Can't seem to do this with Senn RS120's hooked into a stereo receiver
the same way wired headphones worked. I have the tv speakers turned
off and have the receiver tuned to the TV. I've tried all the settings
on the TV and some of the settings on the reciever. So far no luck. Is
it possible? Or does the source have to be turned up so everyone can
hear it?

We don't know what that means. How did you have the
wired headphones connected?

I have the tv speakers turned off

Does that also turn off whatever output from the TV
(undisclosed) you are using?

and have the receiver tuned to the TV.

Not enough information about the TV, the receiver, or the
interconnecton to really offer much help.

I have a set of radio shack wireless headphones i found at a thrift
shop.

Connected to the television output terminals, they work fine anywhere
in the house. The TV speakers are still on, but I can turn them off
using a menu option and the remote, I just never bothered. They pick
up pretty far down my driveway before they get scratchy and cut out.

I'd heard a lot of bad things about sound quality from wireless
headphones. Well, they aren't audiophile quality, but they aren't
anywhere near as bad as I expected.

I actually bought them for somebody else, but she has a flat screen
with no headphone jack or audio outs, no obvious way to use them.

You want to connect the headphone base from the stereo receiver's
"record output" or "tape output" jacks. These are constant volume
level, so then just turn the receiver's volume control down or off.

All good fortune,

Or, make an adapter so you can plug the base station into the
headphone jack of the receiver. That will also mute the sound going to
the receiver's speaker outputs. But, as stated, wiring the base
station to the rec. outs is the best way.

The OP, who as usual has disappeared, seemed to have some trouble
with his (gender neutral term implied) headphone jack, with his
(g.n.t.i.) receiver. But the Senn phones are intended for a line (in
the consumer electronics sense of the term) level signal.

And, if anyone should feel the urge to purchase the current version
of Agent as a newsreader, please, please (as a long time ( a decade)
Agent user) try it first. Or live to regret, as I'm just now, again,
reminded. Version 1.9xxx is a dream; version 4.xx is a nightmare. IMO.

Where did my draft version go? ****ing nowhere, but I digress.

All the best fortune,
Chris Hornbeck

With the wired headphones connected to the receiver headphone jack (as
stated above) the source sound could not be heard except thru the
headphones. The volume control on the receiver could be up as well. I
may try some of the other suggestions here. Thanks to all.

The set comes with an adapter. This is the first thing I tried. No
joy.

Yes, turned off as when I use wired headphones. I will revisit this.
It all should work. Sennheiser called me and said so.

Works with wired headphones (from receiver) when you don't use
'surround sound' option, and turn off speakers on receiver. I will
recheck wired phone settings and use the same with the wireless. I
thought I'd done this, but I'm 65 and sometimes forget which star
system I'm currently visiting.......
