    You always seem to be rushing out the door when you post deals :D

    I got the Sennheiser RS140-8 from Amazon.fr when you posted about it here. They work fine, but I wouldn't recommend them because they mark a really needlessly loud and annoying and repetitive beeping noise if your audio input is too quiet, or if it's silent for a minute, and also when you turn them on and off.

    They also occasionally pick up radio stations by mistake. It would be nice if the software allowed you to tune into them at will but it doesn't.

    They're perfect for streaming live sports on my laptop at home because I can still listen to the match while I go and get something to eat or go to the bathroom.

    I'd imagine that this review applies to both of these products too, although maybe you can't use the RS 160 as well around the house as the range is listed as just 20m whereas my RS 140 is 150m and the RS 180 is 100m.

    The RS 140s use traditional RF transmission. The RS 160-180s use the newer KLEER technology, which has a shorter range but far, far superior quality. No hissing, no interference, no loss of audio - at least in my experience. I’ve had my RS 170s for over a year and they work brilliantly. If anything they work too well and occasionally cause interference with devices on my WiFi network.

    Thanks for this op!

    - If I'm lucky maybe someone on here could advise - I was about to buy the RS 160 set - uses digital kleer tech - but read a few reviews saying that there's a slight delay for signal processing so not suitable for use in a room where TV audio is also played through speakers at same time - they described an 'echo effect'

    - reason I'd have TV and headphones both on at once is I've hearing probs at times and it's just more comfortable for me - missus has usual audio over speakers on telly....

    Also does this mean lip sync is fractionally off for movie/TV users ????
