      ​@@Nuggie_terpfessor I have a pair and they're awesome. Better quality is better quality. 9 times out of 10 if something says "gaming" on it, you're paying for marketing gimmicks. I've had these headphones for ~5 years and (knock on wood) I've had zero problems. Every "gaming" headset I had previously either broke with the audio hardware or just physically broke because of poor materials/construction. Ignore the other guy, Hyper X Cloud II's are not better for gaming.
      A $250 dollar pair of headphones dedicated to audio quality made by a reputable audiophile brand is not going to be worse in the audio department than a mid-range gaming headset. Normally higher price doesn't always mean better, but in this case it is better. Buy a standalone mic and these headphones and you will not be disappointed.

    Surround audio is dependent on the way the sound was recorded. Realistic 3D audio is entirely possible with only one driver per ear; if you think about it, we perceive 3D audio in the real world with only two ears.
    For examples, listen to the Hooke Audio videos here on RUclips with a normal set of stereo headphones. Their product provides a simple way to record 3D audio, and on playback the effect is heard without any processing or special surround sound headphones.

  • @Wistbacka
    @Wistbacka 8 лет назад +1

    I think adding a modmic to them is awesome, because remember 2 things: 1) The mod mic is attached with a magnet, providing fast attachment/detachment of the mic. And 2) You most often need the mic when gaming. When gaming you most likely sit down in one place.
    So thus when gaming, just add the mic, and when you are moving around, or just watching some movies, simply un-clip the mic. Of course, this will not give you a mobile, wireless headset. But hey, there needs to be compromises somewhere.
    You could run the mod mic through one of sennheiser's wireless mic transmitters if you really want to spend some dolla on the wireless experience.

    @lukeewert2987 9 лет назад +1

    Technically, you don't need multiple drivers for each ear to get surround sound in headphones, because each ear gets its own isolated sound. That does not mean, however, that these headphones simulate surround well. Razor makes an awesome program that takes surround signals and edits the loudness and bass/treble balance to make your brain hear it as surround with stereo headphones. It does have significant audio delay though.

  • @ytebread4226
    @ytebread4226 7 лет назад +2

    If you want surround, you need speaker placement: front, side, rear. Headphones are stereo and cannot accurately produce proper surround, in my opinion. Also, I have these headphones and think they sound great compared to my old Sony analog headphones that lasted for twelve years (even the rechargeable batteries lasted that long). I like that these headphones have the option of using analog or digital. Digital is definitely the way to go as there is a world of difference between the two. The only thing I don't like about these headphones is that the pads on the headband are too thin. When wearing the headphones for long periods of time, it hurts the top of my head causing me to readjust the position of them on my head. I'll have to mod them with thicker padding on the headband. Other than that, these things are absolutely amazing. The charge lasts a good 8 hours or longer.
    Also, I don't recommend cleaning the earmuffs with alcohol. In time, the fake leather with flake and peel. Simply use a wet terrycloth washcloth with soapy water and wipe all the skin oils away. Then use clean water with the cloth to wipe again. The fibers of terrycloth work well for grabbing debris. I feel that Sennheiser should have use real leather for the earmuffs, especially considering the price of this package.
    Best to all.

  • @KriLL325783
    @KriLL325783 9 лет назад +4

    You only need 2 drivers to get really good surround if you're using dolby headphone, which simulates how your ears do sound localization (differential delay, pitch shift etc) works really well on my Asus soundcard with any regular wired headphone.

    • @ABaumstumpf
      @ABaumstumpf 9 лет назад

      Christian Gerefalk This.I got Creative Fatl1ty - pretty cheap headphones, but once we hooked them up to a good soundcard at my friends place there was nearly no difference between those, our Senheisers and a Teufel-system.
      For how cheap they are the sound is overwhelming - sadly they re not really sturdy so my second pair is now starting to break after about 18 months.

    • @ABaumstumpf
      @ABaumstumpf 9 лет назад +1

      GodofFallout1 Some Asus soundcard that had cost around 150€ (was nearly the same price as my GPU :P).
      Sadly that guy went all bonkers and fell for the audiophile-trap.. getting a 3000€ surround-system and listening to 24bit 96kHz material... and doesn't notice when i switch it to good old 320kb Mp3 :P

    • @napillnik
      @napillnik 9 лет назад

      ABaumstumpf I can hear a difference between 320kbps MP3 and FLAC, if I concentrate (double blind tests with at least 80% guess rate). But when it comes to 24 bit, or more than 44100Hz, that's already an overkill. Experiments have shown that "audiophiles" can't hear the difference.
      But when it comes to surround sound, stereo simulation won't do. Your head isn't fixed in one position. It moves. If the sound doesn't change after movement, then it's confusing and bad. A surround sound system is much more realistic.

