Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sennheiser's RS 45 wireless headphones are designed to bring you the most flexible and high-quality listening device for today's sophisticated home entertainment systems. The RS 45 headphones can plug into any 0.125-inch or 0.25-inch jack for use with nearly any stereo headphone plug. Using 900 MHz frequencies for extended range and clearer reception, the RS 45 headphones provide excellent sound quality and an extended frequency response.

Volume and channel controls can be individually set on the headphones for better sound, and Center-Lock auto tuning automatically adjusts to the transmitter with a touch of a button, and can be reset with a second touch.

Roam up to 300 feet from the transmitter and still hear your music, through walls, ceilings, even outdoors. Soft cloth-covered earpads and headband cushion keeps your head comfortable even during long listening sessions. For multiple listeners, simply add a second set of headphones and both can listen in on a single transmitter.

These headphones can run up to four hours before needing to be recharged. When the power runs out, simply drop them into the cradle recharger. This can be done up to 500 times without any "memory" effect to degrade your runtime.

For an incredibly versatile wireless solution for private listening to your favorite music, Sennheiser's RS 45 wireless headphones provide all the power you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good device for treadmill, December 12, 2001

I primarily use it to watch TV while working on treadmill. Sound is very crisp and clear most of the time however once in a while there's some disturbance. It doesn't block out the external noises completely but still good enough to listen to the TV comfortably while working out on treadmill.

Headset is very cozy and comfortable on the ears. I used it only for a few days so far and I'm very happy with this piece.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good design, decent sound quality, static, no isolation, March 11, 2002

This review is from: Sennheiser RS 45 HiFi Stereo Wireless Headphones (Black) (Electronics)

I bought these to be able to watch tv while my girlfriend is studying by my side. Connection is easy as 1-2-3. Immediately picked up the sound channel and produced nice sound. If you are into serious sound, then you should forget about wireless in the first place. You can wander around between the rooms and still have the reception. The thing i didn't like was this "900 MHz" technology. Just like in cordless phones there is interference and occasional noise. Funny thing - regular TV broadcast gave less noise then watching "Run Lola Run" on DVD. Go figure...
Yes, one more thing: sitting next to me on the couch my girlfriend said that she could hear sound coming pretty clear out of external earphone covers and kept asking me to turn it down. Even she was surprised when she found out that the volume level was pretty low. I'm thinking of returning them.

Good design, decent sound quality, static and no sound shield.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wireless can't be perfect, November 6, 2003

This review is from: Sennheiser RS 45 HiFi Stereo Wireless Headphones (Black) (Electronics)

I bought this product to be able to watch tv without disturbing my wife who doesn't like background noise when she's reading. For that purpose the Sennheiser RS-45 is great. I can sit wherever and move freely without being constrained by a cord.

But don't expect too much. If you move around, there will be few disturbances in reception, just as there would be if you are moving around with a portable radio. Next room the reception is not too great, so you can forget about going to the basement with the headphones if the transmitter is somewhere else.

In short: if you're looking for perfect sound quality, get regular headphones with a cord. If it's more important for you that you can move around a bit, the Sennheiser RS-45 is a good option.
