    Sennheiser RS 180. had the RS 160 (very good) and had to get another so I picked up the RS180 and its more open design leaks more sound out but it SQ is alot better and I mainly use for HT at night as it lets me move around. Or I just use them when I doing some things like cleaning and moving around all the time but want to listen to better music then MP3 player and ear buds.

    Very clean sound and no hissing like older wireless sets use to do.

    The Sennheiser RS220 are actually the best wireless headphones you can buy, that I'm aware of. Since you didn't mention a budget I assume you're simply wanting the best, and the RS220 is that. It's a bit pricey, but I've got a pair and they're worth every penny.

    I forgot they did put out a better one! but the RS180 sounds so good I wouldn't probably every upgrade mine again.

    How do you guys feel about all the complaints about dropouts on almost "every" wireless phone, including the Sennheisers? There are ample negative reviews of these. And a number that claim the RS 220s aren't worth the upgrade over the 180s.

    Just curious. I'm not in the market for wireless because I don't really know what I'd use them for and I do believe that for the highest "fidelity" you really do have to have a wire connection, and a "good" one at that!

    well the 1st time it happened it just went perfectly quiet and it took me a second to realize what just happened. but I was way back in the back room by the dryer when it happen and since then it only happen to my rs180 one other time and never again. and it never happened to the RS160's. (until I go way out in the back yard by the fence)

    I agree that they can't touch my SENN's HD650's or Grado RS2i but there close and I think you would really be impressed with how good a wireless can be :)

    One has to wonder how much we're radiating ourselves with wireless accessories.
