Our take on the Sennheiser RS220 (Factory Refurbished)

by David Brown
RS220_headphones_and_transmitter

Enjoy audiophile-quality headphone listening without the hassle of wires.

Great wireless sound for less with the factory refurbished RS 220

If the crystal-clear sound and wireless capabilities of Sennheiser's RS 220 headphones are just beyond your budget, check out the factory refurbished version. Carefully refurbished and tested by Sennheiser, these headphones will deliver the same great performance as a new pair of RS 220s. They're even backed by the same two-year warranty that is standard with all Sennheiser headphones, so you can be confident they'll meet their stringent quality standards.

Wireless has never sounded so good

Wireless used to mean compromised sound. Not anymore. Thanks to powerful advancements in wireless technology, the experts at Sennheiser have created audiophile-quality headphones certain to please even the most demanding listener — without the hassle of wires. Based on the legendary sound of Sennheiser's own HD 600 and HD 650 designs, the RS 220 wireless headphones will deliver your tunes with the kind of clarity that used to be available only with wired models. Their advanced drivers and open-air design help eliminate distortion, allowing these 'phones to fully reproduce the dynamics and details of your music. And plush velour earcups gently surround your ears, letting you enjoy extended listening sessions in total comfort — even if you wear glasses.

Interference-free DSSS wireless technology

The RS 220 uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology to deliver uncompressed, interference-free stereo sound. DSSS works by sequentially spreading and transmitting the digital audio signal over a wide frequency band. If interference occurs at one point within this range, data is automatically shifted to a different frequency, maintaining full CD-quality sound. Multi-receiver mode allows two people using Sennheiser DSSS headphones to listen to the same audio source, so you can easily share music, movies, or TV shows with a friend or family member.


RS220_with_multiple_inputs

Analog and digital audio inputs and outputs let you connect multiple sources. A button on the headphones makes it easy to select the source you want.

You'll never misplace these headphones

The transmitter base keeps the RS 220 headphones charged up and ready to go. It also doubles as a docking station, so you'll never forget where you put them. Optical and coaxial digital audio inputs, plus a pair of analog RCA jacks, provide versatile connections for your audio/video gear. Each input also includes a duplicate output, allowing you to daisy chain the RS 220's base station with other components in your system. Tactile buttons on the headphones make it easy to adjust volume and balance for perfect sound levels. Plus, you can select your playback sources right from the headphones. That means when it's time to switch music sources or watch TV, you don't even have to get up.

  • open-back, around-the-ear design with velour padded earcups and a padded, adjustable headband
  • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology for uncompressed, interference-free digital audio transmission over 2.4 GHz frequency
  • range: up to 300 feet (line of sight) from docking station transmitter and up to 100 feet indoors

    Features

    Overview: The Sennheiser RS 220 digital wireless headphone system transmits uncompressed CD-quality audio over a robust 2.4GHz digital link, enabling you to enjoy your music or movie soundtracks without the hassle of cables. The Sennheiser RS 220 digital wireless headphone system is made up of a pair of wireless headphones (HDR 220) and a multi-purpose transmitter (TX 220) which also functions as an charging cradle and docking station. The RS 220 digital wireless headphone system offers both analog and digital audio connections.

    DSSS Wireless Transmission: The Sennheiser RS 220 digital wireless headphone system utilizes DSSS (direct-sequence spread spectrum) to deliver clear, clean, uncompressed audio without the need for tuning. The RS 220 is able to work in crowded RF environments amongst Bluetooth, Kleer, and Wi-Fi signals. The digital wireless headphones have a wireless range up to 300' (line of sight) from multi-purpose transmitter and up to 100' indoors.

