Sennheiser RS195

Top Pro

Great sound performance with versatile source compatibility

The sound quality of these headphones is comparable with Sennheiser's wired audiophile headphone offerings. However, you get to enjoy the audio without the wires. The receiver has digital and analog connections, so the RS195 will work with a wide range of old as well as modern audio sources. See More

Top Con

Connection may drop from time to time

There are a number of users who experience the sound cutting off around every 15 minutes or so, as if the signal has dropped. While this only happens for a split second, this can still get annoying for some. See More

Specs

Weight:340 grams ( Headphones Only )

Battery Life:18 Hours ( Playback )

Sensitivity:117 dB

Connectivity:2.4 GHz Wireless

Top Pro

Compatible with optical, 3.5mm and RCA source devices

The base station of these headphones features three input connections: optical, 3.5mm and RCA. The base station can transmit sound from a wide range of sources including TVs, computers, home theater receivers/players and old devices which do not have native wireless connectivity. See More

Top Pro

Balanced sound signature with good clarity

On its normal setting, the sound signature is fairly balanced with good sound clarity. Highs are airy, mids sound natural and are easily heard. Bass does not have lot of power, but still has good punch to add body to the sound. See More

Top Pro

Different sound profiles to choose from

There are 5 different profiles that can change the way these headphones sound, like increasing the bass or highs. It also has sound modes that perform various functions, like making vocals more prominent. See More

Top Pro

Very good battery life

From a full charge, these headphones can play audio for up to 18 hours straight. See More

Top Pro

Headphone stand makes charging convenient

You do not need to fiddle with charging cables and small power ports on the headphones. Simply make sure that the headphone stand is plugged into a power source, and then place the headphones on the stand as instructed. The stand doubles as a charging dock which should allow for convenient charging. See More

Top Pro

Ample cushioning on the headband and ear cups

Thick and quality foam material is used as cushioning on the headband and the ear cups. These make the headphone feel soft and comfortable on the head. See More

Sony MDR-RF985RK

Top Pro

Compatible with TVs and audio receivers

The stand features RCA as well as 3.5mm inputs at the back. This input selection allows the headphones to work with a number of sound sources including TVs, media players, smartphones and the like, even if the source does not have native wireless connectivity. See More

Top Con

Sound may be tinny for some

The recessed mids of these headphones can make the sound quite a bit tinny and lacking in body. If you really want to have full and forward mids for your music then these may not be the best headphones for you. See More

Specs

Weight:300 grams (Headphones)

Battery Life:25 Hours ( Playback)

Frequency Response:10Hz - 22,000Hz

Top Pro

Great bass quality with clear highs and mids

The bass reproduction of these headphones is what stands out from the overall sound signature. Bass has good punch and power and does not sound bloated. The mids and the highs have good clarity and detail to them, though the mids can come off as too recessed for some. See More

Top Con

Can feel flimsy when handled

Plastic is the primary material in the headphones' build. This results in the headphones feeling a bit flimsy as they flex fairly easily and also rattle quite a bit. See More

Top Pro

Long battery life

It takes around 25 hours of play back for these headphones to go from a full charge to an empty battery. This should be more than enough for a long music listening session or for watching a number of movies in succession without having to charge the headphones. See More

Top Pro

Very comfortable to wear

These headphones have thick padding on the ear cups and on the headband. These make the headphones very comfortable to wear even after several hours straight. See More

Sennheiser RS120

Top Pro

Clear highs, warm and forward mids with powerful bass

These headphones have a pleasant sound signature. The highs are clear and have good detail, without becoming harsh. Mids are forward and natural sounding. The bass is powerful. However, it can also come off as bloated. The good thing is that the bass quantity does not muddy up the whole sound signature. See More

Top Con

Some hiss may mix with your music

Some users report that a fair amount of hiss can be heard from these headphones, which can be quite distracting/annoying. A possible fix would be to make sure that the source audio is at full, and that you will only control the volume from the headphones' volume control knob on one of the ear cups. See More

Specs

Weight:230 grams ( Headphones with Batteries )

Battery Life:20 Hours ( Playback )

Frequency Response:22 Hz - 19,500 Hz

Sensitivity:106 dB

Top Pro

Analog connectors ensures wide compatibility range

Instead of fancy wireless standards or next generation connections, the base station features an RCA connection which allows these headphones to work with a wide range of TVs and old school media players. These headphones can also be used with computers and laptops as these come with adapters that can convert the RCA connection into a 3.5mm connector. See More

Top Con

Can be uncomfortable after hours of use

The RS120 has an on-ear design. Combined with the rather thin padding used on the ear cups which are also a bit too soft, these headphones can put quite a bit of pressure on the ears, which can make them quite uncomfortable to wear. See More

Top Pro

Headphone stand functions as charger

The stand has contact points which match those on the headband. This allows the stand to supply power to the headphones for convenient charging. See More

Top Pro

Internal batteries can easily be replaced

Instead of using sealed, proprietary batteries, these headphones use standard AA batteries which can easily be removed from one of the ear cups. This makes replacing them convenient when they are not able to effectively hold their charge. See More
