Reviews around bass (4.42 of 5)

  • I believe the item was returned because the original purchaser got frustrated as to set up since some fiddling with tv sound source is needed and on the Samsung the correct setting is in a level two menu in the advanced sound settings.
  • Bass is very powerful and can be deactivated, as well as the surround sound
  • Great sound, decent bass response and surround effects, but I wish there were more control over them
  • Very clear, with excellent additional bass and surround sound buttons on headset.
  • Bass and Surround buttons on the headphones themselves are pretty useless, and do sometimes get in the way, when trying to change volume

Reviews around bite (2.05 of 5)

  • They could be a bit more comfortable but they aren’t uncomfortable by any means
  • Then, the computer announces something to me at normal volume, which is a good bit louder than the music, which is exactly what I want and intended
  • The control buttons on the right hand headset are a bit tricky to operate by feel, but you can always take them off to make an adjustment.
  • I'm a bit of audiophile, but not so snobby as to need the $300+ set of cans to be
  • On the other hand, they are a bit more comfortable, and they are wireless.

Reviews around star (2.03 of 5)

  • Reason for two stars, expensive and can not make it work with my Samsung smart tv even by attempting to follow advice left by others concerning this problem

  • so I'm only knocking off half a star from these otherwise near-perfect headphones
  • The sound quality of these headphones are crisp, clear and loud or quiet as you need them to be
  • I think when you see so many good reviews, one tends to ignore that One star

Reviews around noise (1.90 of 5)

  • The audio is clear and there is absolutely no static or background noise
  • The headphones look splendid, feel like a premium product, and sound good (on occasion).Sadly their poor performance with the analog cable and the surround feature are too much to pass, since Sennheiser advertise this headphones as as being static noise free
  • I will let the headphones finish charging and see if anything improves (which i hope), if nothing improves i will be returning these on Tuesday at the latest and will be getting the RF 185
