Sennheiser RS140 Wireless Headphones [Posted on 2008-06-05]
I have used these for about a month and am completely satisfied with them. That said, I must add the caveat that I am quite hard of hearing and I use them so I can hear what is being said on television without having to annoy everyone else in the house. I cannot evaluate their potential for audiophiles as I don't use them for music. (Deaf people don't appreciate music.) The headset is quite comfortable to wear and the controls are easy to use as long as you don't wear mittens. I particularly like the ability to get up and go to the kitchen for a refill without missing any of the movie dialogue. The only drawback is that the earmuffs block out a lot of the noise from the local environment. If my wife says something I have to pull one earpiece off and ask her over. But then, this may not be a drawback for some users.
Great for the hearing impaired [Posted on 2008-06-16]
I purchased these headphones for my father, and he loves them. He has impaired hearing in one ear and the balance control allows him to adjust the levels accordingly. His old headphones did not have this feature, and I was concerned about possible hearing damage to his good ear. Now we can all watch television together with the volume at a level that is comfortable for everyone. However, do keep in mind that these headphones are very effective at blocking out external noises, and it may take a bit of effort to gain the user's attention.
not good for noisy environment [Posted on 2008-06-18]
The product works good at distance but I am unable to hear music while riding my lawn mower.
Decent, but RS 120's are better for the price. Background low frequencies more pronounced. [Posted on 2008-06-23]
I have the RS 120 set for home and wanted to get something for work that would isolate more noise. I couldn't find a good set of wireless noise canceling headphones so I decided to try these. They were able to remove the high frequency noises but the low frequencies (people's voices) were more pronounced than without the headphones. It was very annoying so I sent them back and have been using my RS 120 set at work instead. The RS 120's don't drown out the background noise as much but it is much more tolerable than having random low frequency noises.
I didn't notice a difference in performance between the two so for the price the RS 120 set is a better buy and I actually prefer them as well.
What they're not saying... [Posted on 2008-06-27]
I received mine as a gift which I appreciate very much.
I feel I must warn people about a couple of serious design flaws I've run into with Sennheiser.
My headphones are connected to my computer. Computers turn the sound off when not in use. These headphones note that the sound has been turned off and after a set time go into hibernation as well. Before doing so, regardless of the volume setting on the headphones, they emit four extremely loud annoying beeps. They are loud enough to hurt your ears and there is no changing or getting rid of it.
They put the volume control wheel at the rear of the earcup. The pictures offered seem to intentionally hide this flaw. When I sit in my recliner the volume control wheel rests directly against the chair and the volume changes with the slightest movement of my head.
The sound doesn't matter. The design flaws render these headphones unusable. I can no longer trust Sennheiser to test their products properly before offering them for sale.
