The RS 160 didn't have enough RANGE to cover my home, and wanted the increased range and AGC (automatic gain control) to tame loud passages. I am thrilled with the new RS 180!
They are just Ni-Cad AAA batteries so you should just be able to replace them with standard, inexpensive rechargeable AAAs when they eventually die. Build quality is excellent.
Here's a quick review for you. The quality is absolutely great, and the range is incredible. His first comments about the product came before it was even out of the box. The outside of the box literally has instructions on how to open the packaging!
When, in time, the batteries are exhausted, I can simply purchase replacements at the grocery store and change them out in less than a minute. I was SO PLEASED with the RS 180, that I purchased a second pair to carry with me to field locations.
I couldn't be happier with these headphones. Zero background noise.
But when you listen to piano sonata, you have narrow peaks at a few frequencies in the sound spectrum at any given time. The clear wireless transmission should have a certain threshold for "clipping" for any narrow frequency range. The ultimate test was the television with 5.1 surround sound. When these headphones were plugged into the home theatre system, for the first time he was happy. The Sennheiser RS 180 Headsets are one of the best pair of headphones ever owned. The sound qualities of the headphones are outstanding. The headphones when used, seem to often (can happen many times a day) disrupt the wireless internet

connection, and possibly the mouse and the keyboard, but I'm not sure about those. I'll try more settings soon. 6 months later - update Takes some pretty fancy technology to really impress me these days, and but these headphones are nothing but perfection. I have used high end corded headphones for a long time, and have always preferred Sennheiser. This was entirely the fault of the Sony. Having said that, the sheer ability of this set to reproduce sound simply overcame the shortcomings.
The sound quality of the 180 is only marginally better than the 120 and the positioning of the controls makes it more difficult to use. If you buy additional headsets you will need to sync them to the base before they'll function. For our installation, at least, it was an annoyance to have the charger integrated with the transmitter. The transmitter has to be physically tied to the TV sound source with a cable, which limits your choices for where to plug in the charging station. I have only two issues with this headset. The range of operation is not what I thought it should be.
