    Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2017
    MY BACKSTORY
    My computer is in the same room as our TV, and sometimes my girlfriend wants to watch TV while I’m working at my computer. I bought a wireless Bluetooth transmitter and gave her my Bluetooth earphones… pairing was annoying and there were sometimes slight delays between video and audio. I then bought a 10m 3.5mm cord to allow her to use normal headphones, but then she was tethered in place. Although this is acceptable, I’ve been watching pricing on Sennheiser RS-series headphones for a while, thinking they would be the optimal mix of ease of use and wireless freedom. Then came along the Flex 5000.

    The Flex consists of a base station/transmitter and a wireless receiver to which you plug in a standard 3.5mm headset.

    BASE STATION
    The base station connects to your TV/audio system with either a TOSLINK/optical or 3.5mm plug. The base station is powered and also acts as a docking/charging station for the receiver. There are also buttons to allow you to adjust volume of each ear, however I didn’t have a need for this feature.

    RECEIVER
    The receiver is very small and incorporates a belt clip, an off button, volume up/down controls, and a power LED. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack for you to plug in any wired set of headphones.

    ACCESSORIES
    In addition to the base station and receiver, a nice set of (foam-tipped, non-noise isolating) ear buds are included. The power supply comes with plugs for use overseas (Australia, UK, EU, in addition to the standard US/Canadian plug), and both a 3.5mm and optical cord is provided. Although not really required, a manual is also included.

    OPERATION
    Operation is seamless – as soon as the receiver is lifted from the base, it turns on and connects. Sound is clear, true, and is broadcast with no noticeable lag… this is very important if using this device to watch TV or play games. Once you are finished listening, you can either turn off the receiver, or place it on the base. The receiver is advertised to last 12 hours on a single charge – according to the manual, it takes 3 hours of charging to fully recover the battery. Since I dock the receiver after each use (maximum 3 hours), I can’t comment on the batter longevity in a single sitting. Range is advertised at 200ft… with the base station in my basement, I have full coverage within my house EXCEPT for one room on the 2nd floor.

    WARRANTY
    This unit carries a 2-year warranty, though no details about the warranty or RMA process are included.

    NOTES
    - This is an audio receiver only – it does not have mic capability or Bluetooth and cannot be used to make or receive phone calls.
    - The receiver and base station are very sleek looking and don’t look out of place in an entertainment unit
    - If you turn off the receiver with the OFF button and want to turn it back on, press either the “+” or “-“ volume button once.

    OVERALL
    This is a great unit and well worth the steep price tag if you want to watch TV/movies or gaming without disturbing those around you. If audio/video lag is not an issue (i.e. for listening to music only), you may wish to consider less expensive options.