    Wireless Headphones: The Sennheiser digital wireless headphones employ a dynamic transducer system with powerful neodymium magnets that deliver clear and detailed audio reproduction. The digital wireless headphones utilize an Open-Air speaker system that mimics the acoustic properties of hi-fi speakers for a truly immersing, high-quality sound. The Open-Air speaker system delivers the most natural sounding private wireless audio experience possible. The over-the-ear design also prevents sound leakage. Velour earpads and an adjustable cushioned headband provide a comfortable fit. The headphones receive their 2.4GHz wireless stereo audio signal from the included transmitter. The wireless headphones are powered by two supplied rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries (for up to 8 hrs). You can place the headphones on the multi-purpose transmitter to recharge the batteries (approx. 16 hrs).

    Note: The headphones can operate off of AAA alkaline (1.5V) batteries or NiMH (1.2V/800mAh) rechargeable batteries.

    Multi-Purpose Transmitter: The multi-purpose transmitter connects to your television's and audio system's digital or analog audio outputs and then transmits the audio signal wirelessly to the RS 220's digital wireless headphones. You can connect up to three audio sources to the transmitter. The transmitter is fitted with two digital inputs/outputs (optical & coaxial) and one analog input/output (RCA). The analog/digital outputs allow signal to be looped through the wireless headphone system, so that the transmitter can be integrated in between two connected components. The multi-purpose transmitter also functions as a charging cradle and docking station. The transmitter operates off of standard household AC current, via the included AC power adapter.

    Multi-Receiver Mode: Up to two Sennheiser digital wireless headphones can be connected to one transmitter so two people can listen to the same sound source.

    Auto Power Off: If there is no signal from the transmitter for more than three minutes, the headphones automatically switch to standby mode. If the headphones are outside the transmission range or switched to off for more than ten minutes, the transmitter automatically switches to standby mode.

    Sennheiser RS220

    Written By GB, Reno on Monday, April 15, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I was very surprised at the lack of quality for the price. The RS220 lacks base and volume. I was also disappointed with the range they have. I have an old set of wireless headphones by Advent and the volume and base is greater than the RS220. The reason I purchased the RS220's was the Advent ear pads were worn out and I couldn't replace them. I should have tried to repurchase the Advent wireless, especially considering the price difference. These are also far from being noise canceling. In reverse, everyone around you can hear what you're listening to.
    Pros:
    Rich in sound
    Cons:
    Lacks base/volume/range. Also cuts out periodically. I'm not sure if any of the negative aspects are because I purchased refurbished, but I doubt it.

    Does not do DTS. Handshaking is occasionally confused.

    Great headphones

    I was looking for a pair of well-made Bluetooth headphones when I came across the Sennheiser RS220. These phones are perfect. They match effortlessly with my Bluetooth devices and the sound quality is solid. The headphone base and stand is a wonderful added feature that keeps the headphone readily available and always charged.
    Pros:
    Great distance reception and comfort.
    Cons:
    Adequate noise reduction.

    This set is great. Perfect for late night listening to not disturb the sleepers. It has an effective range of over 40 feet and that includes through walls as well as upstairs and basement. Great for listening to the game while waxing your car outside too!
    Pros:
    Sound clarity, lightness

    Finally, Quality Wireless Headphones

    Written By wmills01, Austin, TX on Tuesday, January 15, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Having bought and returned wireless headphones in the past, I finally found a set I will keep. There is virtually faithful reproduction of music in all frequency ranges. It also has near zero latency, so there is virtually no delay.when using these headphones to listen to music you are playing/recording on a musical instrument (my main reason for purchasing). Take the headphones off the docking charging station, touch the on switches on both the station and the headset, and you are ready to listen. It has three input modes (one analog ond two digital) and even an output jack if you want to chain. On the head set are on/off, volume, balance and input selection, all remembering your last setting. Set the headset back on the dock and it charges automatically, as well as turning everything off automatically. Very comfortable to wear - lightweight (less than a pound) and couldn't be designed any better. You may wonder why these are so expensive. Don't. Just buy them. I rate these an A.
    Pros:
    Virtually perfect sound reproduction with virtually no delay. All automatic operation. Three input modes. Very very comfortable and lightweight.
    Cons:
    Be careful not to hit the input button when taking off the headset!!
