What's going on everybody? My name is Tomas and I'm a YouTube content creator.
I've done reviews for Sennheiser in the past and they were kind enough to ask me
to share my setup and use process of the RS 4200 II Stethoset. Now you
may be asking "What is a stethoset?".
Well, it's essentially the mode by which you wear the headphones as you don't
wear them in the traditional senses you would think of headphones. The RS 4200 IIs
are a wireless lightweight-radio-frequency, or RF, entertainment listening
system, that fit into your ear canals and they go under your chin.
Before we get into the review and setup of these headphones let's talk about
what you get in the box.
Well, you get the stethoset headphone receiver, the transmitter, one BA 300
battery that's a 150 mAh, and that'll get you around
9 hours of listening time. You can buy extra BA 300 batteries as the
transmitter is able to charge an extra battery in the side slot that's included.
Two pair of spare ear inserts, one of which features a different design, and it
looks to be made for smaller ear canals, the AC wall adapter, an RCA to 1.8 inch
adapter, 1.8 inch audio cable to connect the transmitter to your audio source, 1.8 to
quarter inch adapter, and the obligatory instruction booklet.
Now let's go ahead and talk about the actual system itself. The RS 4200 II is an
RF entertainment option that allows for content focused isolation and it gives
you an option for undisturbed music listening or TV watching. I will say that
the 4200 has a bunch of stuff on it that it says that this system is ideal for TV watching
However that doesn't stop you from connecting the RS 4200 II to your home
entertainment system or vinyl record player and enjoying your listening
experience. The receiver has an automatic on/off function so when you pull the
earbuds apart the transmitter will begin to push a signal that goes up to a hundred meters.
Like I said when the earbuds are pulled apart it automatically powers on the
receiver so as you put the headset up to your ears
it's already ready to go, getting you right into listening to your stuff.
The volume can be adjusted straight from the receiver and you can also balance
your left and right channels from the receiver as well.
The headset has a solid 50 to 16.000 Hz frequency response which
leaves a tiny bit to be desired in the bass and treble ranges as the average
human ear can process between 20 and 20.000 Hertz. Along the lines of
frequency the transmitter works on ranges between 863.0 MHz and 865.0 MHz.
So there's a pretty thin line of communication there
making interference issues
pretty much a non-issue. With that the transmitter also has the ability to
be switched between three different channels, so if you do experience any
interference within your communication of the transmitter and receiver just
switch the channel and you should be good to go.
So how does this all work? Well, almost all TVs have an RCA connection and some
TVs even feature a 1.8 inch output. Depending on your TV's options you'll
plug the provided RCA adapter into your TV then connect the 8 inch cable into
your transmitter. Or just go straight into the TV
and to the transmitter with the cable. Don't forget to plug the transmitter
into the AC outlet using the provided adapter.
After that your receiver should have enough power in it to start listening
right away but if, not place it on the transmitter doc and let it charge for a
bit. The RS 4200 II is pretty much a plug-and-play type of device, but if
you're having issues connecting make sure to press the tune button on the
receiver to get the system to communicate better. If that's still not working
remember you're able to switch between three channels on the transmitter and
retune the receiver.
Now another thing: If you notice the music of your TV programming is
overpowering the speech of your characters of the show you're watching
or whatever, you can push the speech intelligibility button on the transmitter
This will work in a fashion that makes the music and sound effects take a back
seat to the spoken word, which is pretty awesome.
All in all the RS 4200 is a great option for an undisturbed listening experience.
Not only are you not being disturbed,
you're not disturbing others around you. It's a great way to watch your late
night shows without keeping the whole house up or not being able to hear what
is going on because you have the volume way too low. So if you're looking for
something that will do just that,
not disturb your family or allow you to be disturbed, the RS 4200 II by Sennheiser
are definitely the answer.
Well, that about does it for me in this one I want to say thank you to Sennheiser
for allowing me to be showcased on their channel and bring you a featured
product in the sense of a review and some sort of a tutorial. If you liked
this video feel free to smash that like button if you didn't, hit the other one.
I am Tomas and Ilook forward to seeing you in the next one.
