Sennheiser 504252 Review - Best pair of over the ear headphones

Used nearly each and every night and still as excellent as new. Had them for almost 3 years, made use of almost each and every evening and nonetheless as good as new.

I procured these headphones in an try to hear what is remaining reported in the progressively mumbled dialogue 1 receives on television dramas these days. The phones come with a placing which clarifies spoken dialogue and a little mutes the musical track record. Result - crystal distinct reception.

As i ordered a person established for my wife and just one set for myself, the only tiny disadvantage is that we now have to shout to each individual other in purchase to talk. It is really worth noting that there is a incredibly slight time hold off in between the seem that will come by way of the tv's speakers and that which will come through the headphones. This indicates that the most effective headphone reception is when the television sound is off entirely. If you go away the tv seem on you get a slight echo when listening as a result of the headphones. But my in general judgement is that these are a really worthwhile investment.

Pros Seriously impressive wireless listening comforatble and clear- best way to watch films Excellent performance HOW TO PLEASE TWO WATCHERS. but these are just as good and don`t get as warm on your ears

Questions & Answers

• Can you use these for music from you PC and what sort of transmitter do you have to buy.
  These headphones uses 'kleer' transmission technology that is possibly only used by sennheiser over here, so you need to buy either the base station that you can buy these as a set with (for more money) or you can pair them with the cheaper hockey puck shape base station the 160's use that you can probably get on it's own but not sure. You plug the base station via 3.5mm jack into the headphone socket of your source, whether it be an amp, DAC, TV, or PC etc. they are fantastic headphones, I use them with the 160's transmitter as I bought those first, but I'd imagine it would be best to buy the 180's with their own base station. Hope this helps! ps. Pairing more than one set is a bit of a fiddle in case you did need some for a partner/friend/etc, if they go silly I found best bet is to remove the batteries and start again lol
• will rs headphones work with most sennheiser transmitters?
  No. They only work with the new digital transmitters with Kleer technology (RS160, RS170, RS180 or most newer transmitters). Older transmitters are analogue and won't work with these headphones. Would be worth checking on the Sennheiser website. Hope this helps! :)
• How do you charge them?
  The Sennheiser RS180 wireless headphones comprise one pair of HDR180 headphones plus a stand/charger. If you need a second pair of headphones you buy the HDR 180 phones which can use the same stand/charger. As far as I am aware you can't buy the stand/charger on its own.
• What does it mean when it says ." without transmitter? also what the difference between open and not open?
  An open headphone allows a certain amount of ambient noise to be heard. A closed phone doesn't. So with an open phone it is still possible to have a conversation with someone while wearing the phones. I'm not sure of the context where "without transmitter" is mentioned so can't answer that one.

Take the HDR 180 as an additional headphone for the RS 180. In the RS 180, Sennheiser provides top quality sound copy. Making use of an open up, circumaural structure, the headphones can breathe from both sides of the ear cups, providing you an great sound picture.

The HDR 180 is also outfitted with equilibrium and automated degree controls.

I desired these as a 2nd pair with the rs 180. Its quick to established up the 2nd pair and seems amazing. You decide on up aspects that you don't even listen to with total encompass audio. Expensive but value paying the added for.

Sennhesier hdr 180 headphone. Now viewing television set in a nighttime is not a trouble any more :) i'm seriously delighted with excellent of a sound which is really superior. I would endorse it to every person intrigued in getting headphones.

But these are just as very good and don`t get as heat on your ears. By now experienced a set of a hundred and seventy headphones, but these are just as great and don`t get as warm on your ears.

Arrived in ideal issue and considerably more rapidly than envisioned. They conveniently proven a link with my transmitter.

Conclusion of Sennheiser HDR 180 Additional Digital Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

I bought these to go with the sennheiser rs160 set. The sennheiser website implied that virtually all kleer units would perform in conjunction, but putting a qualifier before 'all' failed to definitely encourage me with self-confidence. I saw the issue asked on discussion boards about regardless of whether the hdr180 would do the job with an rs160 established but in no way observed the problem answered.I have to say the headphones seem good but as with hello-fi, the regulation of dimishing returns sets in.

