Sennheiser RS 180 help!

[admin_exported]

Hi!

I have some questions about these wireless headphones, since I can't find them anywhere near me to test them... So if you could help me it would really be nice []

1. I would like to know, if someone (girlfriend) is reading book (or trying to sleep...) by you, would she hear any sound from Sennheiser RS 180 headphones? For example if I had volume on middle or loud? If so, how much?

2. Would I hear baby cry if I had volume on low?

Thank you for your help!

Yes and yes. They are open design.

Thank you for you straight answer. But got to ask something again...

Would the sound bother my girfriend sleeping by my side, when I would have volume quite high?

Or it's just like very quiet sounds coming out?

I have not heard that model, but other open designs by Sennheiser including my HD555 and HD650 leak sound like crazy so she will be bothered by it for sure

Thats true, you even do not need to have volume high. Did not heard RS180, I have HD595, and outside sound volume is not far away from what is inside. Girlfriend definitely will not like it, besides, outside sound is rubbish.

Thank you for this info! Sure need to rethink what to buy now...

Do you recommend any other wireless headphones?

You can try Sennheiser RS160 or RS170. They using similar technology and they are closed design. Cann't comment sound leakage, never had closed design headphones.

The review ive seen of the RS160 claims that the sound quality is far below that of the RS180 im afraid.
