Lowest price on these headphones from Sennheiser according to 3 camels. These are designed for watching TV at home and use 2.4ghz RF instead of Bluetooth for transmission, which has the benefit of very low lag but can suffer from static if there is nearby radio interference.

I use these for watching TV after my young daughter goes to bed, they work fairly well and sound good for the price. I purchased a second pair so my wife and I can watch together.

  Thanks, was looking at buying these a while back and then your post popped up to remind me.

  Unless I am mistaken this model does use Bluetooth? Something called “LE audio”?

  Appears the non-Bluetooth model is called “RS 120 II RF” (see link below) - is that the model you have?

  Does anybody know if this has the loud noise problem when it's been quiet for a while? There was a Sennheiser wireless headphone set I was looking at getting but a lot of reviews complained about how if it hadn't played any noise for a while it would play a deafening static sound, which would be a problem for me who wears headphones for hours at a time with only occasional sound from videos etc.

  edit: Damn seems so, one review mentions "If the sound cuts out for even 10 seconds (not the 1 minute sennheiser say they DELIBERATELY designed it to do, the transmitter shuts down and you get a (painful) earful of white noise at full volume. Totally brainless design and also absolutely no warning. Unusable."

  Recent reviews also says the quality is much worse from previous models, with a long lag and constant issues requiring restarts.

    Sounds like the sound level to the transmitter is too low, and sound level to the headphones is too high. If the level is low it cuts out. It needs to be high enough for the transmitter to detect audio.

    The solution is to have the volume up to a decent level on the audio source to the transmitter, and turning down the sound on the headphones.

    I have the RS 170.

  Owned those for a few years. The disconnection problem after 120 sec of inactivity, static and interference was a pain for me. Were not sitting tight and my ears were getting sweaty in summer. Dumped in a cupboard as a spare for now.

    Agree. And was shocked a Sennheiser headphones have such below-average sound. The headband snapped into two so easily. It's now in the pile of rubbish waiting for the next council collection.

      Probably don't sound great because they're basically a lower end model from a 15 year old range. Above it were the RS 130 which were pretty decent for the time and had circumaural earpads, and the closed-back RS 140 - both long discontinued.

      The RS 130 I owned had the same headband weakness and broke years ago. Have another pair that have held up so far but we're careful with them. They're useless if the plastic snaps and there's no way they'd survive the headband stretch durability tests I've seen in reviews!
