Sennheiser RS120: Why doesn't my transmitter turn on?

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 21:36:27 -0700

The green transmit lite on my transmitter doesn't

come on anymore to indicate the unit is transmitting.

It isn't transmitting. All connections are ok.

Any advice??

Thanks,

Sennheiser RS120: Why do they keep cutting out?

Sat, 11 Jan 2025 20:05:53 -0700

I got these headphones and they worked great except for one thing. About every 30 minutes the sound cut out and was replaced with deafening feedback noises. I can fix it by unplugging and plugging back in but it keeps happening. Please help.

Sennheiser RS120: Frequently I get a very very loud static sound in my earphones

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 12:04:17 -0700

I have two headsets for the RS 120. One is fine. The other one sends a horrible loud burst of static every now and then and scares the !&&* out of me. Can anyone relate?

Can anyone advise how I could prevent this?

Thank you.

Sennheiser RS120: The green led light comes on and goes out often

Sennheiser RS120: stopped working no sound no red light

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 23:50:24 -0700

ok - hello and how are all ?

New to this - so question

Sennheiser hdr 120 - had them about 5 years - recently replaced the batteries as thought that was the reason they were not holding the charge. But now new - already charged batteries, still no sound.

Cradle - unplugged, and same with headphones - removed batteries for the 15 min reset, plugged back in and batteries back in - still both no sound - despite tuning and volume up to wait - nothing. No red light on cradle.

I get green light on as soon as i switch plug on for power, just no red light when headphones on cradle.

Been like this for about a week - last time had to update the driver on my pc - and then it worked great until 3 days later, so could be coincidental or not. Just know its getting tedious now and the thought of replacing the whole lot is a tad of a minefield - as too much choice and prices are more now

so all or any help be good

much appreciated

Sennheiser RS120: Green light does not go on

Mon, 19 Dec 2016 15:15:37 -0700

unit worked for one year. Now green "on" light does not go on......just the red. No reception. Tried unplugging as mentioned in other q&A but that doesn't work. Feel that I have to return the thing for replacement.

Sennheiser RS120: Right ear only works when volume dial is in juuuuust right place

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 04:54:09 -0700

The left ear sounds fine, so I'm confident it's not a tuning issue. But the right ear only works if the volume dial is in one VERY specific place. Which, of course means I have no control over the volume if I want to hear in both ears. If the volume dial is not in the right spot I just get static. Halp!

Any ideas?

Sennheiser RS120: Has anyone seen a schematic for the HDR120?

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 16:41:43 -0700

I am hoping to take my broken headset and repurpose the innards as an RF receiver for standard set of headphones.

It seems like an easy build, but a schematic would simplify it.

Thanks.

Sennheiser RS120: Getting into the Sennheiser RS-120 Charging cradle

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 17:21:35 -0700

How do you take the front plate off a Sennheiser RS-120 charging cradle? The covering on the RCA male jack wire to the cradle has decomposed and needs replacement. Easy to do if you can get inside the box. Doing so is the puzzlement.>
