Good Headphones For The Price - Sound Proof Headphones Review

By Gabriel Hill


Everything is well designed and well-constructed. It all feels very solid. If I did this, I could not hear the TV. The Sennheiser RD180 has solved all our problems.

They were expensive but I use them for so much now that they were worth the money I spent, for sure. And they are so easy to store and charge on the base- they are always ready to use.

This is where the warm fuzzies of these headphones really paid off. In this casual close-mic setting I felt as if I was actually there & had to resist the urge several times to turn around & "see" the rest of the crowd.

We partially solved that by putting a small foam pad on the on/off button (thus separating the volume buttons). But why should we have had to invent a solution? They just take some getting used to. All things considered, I highly recommend them. I would definitely recommend these. Negatives: Our most major complaint is the design of the controls.

I couldn't be happier with these headphones. Zero background noise. So, to adjust the volume or balance, I've typically needed to remove the headphones to find and work the buttons. That can become a bit annoying after a while.

I'm only moderately technically inclined, but it only took me perhaps five minutes to set everything up. Second, although I'm not an audiophile, I've been very impressed with the quality of the sound on these headphones; I particularly like the audio-leveling feature.

Sound: These are the best headphones I've ever heard, though all my past headphones were $20 so that isn't a very helpful is it? Despite not having a trained ear, I'll try describing the audio as best as possible. I found that the bass had a decent punch, and was very clean. Past headphones I've used tend to have a muddy/blurry bass compared with the RS180. I listen to classical music mostly (90%) along with a bit of rock music and others (10%). To me, it took about 20 hours of listening to break in. I will experiment with them soon and update this review. Range can severely suffer if you start walking around corners or have too much between the headphones and the transmitter.