So i at first experienced the rs120 and then obtained the rs160 and the improvement in high quality of sound for new music was staggering. The variation amongst the a hundred and sixty and 180 is quite visible to me and while not refined, i nevertheless believe the 160s supply pretty good acoustics. If i am listening to tv set or playing my guitar i will decide up which at any time headset is nearer, but if it is really tunes i decide on up the 180s. Recommendations on synching an rs160 and hdr180 are non existent, but make sure the two the transmitter and headphones are off, then keep down the buttons on every at the same time for up to about seven seconds and they should really start out flashing in sync. I imagine the real motive i wrote this evaluate, was if you by now have the a rs160 set, and want an additional set of headphones, take into consideration a hdr180 (but be conscious it won't have the similar enter to cost the batteries, so you are going to have to demand the batteries outside of the headset).

If you already have an hdr180 and wished an additional headset, you would currently know how terrific they are and wouldn't be looking at this[please notice this products will not work on it can be individual, you would also need an rs160, rs170 or rs180. Syncs perfectly with my rs180. Excellent for watching movies in the evening as we have a young child who wakes if the tv's on a little too loud.

And the sound is much better than the built-in speakers of our sony hd tv (bought november 2010). Also definitely sounds better than the rs170 (which we trialled and returned in exchange for the rs180). Much better than any home hifi speakers i have heard. Detail is awesome, the sound has immediacy and depth that you should have at this price.

First time you watch a good action or sci-fi film you know you have made the correct decision buying these. Easy to set up- no need to fiddle with the controls once you have decided who's headphones are whos- just use the amp's vol control and mute. I have two sets and base station knows when there are two headsets waiting for a signal and just gets on with it. Charging on the base station seems quick and we have not had the batteries drain whilst using yet- so that is first class too. Pricey but they work extremely well.

The criticisms by others of the fiddly contorls are justified but you don't have to adjust them very often. I purchased these headphones in an attempt to hear what is being said in the increasingly mumbled dialogue one gets on tv dramas these days. The phones come with a setting which clarifies spoken dialogue and slightly mutes the musical background. Result - crystal clear reception.

As i purchased one set for my wife and one set for myself, the only small disadvantage is that we now have to shout to each other in order to communicate. It's worth noting that there is a very slight time delay between the sound that comes through the tv's speakers and that which comes via the headphones. This means that the best headphone reception is when the tv sound is off altogether. If you leave the tv sound on you get a slight echo when listening through the headphones. But my overall judgement is that these are a very worthwhile investment.

These headphones are just the job. I used to use wired headphones but you can imagine how limited you are with them. |these headphones give you the freedom to move around (although we don't do too much moving around when watching movie). I use them often and have noticed a big difference in sound quality to the wired ones (although my wife says "not much different" -but, then, she's not an audiophile like myself)you get a few hours movie time with the batteries at full charge (1 aa battery in each ear-piece). I bought 1 pair of these headphones with the transmitter and then 2 of these extra ones and now we can watch tv at our own personal sound levels (with the wired ones we were limited to having same sound level for everyone) and without disturbing our young daughter in bed or the neighbours.

We can have the sound as loud as we like - the full cinema experience. For some people there may be confusion with the names rs 180 (that is the transmitter and headphone) and the hdr 180 (which is the headphone without transmitter). I can assure you that the hdr 180 headphone will work with the rs 180 transmitter (up to 4 headsets can be synced with the transmitter, i have had 3 synced so far with no problems). Sennheiser's digital wireless hdr 180 headphones, deliver an unbelieveable sound reproduction. Using an open, circumaural design, the headphones can breathe from both sides of the ear cups, offering you an excellent sound image.

This wireless headphone sytem utilises kleer's uncompressed digital wireless audio transmission and can serve up to four pairs of headphones. In addition, it gives you the freedom to travel up to 100m (line of sight) from your sound source. The hdr 180 is also equipped with balance and automatic level controls. The former provides for right/left volume adjustment while the latter for improved speech intelligibility as well as to ensure that the headphones always reproduce at optimum audio levels. The transmitter (not included with hdr 180, go see the rs 180 on amazon for headphone with transmitter) for the hdr 180 is multi-functional - doubling as an 'easy-charge' cradle and docking station.
