Sennheiser RS 160 wireless headphones

Superb quality over wireless as never experienced before.

Great quality when compared to other wireless headphone brands. Extremely comfortable fit for almost everyone

A little low on the bass thump. The volume controls can be a little hard to use

If you used to hate wireless headphones because they could never offer the quality of a wired headset, the Sennheiser RS 160 has been built for you. Within a range of 20m, this headphone will give superb audio quality to rival the best corded...

Very good sound quality, comfortable for extended use, excellent reception, good range

Great for any audiophile or long-haul studying

First of all, let me begin by saying that I'm no spoiled brat that just buys the hottest electronics. I'm a broke college student working to pay my way through, so it took me a long time to decide to make this purchase (I got a bonus at work haha!!)...

Comfort Comfort Comfort!! And super clear sound

No thumping bass like I like it

Excellent value for the money.

After much research about the Kleer wireless technology, I took a shot at these cans due to the sale of $122.99. Kicked them on a few minutes ago, set up was very easy (the packaging is a pain for $100 headphones). Put on some AC DC...WOW! Sound...

Sound, sound, sound

Recharging/Transmitter base is a bit cheap

My wife loves them

We have a cabin that is a rather open design so sound travels to most of the house. I like to watch the evening news and maybe a show while my wife reads. The headset solves the porblem of the TV sound not bothering her. The headset works very well...

Kleer technology lives up to it's name

The SQ is excellent but there are still some flaws : 1) Rechargeable batteries (AA eneloops) can't really power up the transmitter properly as the signal tends to drop after a while. Using the supplied adapter solved the issue 2) Not exactly the most...
