What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sennheiser RS 195 RF Wireless Headphone System

Crystal sound, I love this headset, the digital connector is a must, lightweight and confortable, lots of customizations.
The headset is a perfect fit and should fit all heads without putting rolled up washcloth under head band to hit the ear.
This product preforms as specified. The fit is good, the setup is easy.
The headset is a a bit heavy, and the weight is taken up more by your ears, than the top of your head.
These are not the same headphones as the ones made in the past. This new version is much too small around the head and it is tight.

I also own the HD 800s, and these aren't as good, of course, but there's no wire and the the 220s are lighter weight.
The sound, when it comes through, is passable for what I'd expect from a wireless headset and I love the feel and weight of the headset on my head.
The best sound and comfort of any headphone I have owned-I have owned three other wireless headphones and these are the best for listening to TV.
They are very comfortable and I love not having "cable snags" on a daily basis anymore.
The RS-220's have several advantages over the RS-180s: they're more comfortable and do a better job of cupping the ear, and sound quality is somewhat better than the RS-180's.

What customers say about "Features"

Sennheiser RS 195 RF Wireless Headphone System

There are enough settings and adjustments to the system to make them work for almost anyone with any sort of hearing problem.
The 'personal' settings are very nice, but if a little more LOUD is needed it is best to go to the other setting and use as regular headphone.
The FIT is perfect, the SOUND is perfect, controls are easy to operate from head or terminal. Nobody could ask for more.
Whilst I appreciate the light weight of these headphones, that is no excuse to use the very cheap "scratchy" plastics that proliferate throughout.
The unit is somewhat klunky in size and configuration. Product feels cheaply built.

Sennheiser RS 220 Headphone - Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I've had headphones that leave my ears hot, but I don't particularly notice that with these headphones.
These headphones have excellent sound and the range reaches everywhere in our 1600 sq. ft. house.
The sound presented is crystal clear and picks up the ranges without distortion. My highest recommendation for these headphones!
The only problem is the coverage of the transmitter. It's perfect if you just stay in the range.
These headphones sound great but they have a very limited range. You can go one room away inside your house and that's all.

What customers say about "Power"

Sennheiser RS 195 RF Wireless Headphone System

The battery life seems pretty good. And I really like that the batteries can be removed for a quick change if you've forgotten to recharge, or need to use them all day.
The rechargeable batteries seem fine for my purposes as they have never failed even after many hours of use.
No issues with the wireless connection range or battery life (rated for 18 hours).
Decent sound and great battery life and range and not a lot of sound leakage.
Battery life is good; you can go days unless you are a very heavy TV watcher.

Sennheiser RS 220 Headphone - Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

The charge lasts a long time, and in our cold Wisconsin winter, they are actually comfortable and cozy to wear.
Battery life on these things is basically unlimited for practical use, as long as you remember to put them back on the rack.
The battery life (6-8 hours) using the supplied AAA rechargeables vs. the rechanrge time for the batteries while in the headphones and recharging on the Base (12-16 hours).
Battery life has continued to worsen and the headphones fail to charge even after being left on the stand for days at time.
So these are better sound than the RS 180s. The range is much, much less. The battery life is less.
