Features
Overview: The Sennheiser RS 160 combines wireless hi-fi audio quality with a truly versatile
compact transmitter for listening at home, on-the-go, or at the office. This
wireless headphone system consists of a pair of wireless headphones (HDR 160)
and a compact transmitter (TX 160) which runs on AC or battery power to best
accommodate your application. The RS 160 utilizes Kleer's uncompressed digital
wireless audio transmission, offering a range of up to 60 feet, audiophile-grade
sound and reception to four optional pairs of Sennheiser Kleer headphones. The
Sennheiser RS 160 offers automatic, interference-free pairing between the
headphone and transmitter.
Kleer Wireless Transmission Technology: The
Sennheiser RS 160 headphone system features the digital wireless audio
transmission technology from Kleer. Kleer technology transmits
uncompressed audio over a robust 2.4 GHz digital link (2.4-2.8GHz), enabling you
to enjoy your music without the hassle of cables. Kleer's uncompressed
digital wireless transmission delivers CD-quality sound.
Note: Kleer technology will not interfere with wireless networks
or other 2.4 GHz devices.
Wireless Headphones: The RS
160's wireless headphones utilize audiophile-level transducer
systems with powerful neodymium magnets for clear and detailed audio
reproduction. They provide a transparent and balance sound image with excellent
bass response. Leatherette earpads and headband cushions provide a comfortable
fit. The headphones receive their wireless stereo audio signal from the included
transmitter. The wireless headphones are powered by two supplied rechargeable
NiMH "AAA" batteries (for up to 24 hrs). You can connect the headphones to the
included AC adapter via the charging Y-cable to recharge the batteries (approx.
16 hrs).
Portable Transmitter: The RS 160 employs a compact, portable
transmitter which operates off of AC power and can also
run on battery power. The transmitter connects to your television's or audio
system's audio output and then transmits the audio signal wirelessly to the RS
160's wireless headphones. The transmitter comes supplied with an AC power
adapter and can also function off of two "AA" batteries (sold separately) for up
to 120 hours.
Note: The transmitter requires two "AA" NiMH rechargeable
batteries (1.2V/1,300mAH) or two "AA" alkaline batteries (1.5V) for portable
use.
Multi-Receiver Mode: Up to 4 Sennheiser Kleer headphones can be
connected to one transmitter so 4 people can listen to the same sound source.
Note: Additional Kleer headphones sold separately.
Auto Power Off: If there is no signal from the transmitter for more
than 5 minutes, the headphones automatically switch to standby mode. If the
headphones are outside the transmission range or switched to off for more than 5
minutes, the transmitter automatically switches to standby mode.
