Sennheiser RS 120

I returned to college two years ago and I had tons of project due every week, plus I worked. Our house is small and you can hear the TV in our computer room so my husband and I were always having battles… over volume control. My grandmother recommended this amazing headset. I purchased one and it saved my marriage and helped my get a 3.9 GPA. The clarity of this headset is amazing. They make you feel like you are in a theater. We loved this product so much I have purchase a set for my father and father-in-law. I most have if you have small children also.

I don't understand the high ratings for this product. I have these headphones, and I have a Rocketfish set. The Rocketfish set looks terrible; I thought these would look less conspicuous, and they do, but… the sound quality--the only thing that really matters in the end--is terrible. That is to say, the sound quality is great--what you can hear of it beyond the steady background distortion which goes away only for seconds at a time but is otherwise always there. I can use these to listen to the TV when I don't really care about the experience of listening--I just want to hear what people are saying. But I cannot use these headphones for watching movies when I want to hear all the nuances and all the background sounds, like a surround sound. I think one star is too high for what I purchased these for. Take my advice, go with Rocketfish!

I bought these based on the good reviews I'd read but once I got them I was extremely disappointed in them. Maybe I'm just used to better quality than some of the other reviewers but in my opinion the… sound quality of these headphones is terrible. You get almost no bass response at all. There is a very noticeable hiss at all volumes and the volume will only go to a certain level no matter what the source volume is set at. The earphones are comfortable but do make your ears hot. They are like wearing earmuffs. The seller I bought them from wouldn't allow returns of earphones so I ended up giving them to my teenage son. $65 wasted.

I just love these headphones - My Wife just loves that I have them - she feels like it was an early Christmas gift for her. I am using these for my television - she was so tierd of my having the "noise"… going all of the time. This has been a great relief for us both. Ease of use is great - controls right on the phones and the recharge is so simple just rest them in the stand - no plug to worry with - great battery life - good range around the house or out to the car or deck. They are not uncomfortable to wear and you can still hear instructions from the wife or the phone or door bell. I have not yet used them for music - they seem to be of a high quality sound technology so I am expecting that I will be just as impressed with the music capability as well. I am thinking about getting a splitter switch to connect my receiver as well.
