Sennheiser R120 Wirless Headphones Problems

Linkusmax · 03-11-2007, 08:01 AM

Alright the problem is they run fine for a while (although seem a little quiet) then every once in a while the green light turns off and I get blasted by static. Then if I pull the cord out of the laptops sound jack and plug it back in it goes back to normal.

Any Ideas?

Cheers

See if this helps.

My only complaint is that if you don't have your source volume turned up enough, the base appears to cut off leaving you with a loud ear full of static. The fix to this appears to be just turning up your source and turning down the headphones.

Linkusmax · 03-12-2007, 10:01 PM

How can I do that? I have the volume on my volume controls maxed and I have to turn the headphone volume to max to hear anything properly. It seems like its something wrong with right side earphone because its quieter then the left and I get a bit of noise. But it turns boosts up to normal sound like a second before the sound cuts out and I get static blasted.

(Its not the headphones cause I get no problems when running my Ipod over the headphones

Linkusmax · 04-11-2007, 07:52 AM

Sorry I still haven't fixed this.

Bump.

**Terrister** · 04-11-2007, 10:39 AM

Took me forever to find out what freq range these headphones use.
863 ... 865 MHz or 926 ... 928MHz
Do you have any 800-900mhz phones or other wireless devices in your house? Do you live near other homes?

Is there a way to change channels on these? Could not tell from the web site.

Linkusmax · 04-11-2007, 03:37 PM

I don't think thats the problem since when plugged into anything besides my laptop (i.e. my mp3 player) and in the exact same area I have no problems.)

Yes I have tried changing channels.

**Terrister** · 04-11-2007, 06:25 PM

Ok. Please post model of your computer. It looks like a NEC from the info above.
Sorry we got off on the wrong direction. I was not clear it was just the computer with this problem. Sounds like a driver issue.

Linkusmax · 04-11-2007, 06:46 PM

The model is a

NEC Versa M540-1806DR

Also no problem, your the one helping me after all.