    • @ABaumstumpf
      @ABaumstumpf 9 лет назад

      Donnie
      Yeah, might be, but when watching a movie or playing game - you usually try to look at the monitor. and when listening to music you normally don't care form what direction it comes as long as it sounds good.
      And surround of course needs a tad bit higher bitrates.
      I just imagined how bad it would have to sound if you listened to a 320kbit 5.1 sound.
      60 kbit/channel would be a bit low i'd assume :D
      The simulation is actually quite impressive, it would be nice if it would be used more.
      About FLAC to mp3 - you can? really impressive.
      And would you say that it is in any way enhancing the experience when listening to music normally? Or only noticeable when listening in a soundproof room with high-end equip and specifically listening for differences?
      My guess would be the later.
      Impressive, but still means that it would have no real benefits for listening.
      (For mixing etc it is a different matter - NEVER use mp3 for mixing if you can use a better source).

      Just to let you know that if you like to talk when you online game this particular model does not have a built in microphone (not a true pair of wireless gaming headphones). I have used them while gaming and they are quite good. The headphones have 2 simulated surround sound levels (low and high). I tired out Dead Space with them and was very pleased on how the surround sound feature worked. I could hear every little creak and noise when I played, I kept turning around fast in the game because I could hear the necromorphs making noise as I played. They work really well. Sorry I didn't respond sooner.. been busy with work and the holidays.

      I was about to say the same thing. Though for those in the know, it probably goes without saying that these will make your ears sweat due to the non-breathable material. But I have read many reviews stating how uncomfortable these are.
      I have atm Siberia 650's, which I absolutely loathe, and they use a similar material for the cushions and yeah they are hot and make your ears sweat. Also the circular shape means the tips of your ears get squashed.

    I use Sennheiser HD201 for like 4 years+ for gaming, movies and music. The audio quality is extreme. Only downside (for me at least) is that they are a little tiny bit softer on volume. I like my game sound a little louder than normal. I have used many brands but the quality of Sennheiser is remarkable.
    How did these feel on your head? (weight). Or after an hour or so? What about max volume?

    It's no problem to get great surround perception with virtual surround that only need 2 drivers and that's all you need.
    Multiple drivers packed in a ear cup just lower the quality of each driver and worsen the experience.
    You got 2 ears you only need 2 sound sources, as long as the virtual surround processing is good you will experience surround.
    Virtual surround means the game or SPU calculates how the sound sources would get to your ear, including reflection on walls and on your ears which is the way the brain does surround.
    2 Ears -> 2 Drivers!

      kamata93 Go look at LTT's tour of a sennheiser factory, you'll see where the money goes. Most of the higher end products are at least partially handcrafted and tested thoroughly and actively by personnel, imperfect samples are straight up discarded, making yeld a concern when pricing these things. Sound quality of course is also a huge factor, especially when it comes to wireless headsets. Not everything sounds the same, and wireless stuff tends to sound significantly worse, which is apparently NOT the case here. It's not like beats, where they take 10$ drivers and price it at 350$ after placing their brand on them.

Also how do you find the leatherette ear pads? I've found them to get a bit hot and sweaty in the past, is there a velour alternative?

    Hey Jay, just saying- and I bet you know this already- properly recorded sound just needs headphones. The RUclips video Virtual Barbershop is a perfect example of this, it's called binaural audio. Just make sure you're running your headphones without any surround sound software running- eg. Razer surround it ruins the effect.

    Many people commenting on Amazon still complain about the lack of range of these in UK homes and elsewhere and is this due to the plethora of other things within the house interfering?
    I've tried Bluetooth headphones with Bluetooth dongles, Bluetooth transmitters, claiming 100m range but all to no avail as the signal or audio drop outs occur all the time. And now the above RF phones and base claim superior coverage but i am not prepared to spend that sort of money and still get drop outs when say 30 to 50 feet away from the base transmitter.

      I live in Sweden, in a highrise (eurpoean highrise not over 100m/300ft about half) and have a lot of neighbours they reach all across through the apartment. I've been rocking these since 2015 and they are so good my brother bought a pair. I really do recommend these I live in 55sqm/592sqf and have two walls between me and my bedrom and no issue and we all live in this apartmemt complex with included internet and we all have strong wifi (I have wifi 4-5 stories below) and they work amazing.

