Good Headphones But There Are Much Better Options - Sennheiser Rs120 Wireless Headphones Critique






by Elijah Bell


I bought and returned two other pairs of wireless headphones in the sub-$200 price range before springing for these, and simply put they are worth the extra money. There's no interference, the sound quality is excellent throughout the range and the hiss that plagues most other wireless headphones doesn't exist.

Small delay may be a problem when using as hearing aid for TV I have used the Sennheiser model 130's for years and have been perfectly happy with them. I found them very comfortable and could wear them continuously without any discomfort. The digital system prevents the hiss often present in analog wireless. I don't ask much, in the terms of "range"; I'm sitting but 10-15 feet from the base-station. No interference issues with my home wireless (operates on 2.4-2.8 GHz auto selecting). They have excellent bass response that will actually tickle your ears, depending on what you are listening to of course. Living in a one bedroom apartment, it's awesome to sleep in peace and quiet, while not forcing boyfriend to keep quiet as a mouse as he stays up late. I've owned these cans for a month now, and I can say this headphone is not bad.

Remember this: escape is not a luxury; it is a necessity if you want to get an advanced degree in sound and mind travel. Now get out and buy these phones! He is one of the most critical individuals you have ever met when it comes to hearing vocals and music. At the youthful age of 81 we had tried just about everything to accommodate his auditory sensitivities. They're also fairly easy to open (the fit of the plastic container containing the actual headphones and base was a bit snug, so there was a bit of tugging there). Setting the headphones up is very easy. I have only two issues with this headset. The range of operation is not what I thought it should be.

But regular pop or rock tunes work just fine, same goes for video games and movies, and that's good enough for me. Straight forward setup, great sound! This makes it impossible for me to use them in this way. Since I have hearing issues and is why I buy earphones, I really can't use them for one purpose that is very important to me. It is probably about 1/3 of a second. That may not sound like much, but when you're playing 32nd notes on a guitar, what you're playing gets to your ears 4 notes later than you played it.

The open ear design is great for enjoying great audio in the house without getting closed off from the world. Not easy to set it up with 1 transmitter to multiple headphones, had to just daisy chain the audio cable to a second transmitter. Your music is sum of all sound waves at different frequencies. When you listen to a symphony, you typically have a wide range of frequencies going from 20Hz to 20 kHz.

I picked these up for a Christmas present for myself after researching wireless headphones online. My partner can't stand hearing gun shots & zombie screams coming from the living room.
