GREAT HEADPHONES. HAVE ANOTHER TV NOT TO FAR AWAY NOW I CAN WATCH MINE WHILE NOT BOTHERING ANYONE ELSE OF THEM BOTHERING ME. LOVE IT.
No matter what you are using them for, everyone around is going to hear. These headphones defeat that purpose completely.
The sound quality is good, the range is good, and they are comfortable to wear. However, the sound that emits from the headphones can be heard by everyone around, at about 1/2 volume.
First of all, these are good quality headphones. The point of headphones, in my opinion, is to provide the user with a comfortable auditory experience without bothering those around him/her.
I bought these because I wanted to be able to listen to music in my office, without having to worry about a cord restricting my movement and getting in my way all of the time. Even at a normal volume (and I like to listen to music a bit louder than most folks), the music from the headphones can be heard by everyone within 30 feet or more at my office, and there is a moderate amount of white noise in the office to combat some of it to start with.
I can scarcely think of a plausible application for these headphones. I find these to have been a big waste of money.
There was only one place to put it -- on the other side of a wall from our daughter's crib. The only drawback to this setup is that only one unit can charge at a time. We just bought a TV (40" LCD) for the first time since our daughter was born 3 years ago, and we really wanted to be able to enjoy it in the evening after she's in bed. Even without surround sound, sounds locate very appropriately and there's a rich response throughout the frequency range. I'm very sensitive to pressure on my head, but I can wear these headphones for hours without a twinge of migraine.All in all -- it's not perfect or theater-quality, but for the price, the value is amazing.NB: This is the additional headphone listing, which comes with only the headphones and batteries. Enter the Senn 120 headphones.We're by no means audiophiles, but for ordinary folks like us, they're a great deal for the money. We bought one base unit and one additional headset.
The charging mechanism is easy to use, and we were able to mount the base directly to the wall next to our television.One minor quibble -- the top part of the headband is a little uncomfortable for both of us, so we have to loosen it and rely on the earcups to stabilize the headset. The problem. That's not really a problem, though, since the battery life exceeds 20 hours. When compared to my in-laws' home theater, the sound is definitely inferior, but it's quite adequate for our needs. Even better, I can turn my unit volume way down for my supersensitive hearing, while my husband can bombard his eardrums to his heart's content. A major positive is that the earcups are not nearly as snug and clamped-down as most of the more expensive units we tested. You'll need a transmitter/charging unit to use the product.
Price is great and well worth it. This wireless set is a godsend as the TV does not need to be blaringly loud now. The user can adjust the volume without disturbing everyone else. Fast shipping method with no extra charge was a plus. Actually bought a second headset.
When I'm watching movies without them, I missa lot of dialogue. People with small heads may not like these because they won't stay on unless they remain motionless. Mine are actually Sennheiser HDR 120's. Now Ineed a second pair. The rangeis excellent. With these, even mumbling becomes clear. They arecomfortable.
All in all, it hasn't been that big a problemsince I don't walk around with them much. I'm sure they're probably the same thing.I bought them to use when I'm awake and my wife is asleep so that I don't disturb her.I noticed an added benefit, however. I have a big head and sometimes theyfall off when I lean forward. Now I don't watchTV without them, unless my daughter comes home from college and uses them. Battery life is great(the dock that is not included here will recharge your rechargeable batteries)and the sound is fine. Sometimes I put the TV on one ofthose music channels and go far out in the back yard with these on. If they didn't slip off when I lean forward, I'd give them a 5.
