I am running my RS180 wireless phones from my laptop and although the sound is very good, it is of lesser quality than my cheap wired in ear phones from the same laptop.   Does anyone have any reason for this?

Sorry, wrong forum

I use bookshelf monitors for my everyday computer audio use including music, TV gaming etc. When I switch to headphones (Sennheiser RS180) I am underwhelmed by the "in-can" or "hollow" sound. Is it possible my ears are accustomed to the really flat sound of my monitors or is this an issue with...

Hello. I am using a wireless headphone (RS180) to watch TV with. When I increase the volume to a high level via my headphones' built in volume adjuster, I can hear a white noise/static sound.   I cannot increase the volume from the sound source itself (TV) because the headphones' base...

I just received my RS180 headphones and have read that they will sound better after some burn in time.   Never heard of this term before but does this mean if I let the TV run (regular programming, headphones hooked to TV) for a few hours will it do the trick?

Hi.   Ive got a pair of Sennheiser RS180. I just bought a Dacmagic plus, and they suddenly got twice as good. But I want more now! Barely listen to my Dynaudios anymore. Could you explain the differences between the phones under $500? The ones ranked the highest seems to be the...

I have just started using the RS 180 wireless phones. They work well and provide excellent sound.  However they do not seem to be very durable, the construction is very light and its all thin plastic. I have doubts about how well they will hold up. What do users who have owned these for awhile...

Sennheiser HD 598 v/s RS 180 v/s RS 170 Mini Review I went to the Sennheiser office for demo of their headphones. I preferred RS 180 in this lot because the sound quality was nearly as good as HD 598 but with more thumping bass and very little difference in clearness and clarity, while being...
