Stenheiser 195 RD

The have excellent sound reproduction. I have severe mid and hi frequently hearing loss. Using frequency amplification profile G I can understand most speech much better than with my hearing aids. Music is just superb! When I use my hearing aids with the headphones I experience left side feedback until I turn my hearing aids volume way down Overall I am very pleased! Larry Gibe MD

I really like the sound quality of these headphones. Set-up was pretty straightforward; the only hiccup was finding a "hidden" screen on the TV sound settings to make sure optical sound was on PCM. This is obviously something Sennheiser couldn't control. My only gripe is the headphones fit a little too tightly, and after a while my ears begin to hurt. And I take my hearing aids off when I use the headphones, since otherwise it would be more uncomfortable. Someone said the headphones might stretch with time, but slight discomfort is why I rated them 4-stars. I would buy them again, however.

Complicated but Fabulous for the Hearing Impaired

Purchased for Dad who is hard of hearing and Super impressive for that purpose. As an initial challenge, setting up and operating these headphones is pretty complicated given multiple modes, settings and subsettings. A dial with settings A-G is right on the transmitter and were that all would be very easy to use, but these don't simply go from low to hi volume, and to select mode for hearing impaired requires tricky scrolling through multiple modes via another button, as well as adjusting volume with yet another button on headphones themselves (with another dial for balance between ears), so there are literally four layers of interconnected controls to decipher and a close reading of the instructions is essential. Also tricky to get the correct setting on your TV, in our case one allowing both optical out and TV speakers. That said, when I finally figured it all out, these headphones are absolutely tremendous for the hearing impaired, providing a very robust volume range in the hearing-impaired mode (once you figure out how to get there) and allowing for a high degree of fine tuning to find the optimal tone and balance between background sound and dialogue. Setting aside the complexity and slightly tight fit, a very impressive piece of equipment that will allow the hard of hearing to rediscover the simple joy of TV. Crutchfield experience also stellar, Gus patiently explained optical out capability and return of a different model with inferior volume readily accepted.

The reason for the low score is that a 6.5 headphone connector is not included , only a cable for the 3.5. My receiver has the large headphone jack as do most higher end receivers. it seems technology marches at a faster pace than products. That being said, Seinhauser is quality and Crutchfield service and shipping is top notch.

Great new way to listen to TVwithout disturbing the house.

Works perfectly, and runs directly from either an analog input or light powered digital. My old set only accepted analog, and my new TV has only digital.

Should Have Bought These Years Ago!

I am retired military and was on a C-130 flight crew for 17 years and we did not always use our ear protection the way it was intended to be used and over the years our hearing loss got a bit greater. I ordered these 195 headphones through Crutchfield, whose service was excellent, and could not be happier!! In the past I could not make out all the words in some movies while sitting on the couch. I kind of cupped my hands around my ears and finally had enough. I "fine tuned" the headset to my liking and have not looked back since. These are a must if your hearing needs a little lift. The headsets are very well built and have numerous settings in order to adapt to all individuals. Money extremely well spent!!

I do like able to choose different type of sound. By either more voice or background or even both. To even high or low. Plus the big part, wireless.

Poor quality

They sound great. But there is a problem with build quality. After 2 years of moderate use (not even daily) the pseudo leather started to peel off showing the foam underneath. They look awful now with black pieces hanging off of the cushions and there are black flakes all over the floor.

Outstanding Headphones

I am very happy with these headphones. They work exactly as advertised and they sound great. Excellent range as well. I have a pair of Sennheiser wired headphones and I like them too but the long cord was an issue. I like to stay up and watch TV and I don't bother anyone with the headphones. They charge up very nicely on the cradle. I don't sleep much these days due to an injury so I use these at least five hours each night and they are charged up by the next evening. You get what you pay for generally and these are no exception.

Lives Up To It's Billing

Don't think there is a better set of tv headphones on the market. Need them for movies and other program to better hear dialogue. The modes in this model make voices very clear and provide adjustments not available in other models or competitor products.

I am a little hard of hearing. These are great for that. On the expensive side, but worth it

Excellent headphones for the price. This is my second pair. My first pair was bought 2 years ago from Crutchfield too. Small difference is that my 1st pair (rev1) had softer earcups and were much more comfortable. This 2nd pair (rev2) had slightly firmer earcups and not as comfortable for long time (>1 hour) wear. Another note...it may be difficult to get replacemenmt earcups. I searched The Sennheiser website and could not find any replacement earcups for purchase. I chatted with Crutchfiled's tech support. No help at all...just sent me back to the Sennheiser website.
