Sennheiser is a brand that stands out in the high-end and professional audio industry. They've recently launched a new model, the RS 180 a set of headphones that is a successor to the RS 170, which had a closed circumaural design.

Wireless headphones haven't quite caught the imagination in the way manufacturers thought they would but with the Sennheiser RS 180 headphones being almost child-play to set up, now may be the time to revisit the technology.

The Sennheiser RS 180 has a great built quality to it; Made largely from plastic with felt lining to the headband and covers to the ear-pieces have a subtle almost workman-like look and feel to them, The headphones are fitted with balance and automatic level controls mounted on the right headphone.

These are quite a wide and heavy set of headphones; With a battery fitted inside each can and the charging connector sitting at the top of headband, you'll find the overall weight of 240g can become a little tiresome if you wear them for long periods

There are no fewer than five models in Sennheiser's RF wireless range. The RS 180s are pricey, but they're worth it.

Premium; comfortable feel; punchy; detailed sound

Not cheap

All other things being equal, I'd guess most of us would rather have wireless than wired headphones. It is pretty obvious that cords get in the way, cords require you to remove headphones to get up and find an old CD, and cords restrict your dance moves.

Wireless headphones used to be perfect for head-bangers: The constant static and dropouts made you want to bang your head against the wall. But it's a different ballgame now, and cruising around the house sans wires doesn't have to cause any audio-induced migraines.

Superb sound quality; AAA rechargeable batteries keep you bumpin' for 15 hours; Well-cushioned ear pads have a more delicate touch than a safe cracker
