I've had these headphones for over two years now and I must say they have stood up against time very well. At first they feel quite flimsy but I've fallen asleep with them on many times and the only thing that happens is the right can pops off, but it can easily be snapped back in. Sound quality is fair, I do get a low level of static even when close (3-5 feet) to the base. Range is not even close to advertised, I'd guess mine get about 20-25 feet in my home, with walls being a very important part of the equation. They are pretty comfortable, extremely lightweight and get very loud for their size. Bass is lacking though, and as one reviewer mentioned, they are "open" headphones which means other people nearby can hear them even when listening at a low volume.
The one gripe I have about these headphones is that they do not sit on the base very well, perhaps due to how long I've had them, but they sometimes won't charge on the base because the contacts slip off. I bought an extra battery (which I highly recommend if you forget to charge the unit, like me) to charge in the back of the base, which is a nice feature.

i have owned the45s for three years now ,and when hooked up through you VCR you can have separate volume controls .I have found it necessary to send them in once as the ear piece broke off,the company was great to work with and I had a new pair in 5 days.I have used the same batteries for over two years .The only problem I is I would rather have a button switch for picking up the proper range rather then a small revolving control .This is only a personal opinion however.It is so pleasant to watch the television at whatever volume you desire and the wife can listen at another volume. Dealing with Sennheiser is a pleasure !!
Mixed feelings - Don't buy it in Greece February 27, 2004

I was given this headset as a gift and I was really excited. I connected it to my computer immediately, and used it to listen to MP3s while doing other stuff around the house or even washing the car outside (I am only on the 1st floor however). I also used it for listening to TV and watching DVDs without disturbing the rest of the family.The sound quality was great when the headphone had an unobstracted (direct) line of sight with the transmitter, but I got some static while moving around behind walls etc. Overall, I am very satisfied with both the quality of the sound and the reception distance. On the other hand, I am not particularly satisfied with the overall manufacturing quality, namely the plastics used and the feel on my ears. I prefer the leather-like headphones because they are easier to clean after use. Wearing the headphones was also a bit ackward at first, as they pressed a little too hard against my head (got used to it in the process however). One word of caution however. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IN GREECE. It broke down and then hell broke loose. There is no Sennheiser in this country and the service center of the seller (Nakas) is located hours away from me. Since I am in the capital rather than a rural area, I dread to think what would have happened to a guy from a small town in a similar case. Also, Avitech (another service center I was referred to), received my money beforehand only to inform me the device can't be fixed. I had to through it away and go for a Sony instead.

I have used amazon reviews to determine what type of headphones to buy for the price range I wanted - I considered the mixed reviews and gave Senn RS-45 a chance. I am happy to report I am 100% happy with the quality of the sound, the range, and the ease of set up (even my iPOD works with it!)

I bought this product to be able to watch tv without disturbing my wife who doesn't like background noise when she's reading. For that purpose the Sennheiser RS-45 is great. I can sit wherever and move freely without being constrained by a cord.But don't expect too much. If you move around, there will be few disturbances in reception, just as there would be if you are moving around with a portable radio. Next room the reception is not too great, so you can forget about going to the basement with the headphones if the transmitter is somewhere else. In short: if you're looking for perfect sound quality, get regular headphones with a cord. If it's more important for you that you can move around a bit, the Sennheiser RS-45 is a good option.
