But when you listen to piano sonata, you have narrow peaks at a few frequencies in the sound spectrum at any given time. The clear wireless transmission should have a certain threshold for "clipping" for any narrow frequency range. I would have preferred to have a nice manufacturer booklet. The packaging was so secure that it took me some time to actually get into the box.
I wish it were a little heavier because it's hard to turn the base on and off with one hand without pushing it over. The headphones fit easily over the top for storage and charging.
I cannot recommend these headphones enough. It has fantastic sound quality, range, looks and style.
I do periodically get a brief "hiccup" in the sound when I'm in the remote areas of the house, when I'm outside grilling on the patio, and when I walk into the garage. None of those distances exceed 150 feet, so I do question whether these headphones truly have a 320-foot line-of-sight range that Sennheiser advertises. I couldn't find them in Canada so purchased them in the US for $254. The suggested retail in Canada on the Sennheiser site is $499. After 24 hours and 45 minutes, that little orange light was still blinking, so I gave up and used them anyway. But this is just a nitpick really, they can still be used, and it should be noted that I'm using the batteries which came in the package.
They have the advantage of distance over the pioneers. The pioneers have more volume but these are OK. I find having the base besides the TV flashing at me all the time even more annoying than the complete idiocy of buttons that you can't feel. This is utterly ridiculous engineering.
SACD were demoed both as 2-channel & Multi-channel. The initial impression with the RS 180's is their extreme musicality. Maybe a knob on each ear pad would be better. You could memorize which way to turn the knob.
These are open phones and provide absolutely no isolation from ambient noise. If you want sound isolation, consider the Sennheiser RS 170 closed wireless phones; also sold on Amazon. Only complaint I had was that the control buttons are FLAT on the edge of the right earphone. THAT WAS EASILY SOLVED by mixing up a small batch of acrylic polymer resin, and applying ONE DROP to the volume + and volume - buttons. I am not an audiophile so I don't have loads of experience with high end headphones, but these are the best pair I have ever owned. The sound envelops you, especially when you're watching an action movie like. These headphones are excellent. After listening to music with mediocre headphones for the last few years, the RS 180 opened up a whole new level of details to my music.

They do fully enclose your ear - they do not sit on top of your ear like some headphones. I choose to try it out. Sound Proof Headphones. Fit snugly and comfy, sound production is excellent (I am no audiophile so I believe its great), and also you can't beat the cost. The quality of sound is pretty great. B HEADPHONES.
