Weakness:
hissing uncomfortable wear at that high price I just bought the Sennheiser SR 45 so I could listen to the stereo while moving around the house and yard. I am extremely disappointed: The headphone make me feel hot and uncomfortable, pressing directly on the ear. the circumaural type headphones slightly larger than the earpad would be better. Also there is lots of whistling hissing and rustling depending on your movement, and 30 foot from the source it's unbearably bad. Maybe if you have an old house with only wooden walls it would be better, but modern houses have drywall with steelstuds |

Strength:
The company fixes or just sends you a new product quickly and with no hassle. Great customer service, but a joke of a product....
Weakness:
None of the three replacements work.. Terrible product I purchased the Wireless RS 85's so I could watch and hear another channel ( PIP)on TV while my daughter watched Nickelodeon. Two of these fell apart with-in 6 months. The third set I just got back from Sennheiser is crap. I'm seven feet away from the TV and if I so much as turn my head I lose the sound. Even if I don't move the sound disappears off and on. Don't buy for any reason. |

Strength:
Mobility, light weight, comfort
Weakness:
Not as good of sound as Sennheiser's other models I think these things are great! (I have the RS65s). They don't sound like the HD600s I love to death, but the wireless feature is a must. I have mine hooked up to my computer and the mobility while working is wonderful. Occasionally I hear interference, but it's not much of a bother. Much nicer sounding and better comfort than the competitive products. Similar Products Used: RCA, AKG units |

Strength:
Can walk around while wearing them.
Weakness:
Plastic stresses/breaks easily. Poor audio quality. Transmitter stopped working. I got these $99 HDR 60 wireless headphones with the T60 transmitter for Christmas based on a reccomendation. What a waste! The quality of audio is less than my $20 Sony headphones I''ve used reliably for 4 years. Occasional interference. After 3 months, I took off my headphones, and the weak plastic where the headphone meets the bridge snapped. I returned them and received a "compatible" HDR 65 headphone and charged it for one day. After this, my transmitter no longer reacted until I unplugged it and repowered it. Then after 10 minutes, the transmitter cut out. I am sending it all back for a new set. Being able to get up from your cube without constantly put your headphones down is a nice convienience, but the audio will suffer. Add the shoddiness of the equipment that I have, I could never reccomend this product. I wish I had read these reviews before requesting them.

light weight
Weakness:
awful cracking sound when listening to classical music Bought the RS 40 wireless FM device. Worked fine with common TV and pop sounds. Failed completely when listening to classical music where voices are dominant. Sounded like a speaker that has been blown up! Terrible.... Similar Products Used: none |

Constant hissing in background I bought these headphones for casual use with my TV set. Although they get the job done, they leave a lot to be desired. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Comfortable
Weakness:
Terrible sound; lots of hissing; very difficult to get it to lock onto the broadcast source I have had a pair of Senn HD580s for a few years, and LOVE them--they can be worn comfortably for hours (I wear them while I work) and the quality of sound is stunning. So I was very excited to discover a Senn wireless set. Similar Products Used: Sennheiser HD580 |
