Let’s test the key features of Hi-Fi headphones of German production. Sennheiser RS120 is a versatile model of over ear open back headphones with a wired and wireless connection. They are quite worthy headphones in their price range and may represent a good choice for casual listening.
Sennheiser RS120 review
Features
Sennheiser RS120 specs declare a low impedance of 24 Ohm that allows to use it with a mobile phone without an amplifier. It still will deliver a quality loud sound having sensitivity of 106 dB. The frequency range is quite decent, 22Hz-19KHz. It has an AAA type battery.
Sound
Sennheiser RS120 delivers a full range of sounds that the receiver is able to reproduce. They sound clear and bright - good highs, mid range and bass. Open cups create a spacious soundstage.
Noise cancelling
There is no ANC. The open design of cups allows a great amount of ambient noise and makes your music leak. That is a good choice if you wish to hear everything happening in the room you are in or need to control surrounding.
Connectivity
The headphones Sennheiser RS120 are represented with wired and wireless connection. The audio cable is detachable. It seems to me a bit hard to plug in.
Comfort and design
The headband is adjustable and padded but a bit bulky. It is large and not tightening, but may be loose for a small head. The cups do not fold for a smaller size option. 230 g/8.1 oz weight is very light to wear comfortably for a long time. The built-in control buttons are comfortable in use.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Wireless option adds portability and mobility in use
- Easy to control volume with a wheel on the headphones
- Pretty good sound quality with open stage and airy feeling for the breathable cups
- Decent comfort and built quality that seems to last long
Cons
- Bulky unfoldable design is not intended for comfortable carrying out as well as the leaky sound, ambient noise for the open enclosure
