The Sennheiser sound quality is noticeably better, but the comfort is pretty poor compared to the AKG's. Rating: - Great set of Wireless Headphones for the priceAfter looking around for a while for a set of wireless headphones, I decided upon the Sennheiser RS120's - due to the look, price and quality I have come to expect from Sennheiser over the years. When I first took the headphones out of the box I was slightly disappointed, as they didn't 'feel' very expensive, however - once you have them hooked up to the TV / stereo / games machine, they are absolutely superb. The base response is good, volume is good and I can tune out any interference, so there is no background noise at all. The charging cradle is a clever piece of design and works as you'd expect, and also serves to store your headphones so they aren't lying around on the side. I would certainly recommend these headphones - it's just a shame Sennheiser couldn't have put a bit more effort into making the headphones feel a bit more of a quality product. Rating: - Solid wireless headphonesI bought these particular headphones a few months ago after reading the mostly positive reviews and the reasonably low price suited my budget at the time. The intervening period has confirmed what the majority of posters have said about this product, that it is superb for the price. I found the sound quality to be most agreeable for a wireless set-up, and I have been able to move round the house freely with no discernable degradation in volume or clarity. Moving a distance of 20m down to the bottom of my garden does no harm either. The other reviews do mention the issue with a slight hiss when the volume is quite low, or if there is a break in sound, say between music tracks, but I found if you experiment with the headset volume & tuner together with your actual equipment volume, your hi-fi, TV, or PC, the hiss can be pretty much be eliminated or severely mitigated. At least on my equipment. I have used this headset quite a bit and for long periods of time, and found them to be reliable and comfortable. I may move up to another Sennheiser wireless set with larger padded earmuffs, but these are doing fine for the time being. The other issue mentioned is that these headphones don't tend to stay on if you move around a lot, but they were pretty good with me. They are adjustable, but everyone has differing head shapes and sizes so you should take this into account when you get them. I guess there is never really a perfect "One size fits all" item when ... Read More Rating: - Surprisingly goodI am more discerning than most people when it comes to headphones, though I would not call myself a bona fide audiophile: my most advanced headphones being the Sennheiser HD280s, which I've also reviewed. Being a bit of a wired snob in that I don't generally trust wireless devices* to provide equal fidelity to wired ones, so I didn't expect much from the RS120s. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried them out with a Hilary Hahn CD. They are open, so they've got a fairly light, airy sound that some may feel lacks punch, but is fine for most music and is not overly tiring on the ears. Tuning can be a little fiddly, and I think that it is important to plug the dock in to the motherboard jack rather than a jack on your speakers (if using them with a computer) as I got some crackling when I tried that. However, coverage was excellent after some adjustment, and I was able to roam the house accompanied by a soundtrack. On to the physical aspects of the cans: They full headphones, but surprisingly lightweight, so they don't really press down on your head. They are fairly large and don't grip much, so if you have a smaller head they may be a bit loose. The volume and tuning dials are placed awkwardly on the back of one of the 'phones, although I don't know where else they could have been placed, perhaps on the side. The dock is a bit unbalanced and can be knocked over easily, especially if the headphones are on it.

Tuning and volume control wheels embedded in the earpieces feel, and are, poor and cheap, ditto saddened by the sound quality - if you can get it 'just right'!?! - sadly, I remained frustrated. The sound reproduction is not that(italics) impressive either. Although I'm not 'made of money', these are so disappointing that I'm already thinking about replacing them. :-( Sennheiser RS120 Headphones Black/Grey | |
