Sennheiser RS 170 - Pros & Cons

a delicate and efficient balance of both comfort and fit
is well-designed with padded earpieces and generous padding on
practicality and audio quality
The link seems to function flawlessly and the range is excellent
improved functionality and have added some useful features too
Music sounds rich and clear
television and movies sound
The response is relatively even and consistent
comfortable and easy-to-use
spacious ear cups that are decently well padded
The buttons are responsive and provide basic functionality
excellent customer value and quality products
sound quality is still very clear and easy to aurally
richer sound balance and makes deeper and better-defined bass
Automatic
interference-free pairing is a nice feature as well
excellent bass and the surround sound technique produces great and pleasant sound

The signal is not compressed and you will experience virtually zero interference
the signal would be lost momentarily before being re-established
slight twist of the padding element will reveal the battery compartment
s no need to fiddle around with different FM bands or manual tuning
A2DP s limited bandwidth
the volume controls are hard to locate by touch alone
miniscule wall-wart power adaptor
being digital
and thus less susceptible to interference
The buttons are broken out into two groups
sound is a little top-heavy
the button placement leaves a little to be desired
noticable interference or loss of audio quality
Poor isolation and high leakage
block noise and leak quite a bit
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
be good headphones for sports or working out
it does not work at all with this type of plastic
The plastic used feels low grade and a bit cheap
its sound will only be heard by the person wearing the headphones
Connectivity is limited to just one analog input
definitely not high quality
constant mosquito buzzing in my ear
headband will never sit softly on your head and it will cause headaches
comfortable and trouble-free operation
the crackly and noisy wireless headphones
