 AWESOME HEADPHONE FOR AN AWESOME PRICE! |

| I bought my SENNHEISER RS 110 from Bestbuy for $79.99. It was all worth it for the price. This headphone is simply amazing! I tried both Sony and RCA models before settling for a SENNHEISER and both Sony and RCA doesnt even come close to the performance of the RS 110. The sound reproduction is very distinct, no "very highs" or "very lows" on the frequency range. Just right. The range is just about right for the indicated 300 feet. It is light enough to be worn for extended periods of time and the fit is very comfortable. You dont feel that "tightness" even after wearing it for several hours. In my point of view, the sound reproduction even comes close to the BOSE noise cancelling headphones except that the SENNHEISER doesnt cancel the noise. An upgraded model, the RS 120, can be recharged by placing the headset on the transmitter--this (the recharging feature) however is the only difference. Performance is solid both ways. After making extensive evaluation on my RS 110, the only feature I could think they can add to this model is a light indicator on the main headphone unit to "visually" see if it is turned on without actually looking at the power switch. Overall, the headphone is an excellent buy compared to other models in the same price range. I highly recommend this entry level wireless headphone from SENNHEISER if you're in the market looking for one. |
These 'phones are amazing (rating based on remanufactured RS-110)

First, a note on buying these remanufactured (I'm not taking off a star since this is lumped with the NEW RS-110 reviews):
They say here 'remanufactured to like-new condition'--a bit of an overstatement...I can see noticable scratches on the phones and a fairly small chip of plastic is missing from the corner of the transmitter (but I'm pretty fussy and notice that stuff).
Still, condition is good and earpads look new (thank goodness). Comes with all accessories and panasonic AAA's. Still, for the savings (1/2 price) I can deal with some surface marks. I'm satisfied with my choice to buy remanufactured, but next time I might opt to buy new. If scratches will bother you, buy new.
Now about the phones:
Reviews that say they are plug and listen are true. I first had to find the battery compartment (well disguised behind one of the earpads)...just turn the pads sideways (eitherside) to reveal what's behind them.
The reception is good, note I'm using these in a residential neighborhood....when I get back to college I'll update. I walked outside and to opposite sides of my house and to the basement...still soundin' good. Once in a while I do get some static, but (for me) it isn't constant or common enough to make this an annoyance....living in a city area or apt might cause more interference (more wireless phones etc).
The sound: Nice base, not too heavy, just right. The sound is really crisp and clear. I use these to listen to my music (CDs and LPs) and DVD's wirelessly. They seem pretty comfortable despite size, the padding on the top and the earpads is very soft. They do look hilarious on me (according to my sister I look like I should be DJing). As with most wireless phones these are big cans, but they aren't ugly...just BIG. And since I'm wearing them mostly indoors, I'm not worried about the size.
Recommended for a good priced and good sounding wireless headphone. |
An engineer's perspective...

A sound engineer's perspective...
Great Sennheiser quality - strikingly similar to some of their wired models (HD202, ect). What I expected. People say don't even bother with other brands. For the great prices Sennheiser offers, I know I don't.
Works in a large house or large condo. Static (as with all wireless headphones) occurs under 4 feet. Some people don't understand that this is natural. I've been probably 50' to 100' away from the base and have had no dropouts. Static occurs over 20' but is sparse and only in certain 'spots' - usally about two square feet. The solution - avoid those 'spots' or mess with the tuning knob.
PROS:
Fairly flat frequency response - VERY nice mids and highs
Close in quality to many mid-range wired models
Almost flawless reception when in the same room
Comfortable, open-aire design - not too tight, not too loose
CONS:
Big (but so are all wireless phones)
Silver accent color (makes them look even bigger)
No rechargeable batteries
May slip off of smaller heads when bending over (mine is big though)
Lacks a bit of bass because of the open-aire design (makes it perfect for TV but leaves a tad to be desired for music)
IMPORTANT:
Your TV has RCA OUTputs
Your volume has to be UP on the TV a little for these to work - how to circumvent this? Run your cable through a VCR and take the base station out of the RCA outputs of your VCR - now you can mute the TV, but your phones will still work through your VCR volume.
The verdict? Hard to beat for the price. Wireless headphones are not perfect, but these are about as good as you can get. Want rechargeables? Upgrade to the Sennheiser RS-120s - the same electronics, but you pay $30 more for rechargeables. Want a closed-aire design? Upgrade to the RS 140s. Want something that is open-aire and rechargeable but a bit more 'stylish' - ie. all black and less 'grandpa grey' - get the HS 130s.
I understand that the 130s and 140s have 'automatic' tuning. I would think however this could be a blessing and also a curse. Also, for those who have hearing loss in one ear - the 140s have adjustable left/right balance.
Old people hate these at first because it's essentially admitting that they have hearing loss, but give them 2 days and they LOVE them. |
The best wireless headphones I've ever used

| I've owned a couple of different types of wireless headphones and listened to a couple of other brands owned by other people. Every other one I have ever tried has had some static noise, especially when you move around the room with them. I had returned a pair of the infrared headphones after being completely disgusted with the high-pitched noise generated by the computer, etc... I had pretty much given up on wireless, that is until now. These are utterly quiet and the sound quality is outstanding. I am completely satisfied with them. I recommend them without any hesitation or reservations. I won't even look at another brand now. |
For the price, so much better than the others

| The drawbacks are that you have to tune the rf by hand and the batteries aren't rechargable. These amenities would be nice, but it just leads to more stuff that can go wrong. I bought the Sony wireless headphones before these and they would break up whenever I went into the other room and there were certain audio frequencies they couldn't handle. The Sennheiser not only have a better sound quality, but I can leave the house without them breaking up. These can't be beat for the price and are a lot better than more expensive models (Sony, RCA). |
