Sony Earphones - Wireless Home Stereo Review

By Emma Gonzales


SACD were demoed both as 2-channel & Multi-channel. The initial impression with the RS 180's is their extreme musicality.

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 range is excellent too - works everywhere in my 1,300 square foot apartment and in the hallway too (when I go to take garbage out for instance). What I do agree with is that the control buttons are pain to use.

I haven't used them in the basement yet but I will next time I do my laundry. I forgot the last 2 times. The RS120 model used one wheel for on/off and volume control. The RS180's uses three small flush-mounted buttons for up/down volume with the On/Off button BETWEEN the volume buttons!

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. Thanks to Kleer's uncompressed audio transmission technology another journey began via listening to some of my favorite Blue-rays like Oliver Stones "The Doors". The bass sounds are outstanding and precise.

I recommend printing out the relevant pages from the PDF manual. Sound quality is good; however I only use them to watch movies or TV programs. However, the headphones and base don't seem to be constructed with particularly high-quality materials. The plastic feels light and thin -- which could be a positive, but makes me, wonder whether they could break easily.

First, let me say that these come highly recommended. Sennheiser fixed some of the problems that plagued their previous wireless headphones. I bought it as a birthday present for my husband. It came nicely packaged. I have never given anything five stars until this product came along. Having previously owned the earlier RS 160, I knew the quality of these "cans."

Once I got used to them, it's fairly easy to adjust without hitting the power button. These headphones are exactly what I wanted and I'm so glad they are lossless so I can listen to my music at CD quality. The room in many cases is dark due to the fact that I am watching TV and my wife has gone to bed. The range of transmission is great no problems working and walking around the house. Here's a quick review for you. The quality is absolutely great, and the range is incredible.
