Sennheiser RS140 > Reviews (2)

In my search for a decent pair of wireless cans i came across the Sennheiser RS range and being Sennheiser i expected great things. but i wasnt blown away by these headphones. Dnt get me wrong as usual with Sennheiser these are the best wireless headphones about that your not going to pay ridiculous money for. But as far as wireless headphones go, i've yet to try a convincing pair in the £50-£100 price range. I recomend that if you are looking for headphones to listen to T.V, Films etc, then you go for the RS 130's as these include the surround sound function witch does work rather well, the open back design gives an airy natural sound aswell. But if your looking for a pair of headphones to listen to music through, then go for the RS 140's the treble is richer and the bass has more presance due to the closed back design. However there are a few issues to consider before going ahead and buying these cans,The wireless funtion is operated on an FM frequency, this is annoying as there is a hissing in the background witch becomes more noticable the further away from the reciver you are. I found that these heaphones were as convincing as other cheaper wireless heaphones when played through a standard cd player. But if your looking to match these with a component hi fi system then they really shine although be prepared to shell out for a specialized heaphone amplifier if you want to make the most of these, i recomend the Creek OBH21 headphone amp. to sum up, i'd recomed these headphones to anyone who is looking for the wireless functionabilty i bought these because i'm constantly on my feet and have coupled them with a component hi fi and specified amp. for movie's the RS 130's beat these.
