My mum wants a pair for listening to the tv, so that she doesn't miss things when she goes to the kitchen, but I'm having trouble finding an affordable pair with good reviews. At £60, Sennheiser RS-120's are at the upper limit of what I'd be willing to pay, but even they have very mixed reviews, with people complaining about hissing, poor fits and blasts of static. Does anyone know of a model that combines quality and affordability?
The reason she needs headphones at all is that her partner needs headphones so that he can crank up the volume without deafening the rest of us, and mum then needs to wear a pair too since otherwise there's a lag between the sound coming from the headphones and the TV speakers that bothers her partner.
