1389240 2014-11-30 22:56:00 I bought Sennheiser RS120ii Wireless headphones yesterday, on sale at DSE.
Sound is much better than I expected, wireless functions OK, comfortable to wear.

The issue I have, if there is no music/sound going into the wireless base, then after a few minutes it must go into a power save mode(?)
and that causes a LOUD hissing through the headphones. As soon as music starts again its fine.
But no music, its quiet for a few minutes then that loud static hiss.

Is this normal with these wireless headphones. Its bad enough to consider returning them.
Cheers

Edit :opps, should have been in the other 'chat' forum :-)

1389242 2014-12-01 00:41:00 I find this a bit annoying but the reproduction is so good with these phones I can put up with it. Pato (2463)

If it's normal then it's a pretty bad design.

It IS pretty bad.
Mine was drifting off channel on the weekend , had to retune it in several times in a 1/2 hours use.
Is this day & age , why cant the wireless be locked into the exact freq, like almost every other modern wireless device . Having to manually tune it in is really last century.

I was expecting much better for my $150 .

1389245 2014-12-07 20:30:00 That sounds beyond bad, if it can't hold on to its set frequency it may well be faulty - or you have some major interference problem. Agent_24 (57)