  • @Jistarii
    @Jistarii 9 лет назад

    Jay you mentioned with these that the simulated sound was not what you were expecting and a little disappointed in. Through your extensive equipment reviews are there are Home Theater wireless headphone system available that do provide the quality you are looking for? I've looked for hours and hours and can't find a single one that is designed for home theater systems. I also have children and watching a movie at night with full surround would be a blessing without waking them up.

    @Hadgerz 7 лет назад

    Owner of a pair of older 2012 edition Sennheiser RS180s here. Would these be a worthy upgrade? The optical digital input of this model is appealing (atm my soundcard is converting from digital to analog which is then being converted to digital by the RS180 and then converted again to analog by the drivers).
    They have the same freq response specs, but specs aren't everything. I find myself walking around my house finding dead spots all over the joint. Has anyone sampled the RS180? Moreover, how are these compared to the RS185? There's a $100 price difference but as far as I know they're the same drivers :\
    Also that lav mic is amazing quality. What make and model?

    • @derbigpr500
      @derbigpr500 8 лет назад +1

      +ThatDutchGuy Why sarcasm? Yes, he said that he may have used some wrong "audiophile terminology" (which is utter bullshit btw, because there's no such thing as audiophile terminology, it's just actual technical terminology). Saying that headphones have a silk dome tweeter, even in a joking fashion, is not something that should be done in a review video, because it makes you look like you ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what you're talking about. It's literally like reviewing a car and not knowing what kind of engine it has and then you say "it's probably a 2 liter diesel", when it obviously is a straight 6 petrol engine. Just looking at the headphone drivers you can clearly see they're not a silk dome tweeter, and on top of that headphones never have tweeters in the first place, it's a single driver that covers the entire range. And obviously, you can see the driver is made of a translucent material, which clearly cannot be silk. It's just mylar, a material used to make 99,9% of headphone drivers in the world. It's more than "wrong terminology", it's just lack of very basic knowledge. I don't wanna be that guy, but this is what's wrong with this whole review thing on youtube nowadays, everyone wants to make reviews and talk about products even if they have poor understanding of the topic, which is why the majority of these headphone review videos are made by people who shouldn't really be making them in the first place. Of course the most common excuse used is "I'm not an audiophile, this is just my opinion as an average consumer". Well, back in the day, I don't remember average consumers writing articles in hi-fi magazines or tech magazines. You had people who knew exactly what they were talking about write and give their opinions, because they're educated and experienced enough to be able to give an opinion that actually had weight and that was relevant. Unfortunately, 99% of people who watch those reviews are even more clueless, and therefore can't possibly recognize when someone is wrong, and trust me, they're wrong a lot. I'm sorry for saying this, and many people won't like that, but it's a fact, and it is true.

    • @Hadgerz

      You could always just...watch someone who knows what they're talking about? You're behaving like you can't just CTRL+W and find someone else?
      I guess you're that guy who goes to a retail store and complains that the staff don't know as much about the products as you, but don't let them know you don't need their help and instead waste their time when they could be serving others who are less informed (than even they may be).

    I just pair my phone with my PC, and use my E07 with my OPO in my back pocket to make my k702s 'wireless.' These things (according to the website) have 3% THD @ 114dB which is pretty high(Though you won't want that level output anyway)... Also the 17Hz to 22000Hz is meaningless; especially given they don't give any +- ranges for the response... It seems a little Odd for Sennheiser.

    Jay, Would you recommend these still today? Wife and I need a headphone without delay, wireless that can sync multiple phones for 90% watching movies late at night when kiddo is asleep. I have a surround sound system, but I like to listen at reference volume and enjoy the bass from explosions in movies and can't do that with a sleeping kid. I am headed to listen to these RS-175 today and possibly buy them today. I wanted to see if there was something better. I have no need for the RS-185 or RS-195 models with all the fancy options. Does someone make one with true surround instead of simulated surround? I use Audio Technica M50's for my PC and they are great, are these on par with those? Specs are darn close between the two on paper...

    • @photokendall
      @photokendall 7 лет назад

      Wow, bought these today and I am blown away. The bass boost mode is almost excessive. Due to the foam that the ear pads use and the sealed design vs open design on the 185's the bass is very apparent. I had some Audio Technica's and these are easily as good as those. I let the wife hear them and she loves them. The bass is very apparent but no loud and obnoxious. If your listening specifically to music and you are not a bass fan, I would suggest the 185's. Super happy so far and I have only had them for less than an hour. I would agree, the surround mode is pretty worthless. I will be using my 175's with an Earforce DSS1 to get better 5.1 surround for movie watching.
