Sennheiser TV Listener RS 120-W
Digital wireless transmission via the LC3 codec ensures low-latency, static-free audio with a 60-meter range and 20 hours of playback from its dock-charged AAA batteries. The RS 120-W differentiates with three listening modes and an ergonomic volume dial on the transmitter, while its padded on-ear cups provide lasting comfort for extended TV sessions. This system is ideal for TV watchers who need clear dialogue and music without disturbing others, thanks to its simple wired connection to most TVs.
