My wife is fairly deaf in one ear and she has a set of Sennheiser 140's. She
now wants another set for somewhere else. Looks like the only ones like her
old are the RS180's.
Can anyone recommend something similar BUT much cheaper?
TIA

The cheapest in the Sennheiser RS series is the 120, RRP UKP89
but available from about UKP 50.

I use the Sennheiser HDR 140, and find them very good indeed.
The signal feeding the base station needs to have sufficient gain to
get an adequate SNR. Separate headsets are also available.

For the application in which I use them, we have three separate base
stations, so one can switch the button marked "tune" on the right hand
ear piece to selector the required source.

Why not get one without a balance control and add two resistors to
attenuate the good side?
You could check the current setting of her balance control to see how
much attenuation is required.

That's better Eiron, the lettering is the same size as everyone else now -
did you change anything?

Looking at the headers, Thunderbird seems to have changed from
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed"
to
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed"
for my outgoing messages, without my changing anything.

I'll try to keep the latter format especially for you.
