Review 1 of 2

Summary:
Comparing to other headphones i used, Sennheiser built great one. You no depend on automatic gain control (like from other wendors), you can manualy adjust level of signal.
Sound you hear from RS 8 is clear and powerfull. Of course, when I walk, sometimes I loss signal (my apartment have thick steel-concrete walls) but its realy no problem.
Something about automatic gain control:
many vendors use agc, its seems to be good for techno or rap, but when in music high level of signal follow some quite part - sound seems to be compressed (just like cheap tape recorder without level control).

If you want good cordless headphones - choice Sennheiser RS 8 or if you need better enviroment isolation RS 80.

Rating: one star bellow because this headphone are not digital (anybody see digital headphones?).

Strengths:
No wires, clear sound, powerfull bass

Weaknesses:
Some difficult to setup proper level of signal

Summary:
Great headphone you can hear your favorite music or TV program through your house. Even when I'm at the attic the sound is still very clear, though there're 2 computers.

Strengths:
No wires

Weaknesses:
Because you can walk with it through the whole house it will fall from your head every time you bend or something

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
