The Sennheiser RS 120 wireless headphones are a budget alternative to the Sennheiser RS 130 headphones (*est. $120). Both professionals and users rate sound quality highly, and many like how easy it is to charge them. Range is good, but static is more noticeable with them than with the RS 130 headphones. In reviews, the Sennheiser RS 120 headphones are sensitive to interference from cordless and cell phones. And as with the RS 130 headphones, users complain of accidentally pressing the buttons when lying down. They also say the fit is too loose for activities like working in the garden while listening to music.
