extremely happy with our new headphones. The surround sound works beautifully one major feature is one can listen with the headphones while the other one listens with the TV volume at the same time.

These were a replacement for the same set, purchased March 22, 2017. They are a great addition to allow a senior citizen with hearing loss to be able to hear the TV, without blasting everyone else in the room! :-)
The rechargeable feature is great. Simply sit the headphones on the transmitter/base and charge them overnight. Nothing to plug in to the headset.
The sound quality is very good. There is some adjustment that can be made to modify the sound (i.e., pre-set equalizer/boost settings and surround sound).
I wish I could have deducted 1/4 star. For the money spent, the ear pieces did not last as long on the previous set as I thought they should (although they were used almost daily). The batteries (AAA Ni-MH) lost functionality and would not hold a charge after about 4 years. Maybe that is expecting too much.
After additional research, there are replacement ear covers available for around $25, as well as the batteries can be replaced with over-the-counter rechargeable AAA-NiMH for around $10.

A very nice sounding set of headphones. Good bass and highs as well. Connected easily to Samsung tv and stay charged for a very long time. Each time you put them on the base they automatically charge. Definitely worth the price.

I am so happy with this product. I am very hard of hearing and had so much trouble watching tv. Raising the volume just didn’t help, so I have been relying on closed captions, which just made watching tv harder and far less enjoyable.
Using the Sennheiser Digital TV Headphones has changed everything for me! I feel like I’m in my own private surround studio. And an extra bonus— if someone else is watching with me they can still hear the tv without any switching options on the settings mode. I recommend this product 100%.

These are great headsets. I am older so this is the first headset that I have bought for any of my devices. I felt the instructions were difficult to understand. They are written for young people who know what all of the symbols mean. But with the help of my spouse, we were able to figure it out. Once you know what is needed it is pretty easy to set up. The audio is really nice. I can use at the same time my spouse listens to the TV audio. We were able to use the analog cord to attach the sound bar to the TV after we installed the headset with the digital cord. I would highly recommend for an older person who has a hard time hearing all of the dialog when listening through the TV speakers.

Purchased these Earphones for my hearing impaired 93-year-old mother. They were easy to install and because of the wonderful clarity, she now can hear and understand what is being said on the TV. The setup is sleek and has a small footprint. I didn't give five stars because of the tiny power button which is difficult to use (located on the headset) and Mom can't turn the unit on by herself. However, they hold the charge all day so once I turn them on for her she's good to go until I turn them off for the night and return them to the charging station. The large listening radius is also a major plus. Mom is not confined to a small space but can get up and walk around without losing reception.

It works good although the headphones do get a little warm on my ears. Also, the top is a challenge to adjust for comfort when leaning back in recliner.

This is my first set of wireless headphones and I use them exclusively for watching TV. I have not tried them with music-only sources so I can't comment on that. For TV they do the trick very well and now I can watch movies late at night without waking up the whole house. So far they have been flawless.

Wanted an easy to use wireless headphone to watch my movies without disrupting or being disrupted. After reviewing a number of systems I desided to purchase the Sennheiser. Connection to my TV was very simple and quick. The 3 sound levels allow you to personalize the experience with the highest level being surround sound.
Very pleased with this system.

I have used other TV head phones in the past and not really liked the results. I decided to bite the bullet and buy some good ones. They have a great range and beautiful sound. When I can't listen to my great sound system I can put these on and still get a good surround sound experience!

These are excellent headphones for watching tv good quality sound,
But if you want to watch DVD, Netflix, or Firestick you will need to purchase a digital to analog decoder for about $40.00 I bought the OREI DA34 and it works great.
here is a description of why that is needed that I found on the Sennheiser website under their Q & A
Audio coming from certain content providers or devices (Netflix, Roku, Apple TV etc.) typically use an advanced digital audio signal such as HDMI or advanced Dolby audio. These cannot be translated into analog or PCM by most television software and so the signal is not passed through into the headphones. As a result you may get silence or audio from a different source like your cable box.
In order to resolve this, you will you will need to change the audio output format in the app or device to PCM (may be in the smart hub on some TVs) or you will need a digital to analog decoder. The Digital to Analog Decoder will take the advanced digital signal and decode it into an analog signal that your headphones can utilize.
You will not lose audio quality as the digital signal is a carrier signal only. Any audio you hear from your TV speakers, sound bar or headphones is an analog signal. The digital signal is translated by the TV, receiver or other device by the time it reaches the transducers. The only difference is where the audio signal is translated.
If your digital optical output is not in use we recommend the OREI DA34.
If the digital optical output is already being used by a device like a sound bar you will want the J-TECHDigital to Analog Decoder because it offers both an analog output for the headphones to use and an optical output for the soundbar (or other device) to use.

These sound great, but…… iI was looking for headphones to hook up to TV, they kept cutting out. I ended up returning them and going to a bluetooth headset with higher bluetooth numbers to correct sound quitting.

My husband need headphones to watch TV since head is hard of hearing Most that we have purchased in the past last about 6month to a year. So far this system has been a excellent choice with no issues. He has been using them now for 2years. I would highly recommend.

I'd used a Sennheiser wireless headphone in the past so this was my second one. Overall the features and build quality seem better. It's nice they've added an optical in so I don't have to use a converter anymore. Comfy fit over the ears. It's nice to have a bass booster and a few different listening modes to you can change things up depending on what you're listening to. It's not fine tuning but there is enough difference in each mode to find one that stands out for your particular use at the time.
Things that can be improved: The control buttons on the side will take some practice. There are 4 of them (bass, sound mode, volume up, volume down) and it's hard to tell the difference out of the box. That will get easier over time but in the beginning I accidentally hit the wrong buttons and had to cycle through to get the same listening mode back when all I wanted to do was change the volume.
Also, the max sound allowed could be louder. My guess is this is an industry thing, but I remember my old pair being able to crank up louder.

Use these all the time, such a great product, don’t really need all the power adapters for other countries with it, but a great product, can wear it for about 10 hours on a full charge, could use spare batteries for headset instead of extra power connectors.
