    Sennheiser RS160, 170 ,180... Anyone?

    Just tested it. Less delay than with a cell phone or VOIP type phone. Sorry I don't have a micro second number for you but sounds like anything less than a wired headphone is less than ideal. Just buy a set if they don't work out sell on eBay or here.   Quote:

    Sennheiser RS160, 170 ,180... Anyone?

    Quickie RS 160 review:   Purchased them from http://www.headphone.com/   B stock RS 160's.  These are the ones with the small base transmitter power by two AA's.  Glad I bought them wish I had gotten them sooner.  Finally a wireless headphone that I can audio edit [spoken word] content...

    Best Blackberry for sound quality, use with Pandora, weather and dust resistance & durability?

    Turns out I bought the Verizon Wireless Google Droid 3G phone a few days ago yes the best one. I have my Pandora One account on it now and there is choice between "High Quality" and "Normal" I'm still not sure what the bit rate difference is between the two or even what they are at this point...

    Sennhsier HD 540 Reference vintage 1991 are they 300 ohm or 600 ohm?

    My ohm meter is an old school analog but I was taught to read them correctly in A & P school.......with that said I'm pretty certain they are 600 ohm. Quote: Originally Posted by lousymusician Thread's a bit stale, but... Are you sure you measured the resistance correctly? My 1991...

    Why does Shure offer 2 different lines of IEM's? Pro Audio vs. Personal Audio?

    Quote: Originally Posted by jleewach I believe the SCL line is still considered a part of Shure's monitoring systems for stage use. As others have said, they do have a somewhat more neutral sq, although not a huge difference. I actually prefer the scl4 over the se310 (it sounds a...

    Why does Shure offer 2 different lines of IEM's? Pro Audio vs. Personal Audio?

    I have worn the E2G for one year then lost a channel due to a cable issue at the 90 degree plug area and I'm currently running the SCL2 which is basically the same IEM in appearance and performance in SQ. I bought a used pair of SE210 to see if the design was more durable and SQ is better.....it...

    Any suggestions on how to keep your headphones smelling good?

    Hydrogen peroxide does wonders on killing nasty bacteria type smells. I wonder if anybody has bought used full size cans from a member here and has thought dang these smell like a ........... WT? How is this handled on feedback threads? This is what scares me about trying to track...

    Wait on getting Sennheiser HD 580 or 600 just be happy with my ratty 19 year old 600 ohm HD 540 reference...?

    Quote: Originally Posted by Beagle I own the 540 reference and they are swell. Perhaps the most balanced and neutral dynamic headphone (from the low bass to the upper midrange, though it's a bit raggedy further up) that I've heard. Try and get a pair of new pads for them. I got some two...

    Wait on getting Sennheiser HD 580 or 600 just be happy with my ratty 19 year old 600 ohm HD 540 reference...?

    Just lost another bid an a NIB HD 580's that ended up going for $234.50 shipped on eBay. That is getting fairly close to HD 600 prices is it not? I'm basically a minimalist by nature I don't want the nice HD 600 box and I don't care that the 580 are a stripped down version of the 600's. I...

    Media Center PC type entertainment system for low vision elderly parent....?

    Thanks for the input - I'll look into those. Just wonder if there is an iPod docking station, for an iPod classic 160 gig, that will allow the display of song titles on a TV screen via a remote control? This would a very slick set up that I can swap out an iPod that is loaded with fresh...

    Media Center PC type entertainment system for low vision elderly parent....?

    My dad is legally blind but can still watch TV and read with magnification...so with that said my goal for him in his situation is to be able to do the following: load all of his CD's on to a drive so they can be easily accessed via the TV screen much like Windows media center does. Song...
