Is RS 220 really not that good as the reviews from Amazon shows? How is the sound quality compared to RS 180?

I have no experience with the RS 180,but we liked the 220 so much we bought a second one and now both use them while the volume is off on the TV. It is much better than the Bose system we have in place now and helps me - with a moderate hearing loss - hear normally.

I should say "I don't know". I didn't because while Sennheiser sound on the models I have used (most wireless models) is excellent I have not had the benefit of listening through this model. The problem with certain models (apparently the 220 included) are dropouts. Any time there is no sound the units make a distinct noise. As long as there is sound the units are great. I contacted Sennheiser and was essentially told tough luck by the engineer who responded. So I continue to use Sennheiser cordless and endure the dropout aggravation as the sound is excellent. Note: Sennheiser sales and parts staff are courteous and knowledgable. I should say "I don't know".

for me, I think it's almost same as I didn't hear any difference between RS220 and RS180.

All the negative reviews are from people roaming around and loosing the signal. If you are I the same room as the TV or stereo the sound is incredible! Even if you leave the room it is fine but obviously depends on your blue tooth connection. What are you looking to use them for? I will answer honestly.

Tough question to answer as everyone ears are different !!! One has to try it to know whether one likes it or not. But for 100$, can't complain.

I'm looking for something like this but I am very funny when it comes to the sound. I need to know if the quality is good. What do you think?

Hi, before answer your question I prepared my system and now running it (this time change the usual Emotiva DAC and the Magni amplifier for an Audio GD, very good sound too, by the way) and the sound is clear, defined and extremely well balanced as always with the T70p, really one of my reference headphones. I tried three Hotel songs, just to enjoy the test, the Eagles, Chris Isaak a Katie Melua, all sound outstanding. Beyer have very good warranty and support, must be a fault unit, rare, but happens. Happy Holidays. Leo

Unfortunately, I haven't experienced the 170. But I have owned similarly priced Sony and I can say the 180 is far superior - zero noise, nada. It has the cleanest sound I have heard. I do have a friend with the 170 and I believe it has a surround sound mode but I'm not sure so you may want to check that out. I also am able to add a second headset for the same transmitter on the 180 (perhaps up to four total - I think?), not sure if you can do that with the 170 but worth checking out if it is an issue. The 180 is "open" so you can hear other sounds going on which in my case allows me to hear when my wife is talking to me - haven't decided if that is a positive. Be well.

The xls is a line up in quality. Some of them have double woofers. I think they put more money into the tweeter/ horn too. I don't own one. This product has spectacular clarity, volume and clarity for the price. It's can be little bass heavy if there is no equalizer. If you can afford the xls, it's probably better for the highs.

it's so good. not have a lot of complains. Quality it's good, sound good, and build it's the same good. Good luck

Keep in mind you are comparing a $200 speaker to a $60 speaker, but given that I think the Amazon speaker holds its own. I wouldn't pay the premium for the Bose. Unless you just hate your money.

If it sounds better or not is subjective to the opinion(s) of each listener, if you're not happy with the sound I'd suggest getting an Equalizer so you can contour the sound it puts out to satisfy your taste. The unit itself works great and has proven to be dependable so far.

The bass is acceptable, at least to me. It won't reproduce the 20 Hz organ note of "Also Sprach Zarathustra", but that's true of most headsets (the 20 Hz note is cut off in an mp3 anyway). The frequency response is fairly flat (which is what I prefer), so the bass doesn't "boom" and "stick out" over everything else. "New Age" electronic/instrumental music (my personal favorite) sounds wonderful on this headset.

I would say that the sound has average sound quality. It has vibration if that would help.

The Shures are good but can be a bit overpriced at times. The GTD G-787H has been good so far and once the eq is set properly, it is very clear and dynamic.

The RS 130's are open air, so sound will not only get in, it'll get out as well. The sound getting out isn't bad at all. I suspect that those who have complained about sound leakage, have had the volume cranked up quite high. At slightly above normal listening, there's barely nothing to be heard. The RS 140's would be a better choice, since they are closed ear cups. But they have their limit....they don't have sound limiting circuitry built in, like for example, most of Bose corded phones.

As an audio engineer, I can personally tell the difference between the two models. However, to the untrained ear of a casual listener it will be very difficult to notice any difference. This will also differ from person to person as every set of ears and every human brain are just a little bit different. Therefore not every human being is capable of hearing all of the frequencies being omitted from the speakers. That being said, the difference between models is their frequency range. Ask yourself these questions before making a decision : 1) Do you commonly notice a difference in the overall sound quality when listening to music on different speakers? 2) Does your listening pleasure diminish when you notice these differences? 3) Are you the kind of person that doesn't mind spending a little more money if you know that you will be getting a better quality product? If you answered yes to these questions, then I would recommend doing as I did and purchasing the 800 model. BTW, if you're "all about that bass" the 800 will also be more appealing as the main difference is the low end frequencies as they always improve with size. I hope this was helpful! Matt. W.

The sound quality on this one is much better than the m55. I like it because no matter where I'm at it still has a large range and sound is awesome on both ends! Very affordable for such a nice product! Hope that helps.....

I would agree that the sound quality goes down a bit after about 75 on a complex or bass heavy track, but it is damn loud at 70. I would get complaints in my apt if I listened to it at 60-65 for more than a short period of time and I can be pretty loud here. If you're looking feel the base at a really loud setting, look for a solid 2.1 system, but I think this is a solid choice for clarity, and base up to a modestly, not get kicked out of your apartment volume level and price.

hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you. I personally own the coppers and i like them better. not to assume you are Indian, but if you are: indian music will def sound better on the pro coppers. The coppers have a wide sound stage (they still have plenty of bass that you can feel) vs. the golds. I personally don't like all my music blocked out by to much bass. I love the coppers and i would highly recommend them for overall music. But all you want is just bass then go gold. Also remember before you return either of them, i recommend a 50 hour burn in period (that really helps to bring out the music). hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you.
