Manufacturer's Description
The Sennheiser RS 140 Wireless Balanced Headphones use a switchable dynamic compression system for excellent sound accuracy and balance control for optimum right/left volume adjustment. The adjustable high output level can compensate for minor hearing loss, and the auto-tuning mechanism with memory function finds crisp, clear music. The self-learning automatic level control provides optimum signal reception. Power comes from NiMH batteries that are recharged by simply putting the headphones on their transmitter base that can be mounted to a wall. A charge lasts for 23 hours. The RS 140 is backed by a two-year warranty.

Pretty Good
The sound quality is pretty good but not hi-fi standard , then again most don't know what hi-fi quality is .

I am into the hi-fi standard myself but the fact you are free to move around without a wired set of phones works for me .

You do get some hiss between tracks witch is a down point but on the whole very comfortable to wear and worth the price good kit.

sennheiser rs 140 wireless balanced headphones
well, after reading other reviews, i decided to buy a set of rs 140's. i received the headphones this morning. they are nice to wear. easy to set up and charge. the only downside is the lack of bass and high treble, i also own a set of bose in ear head phones, so going from the deep bass on them to the high treble of these did my head in. mine are connected to my lap top, so after changing my default player to real player, and turning the treble and mid tones right down, and the bass right up, they sound a lot better now.
i haven't heard any interferance and the hiss which you get with all wireless headphones is only slighly noticeable when the song has finished.
I paid £90 for mine, anymore and i would of been disapointed, i would of sent them back if i'd of paid £150 which some sites and stores are asking for these

Flexible (almost unbreakable) headset, great sound!
After one and a half years of daily use I am still enjoying them as day one. I haven't changed the battery yet. I find this product an essential for watching TV and movies on my PC without disturbing the neighbors. I am very selective about my sound products and I consider myself having a good pitch, although I am not a professional sound engineer. Therefore I stand by the quote:"if you like the sound then it's good enough". I have a range of headphones from Sennheiser and AKG and I have not a single complain to make about the sound quality of RS 140.

I have read other reviewers complaining about the "analogue and FM" transmit. Analogue to digital, and back, to analogue conversation are expensive and not always necessary in "real time" situations. Error correction works fine in analogue in this headset, along with sound source "locking". If you need to find a clear frequency there are three available. Unless you are really unlucky there must be at least one clear.

I like this headset as I use it at nights when I fall asleep watching movies. I wake up in the morning finding the headset thrown to the floor or squashed between the wall and the bed. That's a pretty hard resistance test and they are passing it.

Cons:
The only think I dislike is the balance dial, placed next to the volume dial, with the exact same size as the latter. Balance on headphones is meant for people with hearing impairment. From one point of view is good that Sennheiser had considered people with disabilities in this design but on the other it sometimes makes me think that it was targeted explicitly for older people with hearing disabilities and little interest in exceptional sound clarity, which is not true for their sound quality.

Also I tend to forget that initially I found them a bit big, uncomfortable and tight something my friends remind me when they try them at my place. I believe it's something that gets unnoticed after a while.
