Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a musician with a home studio. With several sets of headphones all getting old, I decided to invest in some new ones. I've had good luck with Sennheiser in the past so I wanted to check out what they were currently offering. After reading lots of reviews, I decided to give these rs175 rf's a try. I was a little leery of them being wireless but trusting in the Sennheiser name, bought them anyway. I wanted them for general recording and playback. Pros: Excellent sound... flat, uncolored. Clear detailed, etc. All the qualities I've come to expect from Sennheiser. Wireless setup was virtually nothing... plug in the base where you'd plug in the headphones and you're done. Turn on the headphones and start listening. The stand serves as the charging station and placing the headphones on it is straightforward and secure... not clumsy at all. I have a fairly large head with proportional sized ears... (size xxl hat). The ear pads fit completely over my ears and completely seal very nicely around them. You won't be bothered by outside sounds, nor will your spouse be bothered by what you're listening to. A quick check of the range shows I can go anywhere in my average size home without losing the signal. (I didn't try going outside). Cons: The only negative is that there is a bit of latency. If you use them for listening to music or even tv, you won't notice it... but if you turn on speakers at the same time and listen to both, you'll notice a very slight lag in the headphones. Bottom line: these are excellent headphones, quality of build and quality of sound are both first rate. But if that latency is an issue, you probably shouldn't be looking at wireless anyway (I suspect this occurs on any wireless system).
