News: Wireless trio from Sennheiser

Sennheiser has announced a trio of state-of-the-art wireless headphones.

Wireless headphones have in the past had a reputation for shonky sound or interference, but Sennheiser raises the bar again with its three new wireless headphone models, the RS 160, RS 170 and RS 180.

Dynamic sound transducers with powerful neodymium magnets ensure a clear, high resolution audio playback from both hi-fi system or television, and the Kleer transmission technology promises uncompressed transmission of the audio data.

Having just wowed the crowds at the IFA technology fair in Berlin, the sweet-sounding threesome will be available to buy in October.

“All three models offer highly impressive audio quality with no cables in the way,” says Maurice Quarre, Head of Product Management Consumer Electronics at Sennheiser. “They all use Kleer transmission technology, which operates without compression and therefore without any audio loss.”

The listener can enjoy cable-free music at a radius of up to 100 metres with the RS 180.

The new RS series are designed to be comfortably worn for hours at a time, and are designed with a frequency response that reaches from 18 to 21,000 Hertz, and with a sound pressure level of 110 decibels.

The RS180 is the top-of-the-line model and is targeted at sound purists (and Tone readers!). Its open design ensures a particularly natural listening experience which can be set to individual preferences. For instance, speech intelligibility can be improved through dynamic compression (Automatic Level Control) and the balance can also be individually adjusted.
