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.

Clear Sounds & Reception
I purchased these as a present for my dad and upon unwrapping them to charge the batteries, instantly wished I had got them for myself. I tested them around the house and in the garden and only started to experience a little background hiss about 50 yards from the receiver and through about four brick walls! The sound is crisp with plenty of base and seemed equally good for both music and TV/movies. I have owned several wired headphones and was dubious about how a wireless version would compare - let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. The freedom alone is worth the purchase price. I will be buying myself a pair when the next pay check arrives and I suggest you do the same.

Brilliant headphones !!!!!
Just purchased these phones from you and i must sat i was totally blown away with the great sound.Let me start by saying I'm severe to moderately deaf and had all but given up listening to my large cd collection which were starting to gather dust.Id heard they work great with hearing aids what i didn't know until i discovered by accident was they really excel when used with the t switch setting on the hearing aid .Id give them a 10 if i could.

RS 140s. Freedom and quality
Sennheiser have hit the mark for me with these phones.
Not being a complete Audiophile. (I listen to music I like when I can. As opposed to Superb production.)
I have found this set of cordless phones to be just the ticket.
I am now able to listen to my favourite Psychedelic '60s sounds whenever I like, wherever within the home without disturbing the rest of the family.
Phones arrived yesterday. Charged up batteries overnight.(16hrs recommended for 22hrs life?0
Couldn't wait to come home from work and try these babies out.
Having already sampled my sons RS 120 open backed cordless phones before I was prepared for the experience.
Have to say that Sennheiser are definetly Top off the game in headphone technology.
Phones were slipped on and I was prepared to listen to whatever was within the CD player at the time. It just so happened to be "Singers Unlimited" Accapella sessions. A good test then? Resulting in excellent clarity with slight hiss only prevelent between tracks and not within quieter moments of tracks.(The source is upstairs and I am downstairs in the kitchen).
There would appear to be little or no sound leakage from these phones. Wife and son had entered room and were unaware that I was playing anything at all!
Found the freedom of movement quite disconcerting at first. I kept trying to compensate for a trailing cord. That of course didn't exist.
I am typing this as I listen to "Real life permanent daydreams". And again no problems whatsoever. Wife and son are in bed and I am typing this and listening to my favourite type of music downstairs. It's, as good as it gets.

If you want the freedom of movement and the ability to listen to what you want/when you want. Within your own home.Without disturbing others.(OOh err .. Just been to the toilet had a fag. No interuption. Still quality sound.) You surely couldn't go wrong in buying these headphones.(I wouldn't recommend locking yourself in the garden shed and indulging in some headbanging, if the source is in the backroom, upstairs, between two layers of concrete.)
I would guess ? they are not for those with limitless time and are able to pick out faults in recording. but have to say, that for cordless phones. These must surely be the best?

BTW. not sure if Amazon have got it right? They appear to have these phones listed twice. Go for Sennhheisser RS 140 Wireless Balanced Headphones. These are cheaper. And I believe the same as the RS 140 RFs
