Sennheiser Over Ear Wireless Headphones Rs 160

A significant improvement over earlier versions of Sennheiser wireless headsets. The RS 175 system sound is noticeably cleaner. Also appreciate the option to employ surround sound and bass boost.

For years I had been using the older Sennheiser RS 120 wireless headset which operated in the 926-928 MHz frequency range. The performance was adequate, but the unit suffered from multipath cancellation (signal reduction due to the out of phase combination of multiple reflections). You will notice this when you move your head slightly, and there would be a sudden, and audible, change in signal amplitude or a short burst of background noise. As I had need for an addition system, I decided on the RS 175 as it seemed to have good reviews. I have not been disappointed. The RS 175 operates in the 2.4 GHz band with digital modulation. While 2.4 GHz systems are also subject to multipath propagation deterioration, I noticed none with this system, even with the headset taken outside onto the patio with the transmitter 40+ feet away. As typical with digital modulation systems, there was a threshold effect -- if the headset got out of range, the signal would abruptly disappear, quieting the audio -- in the past, you would simply be greeted with noise. In addition, I very much like the Bass Boost and Surround Sound options which can be quickly selected at the press of a button on the headset. The one negative for the headset is that you need to really take the headset off in order to figure out which button to press. I find this a rather minor inconvenience as I am not changing audio level, bass boost or surround sound options on the fly. In summary, Sennheiser did a superb job with this unit. The audio quality is excellent (I used an analog input -- an optical interface also exists for even better quality) and the annoying multipath effects so common with many wireless headsets are non-existent.

This is our second set of Sennheiser RS 175 headphones. It's helped my husband a lot. Makes everything clear for him without turning the volume of the TV up.

The sound quality is excellent and the headphones are worth the price. I'd give the Sennheiser RS 175's 10 stars if the headphone cushions breathed a little better. The rubberized cushion covers get a little hot after an hour or so. My old 135's came with a felt or velour cover that stayed a cooler longer.

Let's face it; built in television speakers have never been hi fidelity. To make matters worse, flat screen tv speakers are tiny and point downward, not toward the viewer. Throw in room acoustics and outside noise and folks that are hard of hearing don't have a very rewarding tv viewing experience. I previously had a competing brand of headphones which seemed to muffle human voices. They really didn't help much. I needed something better. The Sennheiser RS 175 headphones had very good reviews that prompted me to get a pair. Wow! What a difference! Now I can watch NASCAR races or football games and hear the announcers over the racecars or the crowd. I can hear every word spoken on my favorite tv programs. Something else that was so exasperating was trying to hear what was being said in video clips with music playing in the background. Not a problem anymore. The Sennheiser RS 175 headphones are very comfortable and block outside noise very well. I can wear them all evening with zero discomfort. I haven't even had to adjust the controls other than volume and they sound wonderful. I haven't used them yet to play a music CD or a Blue Ray movie, but they appear to have good dynamic range. I couldn't be happier with these headphones. The only problem now is that my wife gets annoyed because she can't talk to me when I'm wearing them. Oh well.

The sound quality of the Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Pro Wireless Over-Ear Headphones (Black) is nothing short of professional!

I am enjoying my Marshall Over-ear Monitor II A.N.C headphones. Lots O'padding, comfortable when I wear my glasses. The Noise cancelling feature is really awesome.

Over the ear headphones reduce ambient noise. Sound quality is very good for mono headphones.

I personally don’t get on with in-ear headphones. Over-ear seem too cumbersome as I use mine mainly on dog walks and need to carry them in my pocket sometimes. The Major IV seem to offer the best of both worlds. They are on-ear, yet deliver a really good sound. The design is simple and different to most other headphones available. The battery life is astonishing. I’ve had mine for two weeks now and still haven’t needed to charge them. Really, really pleased with them.

Over the years I have gone through many headphones almost all of which broke. The head band broke or one of the ear pieces broke off. These are extremely well made and virtually unbreakable. More importantly, it has superb sound able to pick up from the lowest frequency to the highest! The sound is very rich, full and clear. Love them!
