Any idea why the power does not come on, on the transmitter (green light doesn't glow). I have tried different direct power points (not plugged into a powerboard).
I just purchased a replacement set of RS 120 W headphones. I sat on the old ones. I noticed the new ones have auto tuning, which is nice I guess, but the problem I have with the new ones is the volume. I have the TV output to Max and even with the headphones volume to max it is not loud enough. However, the old ones were. What can I do?
Are the specifications the same on both sets maybe they downgraded the (integrated) amp. You could try checking all cables and connections, make sure they are well connected and that there isn't any corrosion. They could be faulty, the test for this would be to swap them out or test them on a different TV. If everything is as it should be and the problem persists, you should contact Sennheiser support and if all else fails you could buy a headphone amp to boost the signal.
can i get multiple headphone charger like a charging station for say 20 headphones at the same time?
I bought a pair of rs 120 ll headphones on Facebook marketplace for 5$ I didn't realise that there is the charging/ reciver/sender dock that comes with them is there anything I can do to get them to work Mabey a generic FM transmitter any help will be appreciated thanks
I am having difficulty tuning both left and right headphones in!
Assuming you are using an audio decoder converter between your tv and your Sennheiser I suggest you test the converter outputs individually. You may find one is not actually working (they should both work individually and give you stereo when both are connected. If one is not working you will need a new converter. Or you may find either left or right is not working well - perhaps one ear clear the other with sound but also static. I tried 2 converters as my first was quite cheap and did not work well. This was fixed by very gently readjusting the position of the plug (gently/slowly turn the connector and be ready to stop as soon as it hits the perfect spot). If you yourself are hearing impaired it might also help to have someone else in the family do the "tuning" as I've also found that the connector is very sensitive (sort of like tuning in a radio where you can hit the station but with a lot of static and have to marginally adjust to get the station without static). I turn it for my mother as she has trouble getting the precise point. And my biggest tip is that when you have set it never move the connectors or cords! Even the slightest bump seems to knock the connection enough to effect the sound. I am not sure how to include a utube link in this site but utube has some quite useful videos on optical connections for soundbars to android tvs, the principal is exactly the same and that's how I figured out how to fix it. Good luck.
How do you charge these headphones
Hang them on the metal hook on the base station, making sure the headphones and the hook make good contact.
My headphones will not pick up anything on my tv all the cords are right I only get static
Adjust tune button on headphones
Inserting the yellow power cord seems to be very stiff. The top light only shows for approx 1 minute. Should I force the power cable on a bit further ?
My headphones don't seem to be charging. The charge light is not coming on. Any suggestions please?
Can only suggest you give the two contacts on headset a clean with something that's not overly abrasive and do the same on the arms of the charging stand. Other than that ???
thank you for this, will try it
Why does the sound drop completely until nearly inaudible after about 1 hour watching my TV?
The Sennheiser RS120 ll is connected OK but does not transmit the channel currently playing on the TV. For instance, I may be watching a broadcast on Channel 92 but the RS 120 ll is transmitting Channel 7!! Am I plugged in to the wrong socket? I am connected via a digital/analog converter using a coaxial cable. The TV is not a "smart" and does not seem to have a coaxial connection facility. Please advise.
Hi Ian, Not sure if I have experienced the same as you but I remember accidentally being connected to a neighbours base station and was listening to their tennis game when I had a football game on my TV. I suggest you check that your back station is powered on, connected and tinker with the tuning dial on your headphones until it syncs with your base station. If you have an neighbour with a similar unit try changing the channel on the base station as you could be using the same channel as them. Change the channel by moving the slider switch on the front of the base station and then re-adjust the tuning dial on your headphones until is syncs-up. Hope this works for you as it did for me.
I used my earphones through foxtel, I heard tv and so did my husband without earphones. I have got rid of foxtel my husband put headphones cable directly into tv in earphone port, I get sound through earphones but its cut sound out so my husband cannot hear tv, how can we rectify this so we can both hear sound? Thank you marilyn
Don't connect to the headphones port on your TV. This will cut out all the sound from the TV speakers. Instead, use the red & white cables and connect to the RCA ports at the back of the TV to the Sennheiser transmitter. In this way, others watching the same TV can hear the sound and adjust the desired volume (it shouldn't affect your headphones volume). You can adjust your own volume on the headphones.
How do i connect it to the television ?
Do these have swivel ear couplings. Can these be charged without the metal cradle?
no but you can swap out the batteries.
My headphones lose the signal after about 5 mins. when I'm watching a replay through a recorder. As soon as I lose signal I switch to the TV and signal returns. What is the issue & how do I fix? This has only started to happen recently, have been using the headphones for a number of years without problem.
Hi I just brought Rs 120ll and it's not really load enough, we have Foxtel going through our tv although if I plugboard them into the headphone plug at the back of the tv it's really load but than I can't hear the Tv and I've tried plugging it into the Foxtel and it's still not load enough. PLease help
How long does it take after the first 24 hours to charge the batteries?
Can hdr 120 earphones be modified to use Bluetooth?
no
it seems possible though: external link
I really hate the fact that these cut to very very loud static if no audio is being used for 2 minutes. Sometimes at work I need to pause my music for a second and focus on something, but I always have this nagging anticipation now that I either need to switch the headphones off or do what I need to do within the frightening time limit before the loud static attacks my eardrums. Is there still no fix for this?
...unless somebody designs a highly sophisticated integrated circuit and offers it for sale to be added to the inner electronics of the headset, which would check e.g. for 1 min. silence and then cuts off the battery supply from the headset and reactivates it again, when signal-flow continues, I do not see a fix for this...
PS: Also read my answer to puddy below: The static white noise actually has a purpose in fault-finding: If you do not hear what you want, but at least white noise, you know that the issue is that these is no input signal being received by the sender...
They claim it's a feature / FCC compliance thing. They have to shut down the transmitter. My complaint is that the receiver doesn't detect loss of signal and mute, it continues to blast static a max volume.
I really wish I'd returned them for a refund, since I find I hate using them. I'll just fear the next blast of loud static.
You can compensate somewhat by making sure your PC volume is maxed, and only adjust volume with the headphones. That way they won't tend to be at such high volumes. But it's so incredibly annoying, and I'm amazed they're still selling the garbage.
Hi there. I’m currently experiencing this exact issue after having recently purchased the sennheiser headphones. Just wondering if anyone has found an alternate product that doesn’t have this issue? My partner watches tv most night with the headphones and has a habit of falling asleep, so when the headphones cut to static it wakes him up. Really hoping there’s another option on the market!
How do you connect the Australian mains unit with yellow end to the base ? The video tutorial does not cover this and the quick guide isn't helpful. I've attempted to insert it into the base but get no power
