Sennheiser RS 160 Specification

The Sennheiser RS 160 is a wireless headphone system designed for high-quality audio performance and user convenience. It operates using a digital wireless transmission system, ensuring clear and reliable sound free from interference. The system consists of a pair of headphones and a compact transmitter that supports uncompressed audio transmission at a range of up to 20 meters, offering flexibility for users to move freely within their space without losing audio fidelity.

The headphones feature a closed-back, over-ear design that provides excellent passive noise isolation, enhancing the listening experience by minimizing external sound intrusion. Equipped with dynamic drivers, the RS 160 delivers rich, detailed sound with a frequency response ranging from 18 Hz to 21 kHz, catering to a wide spectrum of audio content from deep bass to crisp highs.

For user comfort, the headphones are designed with plush, adjustable ear pads and a padded headband, allowing for extended listening sessions without discomfort. The system is powered by rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries, providing up to 24 hours of continuous playback on a full charge, ensuring long-lasting performance for daily use.

The transmitter, which doubles as a docking station for the headphones, is compact and easy to set up, supporting plug-and-play connectivity with various audio sources via its 3.5mm stereo jack. This makes it compatible with a wide range of devices, including TVs, computers, and Hi-Fi systems. The RS 160 system is engineered for simplicity, with intuitive controls located on the headphones for volume adjustment and power management, making it accessible for users of all levels of technical expertise.
