The sound is very good for general use. I use them to drown out office noise with online music and they're perfect. The range is about 75 feet and the two AAA batteries last for 10-20 hours of use. They keep my head from being tethered to my computer which led to a few accidental, but hilarous, near-whiplash moments as I tried to leave my desk quickly.
The only downfall is looking a little silly with the slightly oversized headphones on your head as you walk around the office. Yeah, if I really concentrate I can hear the faintest of noise in the background but, come on, I'm playing music off of a computer in a loud, busy office.
One of the best technology and convenience purchases I've ever made.Get more detail about Sennheiser Rs110 926 Mhz Wireless Rf Headphones.

A sound engineer's perspective...
Great Sennheiser quality - strikingly similar to some of their wired models (HD202, ect). What I expected. People say don't even bother with other brands. For the great prices Sennheiser offers, I know I don't.
Works in a large house or large condo. Static (as with all wireless headphones) occurs under 4 feet. Some people don't understand that this is natural. I've been probably 50' to 100' away from the base and have had no dropouts. Static occurs over 20' but is sparse and only in certain 'spots' - usally about two square feet. The solution - avoid those 'spots' or mess with the tuning knob.
PROS:
Fairly flat frequency response - VERY nice mids and highs
Close in quality to many mid-range wired models
Almost flawless reception when in the same room
Comfortable, open-aire design - not too tight, not too loose
CONS:
Big (but so are all wireless phones)
Silver accent color (makes them look even bigger)
No rechargeable batteries
May slip off of smaller heads when bending over (mine is big though)
Lacks a bit of bass because of the open-aire design (makes it perfect for TV but leaves a tad to be desired for music)
IMPORTANT:
Your TV has RCA OUTputs
Your volume has to be UP on the TV a little for these to work - how to circumvent this? Run your cable through a VCR and take the base station out of the RCA outputs of your VCR - now you can mute the TV, but your phones will still work through your VCR volume.
The verdict? Hard to beat for the price. Wireless headphones are not perfect, but these are about as good as you can get. Want rechargeables? Upgrade to the Sennheiser RS-120s - the same electronics, but you pay $30 more for rechargeables. Want a closed-aire design? Upgrade to the RS 140s. Want something that is open-aire and rechargeable but a bit more 'stylish' - ie. all black and less 'grandpa grey' - get the HS 130s.
I understand that the 130s and 140s have 'automatic' tuning. I would think however this could be a blessing and also a curse. Also, for those who have hearing loss in one ear - the 140s have adjustable left/right balance.
Old people hate these at first because it's essentially admitting that they have hearing loss, but give them 2 days and they LOVE them.Get more detail about Sennheiser Rs110 926 Mhz Wireless Rf Headphones.
