Best Headphones Ever - Infrared Wireless Headphones Review
I'm impressed by the clarity and 'crispness' of the sound and good reproduction of lower frequencies. Comfortable to wear even for an extended time - easy to set up and use Cons: - power button on base station difficult to operate with one hand.
I get perfect reception in 97 percent of my two story house and most of the back yard. They make house work a LOT less boring.
With the 130's, which I have used for years, this does not exist. If I'm wearing the 130's and the TV is on, I only hear the sound from the 130's. You will venture forth into a new world of audio pleasure. If the Sennheiser RS-180 was a painting it would be a masterpiece by Kandinsky or Dali; a sculpture, La Pieta via Michelangelo, a song, something by Lennon & McCartney. I'm not a big fan of the button system though. For one, you shouldn't have to press two buttons to turn it on.
I appreciate it. My Sennheiser RS 180 experience was better than anticipated.
The sound quality has always been great relative to other headphones I have tried, and I had no reason to change to another model except for two things. First, the rotary volume control can easily change if you are lying down and make contact against the controls. For our installation, at least, it was an annoyance to have the charger integrated with the transmitter. The transmitter has to be physically tied to the TV sound source with a cable, which limits your choices for where to plug in the charging station. I can listen at any level I wish and no one is disturbed. In addition, the sound quality is superb.
I have used the Sennheiser RS-130 for the past 4 years, and the surround sound was incredible and delicious. My main uses are for Blu-ray movies and late night TV viewing as to not disturb any neighbors, plus it's an intimate experience without any street noise.
The two AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries will run the cans for 24 hours, and all I have to do to recharge them is to "hang" the headset on the transmitter. There's nothing to plug in. If the sound source will be on at times when you're wearing the 180's, you will probably be bothered by this. These headphones were a replacement for a set of 5 year old Sennheiser RS120 headphones that we wore out (which had in turn replaced a cheaper set of headphones). Also, you have to turn the base on to listen to stuff. The previous models turned on automatically when there was a signal. Setup was quick and easy. The base station charges the headphones when you place them on top, which I do at the end of the day.

The sennheiser at loud volumes sounds irritating. Obviously they are not like a $300+ set of stereo headphones however they surpass ur traditionally small earphones in quality! WIRELESS MP3 HEADPHONES. For the price of these, they're very good. For $20, awesome value. KIDS HEADPHONES.
