A Great Price For Standard Head Phones – Acoustic Research Wireless Headphones Review

Interestingly, when the models 110 and 120 go out of range you get static, but the 180 just cuts off (which is slightly better I think). The range is essentially exactly the same, maybe 70 feet for the models 110 and 120, and 72 feet for the model 180.

I live in an apartment building, so can't watch TV or listen to music very loudly without disturbing my neighbors. I've been waiting for some time to buy some quality wireless headphones that are lossless and affordable. After breaking them in for a couple of days, they fit my head like a large comfortable head glove. I've worn them already for hours on end with very little ear fatigue. I am very pleased in all respects. The sound quality is excellent -- on par with expensive, cable-connected phones. The cheaper one was half the price, but it was junk. Don't buy a unit that uses infrared, which is directional, for the signal.

Now that I am able to hear so well again, makes the Sennheiser RS 180 Headphones well worth their cost. I have/had both multiple wired/wireless headphones, so I've put together a mental list over time, of what worked, and what hasn't. The sound is excellent in my book. The highs are crisp, the mid-range/speech areas are clear and the bass sounds are very solid but not booming. I bought & returned 2 other different brands but none compared to these. Prior to making this purchase, I ordered the RS190s thinking that spending more $ meant a better product. Even better, when listening through these, I don't lose the voices in the music (as happens through my television speakers). But, then again, I live in Florida. The sound quality is nice, they handle bass without breaking a sweat, and lighter notes as well. There's silence where silence is to be expected; if there's hissing present in what you're listening to, you'll hear that as well.

They work fine out on my front porch, though. I've used them in all the rooms in my apartment without any issues, including my kitchen which has metal cabinets.

The ONLY thing they need is a remote, as the control buttons are too close together making adjustments difficult while on your head. They are very comfortable and can be worn for extended lengths of time. It links up between headset and transmitter base in an instant. No tuning required as with the analog types. I have only two issues with this headset. The range of operation is not what I thought it should be.

They costed many times as much, though. The almost eleven foot cord/cable makes it comfortable to put on the sofa, listen and enjoy her songs. infrared wireless headphones. Purchased for myself, and I really like them. The bass is extremely light, you can barely feel it if you aren't listening to rock songs. CORDLESS STEREO HEADPHONES.
