Sennheiser RS 120 Headset Review

Great improvement for those who use Sennheiser RS 110!

The main advantages of the Sennheiser RS-120 model are: great wireless technology integration that allows long range, clear sound with no distortions, rechargeable NiMH batteries and strong bass response

Some of the minuses brought to users by this Sennheiser pair of headphones are: humming noises are sometimes reproduced, some wireless interferences and a low durability standard

Sennheiser RS120 can be a great alternative for those who plan to buy the Sennheiser RS 130 version but their budget is not enough. The sound quality is highly appreciated by both professional and common users, almost all of the RS 120 reviews...

Sennheiser RS-120 Review

Wireless devices have one obvious advantage over their wired counterparts. The problem is, they often don't deliver the same quality of performance. JKABaseball takes a look at Sennheiser's RS 120 wireless headphones to see if they measure up.

We will once again take a look at a pair of Sennheiser headphones. These headphones sport something that neither the PX100 nor the HD 500 has. Well actually this pair lacks it; that is wires. In this review we will take the Sennheiser RS 120 for a test...

"Hot, heavy, noisy"

I have the 126s... avoid them at all costs. ...

The idea of a useful set of wireless headphones is a good one

This is not that set of useful headphones. Near constant crackling, hissing and white noise - no matter the RF channel chosen or the position on the tuning wheel. This performance over a distance of only 10 feet! Plus, hot and heavy

"Great headphones at a budget price"

Very comfortable to wear. Good bass for headphones, much better than ear buds. Excellent, clear audio... although I'm no pro. Replaceable AAA rechargeable batteries. Very good range. Wireless

Occasional "hiss" as you move around, especially at a distance. Should have swapped the "tuner" and volume knob positions but you"ll quickly learn which is which

I got the RS120 a month ago. The sound clarity and bass are excellent. Other than occasional interference, it's perfect

There is occasional interference, like phone and some unidentified sources

I bought these to listen to the TV and music while others are asleep... I'm a night owl. I did buy these factory refurbished at about 2/3rds the price, no problems to report.

Sennheiser RS 120 Wireless Hi-fi Headphone

I bought this set for my family. Everyone has an uncle who turns his TV so loud that all neighbors complain. We were cautions whether these headphones will work loud enough to get our lives back without tripping over the wires, but we no longer have to...

Long range. Excellent sound. Rechargable batteries. Sturdy design. Easy to wear for long time. Price

too easy to confuse volume and tune dials
