headphones are great! If you are looking for a wireless headset, I recommend these, unless you are looking to spend MUCH more, or are willing to gamble on quality. I was amazed to find the Sennheiser RS120's at such a great price and such awesome performance!
