In almost every respect, these Sennheiser RS 180 Digital Wireless Headphones are excellent: – The good experience starts with the packaging. The main box, the two inner boxes and the inner plastic container are very well designed and built like tanks.

I bought & returned 2 other different brands but none compared to these. Prior to making this purchase, I ordered the RS190s thinking that spending more $ meant a better product.

These are pretty expensive headphones, I had expected to be able to go anywhere in my house (including the porch) and get a good signal, but that hasn’t been the case. I don’t know of any good alternatives, though, so I’ll keep these and experiment with moving the transmitter so that I can get a better signal in other parts of the house. My mailbox is about 60 feet away and the headphones start cutting out- though the signal IS going through a layer of brick. Also it cuts out inside my house, at only 30 feet or so, if I am in the kitchen.

I purchased these to use with my TV. The sound is good but not as good as my pioneer SE-DHP800 infra-red head phones.

These are good headphones. The sound quality isn’t the best, for example, my Sennheiser HD 25-1 II headphones sound a bit better, but these are more comfortable and they’re open, and they’re wireless.

It is not like the way other manufacturers design their earphone. I am able to hear the sound around me and yet without having the compromised sound quality.

They have very reasonable range and auto-volume adjusts. NO extraneous noise. The quality of the RS-180 is pretty good. It only squeaks a little on the right side of the headset when I put them on, but after I have got them set, it does not squeak anymore.

I get around this by putting half a headband from a HD 280 in the groove between the cushions so that the pressure is spread between the top of my head and the sides. This works well, but why does the customer have to come up with a work around for such a problem? The only “real” problem I’ve run into so far has to do with the charging time. They’re supposed to be fully charged after 18 or 20 hours if I remember correctly. After 24 hours and 45 minutes, that little orange light was still blinking, so I gave up and used them anyway. But this is just a nitpick really, they can still be used, and it should be noted that I’m using the batteries which came in the package. After it dried in about an hour, it left those buttons with a raised “bump” that my fingers can easily find. The on/off/standby button is between the volume buttons, so it is now easy to find with my fingers also. So, I’m very happy to rate these headphones at an Excellent 5 stars out of 5. It took me a long time to pull the trigger on these headphones, but believe me it was well worth the money.

I had a confrontation with one and also have no desire to repeat that experience. As I mentioned previously, my light isn’t exposed to any immediate moisture at all – it is hung on my porch roof which has an eave that extends down one foot in the roof line and the light is mounted in the corner. My only grievance is quite restricted mounting options. Some less constructive feedback is the only screw provided to mount the attachment plate was too small for the hole in the plate, I used a bigger one.

Two small starter holes with my trusty Dremel and in 2-3 minutes, this ‘chore’ is going to be done.

I’ve because returned all six of these. You cannot project this light into the clouds to signal for Batman, however if you come out during the night in your pajamas, the light could make you look so cool no one would care how you look. The movement sensor has a longer range than I’d have believed, for some this is great, for other areas it causes the unit to be triggered whenever you do not expect it. When in the Auto position, the light activates, then beeps after a short time – but doesn’t active when I wave my hand in front of it – at close range (1″ in-front), and further away. The outdoor security lights produced enough light to see from the hanger bar to the floor. We park on the side of the home where there is no light so I began looking for the best outside light that would be simple to install and wireless.

The movement sensor works well, and the light is bright enough to see text by.

It seems pretty cheaply made and without any instructions. I have it outside below an eave lighting some stairs.

The lights do install effortlessly. I’ve had this light for a few months now and it is been good.

Only works when it is extremely dark so it saves battery life. One might have an ‘auto-on’ problem if batteries not secured, just open/roll and check. It is actually a “flood light” because it does not have the pinpoint beams of light you’d usually expect from an LED. Don’t expect 75 watt bulb experience.

This little solar spot light fails at all. That is about it. After I finally got desparate for better lights in the stairway leading to my basement family and party rooms, I could not find something I liked at the nearby “Big Box” stores. But, I made an error when I ordered it. You are able to set this mode by switching the light switch on the outdoor security lights, but you need to do so every single day as the unit resets itself every day. Have had over six months and still has original battery. It was precisely what I needed and is effective. Only gave it four stars because it does not have an on/off switch, or else, they are fantastic! I had to touch the sensor more often than not just to get the light to come on. Seems plenty bright and operates simply.

I’d recomment this for someone looking for movement sensor lights and not searching for high lighting as this provides a decent lighting. It has everything I really like, thirty second light, fantastic sensitivity, ease of three D batteries and bright light. We now have tried other lights and not had enough light to see inside, very happy to be able to get out there and not have to have a flashlight. Even if it does not keep Pepe Le Pew away, at least I will see the TCP lighting unit on and know somethings crawling about in that area before I let my canine out. Apart from the trouble or returning them (Amazon makes it pretty simple but it still takes time), I have been happy with the units. Thanks.

Go slowly and all will be good. I returned one in May 2011 when it stopped working. Simple set up and fantastic item.

When you first place the batteries in and it fails, just give it a few whacks.

They are fantastic little lights for the cost and work as advertised. The light is extremely low, less than I’d anticipated. Let the buyer beware! A nice feature is the fact that these won’t light until a little after sunset, nor will they light on cloudy days, saving your batteries. I had been hoping it light up the garage (20′x20′) size.

It’s a lesser model then descibed. I actually do have a question though, will it get wet? To date my bollard lighting units have been outside in winter weather with a number of snowfalls, and are working nicely. It takes nothing more than two D batteries and a screwdriver/drill to put up also it provides lots of light.

Super easy to set up.

Setting is perfect for 30 seconds.

I did need to downgrade 1 star as one of the two models I got myself had a broken nut for connecting the bottom to the light, perhaps from delivery?

These seem to be a little on the cheap side, materials wise, however they did work after banging them several times. Like others have stated; this isn’t a blinding, full flood light that’ll illuminate an enormous area. And it only comes on about 85% of times. The security bollard light is easy to set up, and worked just like you could anticipate with only three batteries. He does not like the garage simply because that’s where the cat has his cat litter box. I place a couple of these lights on my small second story deck. Great item!
