Can anyone tell me, in simple language, the difference between the RS 180's and the RS 170's? What makes the 180's worth $60 more?

The RS180 has automatic level control to lower the volume of sound effects and music and boost the level of the spoken voices. Much of the programming available from Netflix and Amazon and other services has a very wide volume range and when you get the volume right for quiet voices, the music or sound effects will blow you out the room. The ALC solves this problem so you don't need to keep adjusting the volume. I love it and think it is well worth the money since I primarily use the system for TV viewing.

Unfortunately, I haven't experienced the 170. But I have owned similarly priced Sony and I can say the 180 is far superior - zero noise, nada. It has the cleanest sound I have heard. I do have a friend with the 170 and I believe it has a surround sound mode but I'm not sure so you may want to check that out. I also am able to add a second headset for the same transmitter on the 180 (perhaps up to four total - I think?), not sure if you can do that with the 170 but worth checking out if it is an issue. The 180 is "open" so you can hear other sounds going on which in my case allows me to hear when my wife is talking to me - haven't decided if that is a positive. Be well.

By no means definitive here, since I went through the same questions before I bought these. These are open, vs. closed on the 170's. So the 170's will keep out more of the ambient noise in your environment than these will. These also will be audible easier to other people in the area, depending on the volume that can be VERY much so. Even at low volume you can hear it fine four or five feet away. I preferred the open though since I am a single parent with a 9 year old son, so I like hearing if he hollers out during the night when I'm doing something else. But for me the clincher was the far more comfortable velour ear pieces. They breathe, so your skull around your ears won't get as sweaty and wet like the fake leather stuff on the 170's will do. Now, you CAN buy the velour ear covers for the 170's, but they ran like $45 and I only found them overseas so the price difference would've been lost by the time I went that route anyway. Spec-wise, they're pretty identical with a similar feature set. I could find nothing that would push me for one over the other on a purely sound level aspect.

Sound quality is superior to the UE 6000's but both serve different functions. This is a dj headphone meant for djing and beat matching. The UE 6000's is built for comfort and does not swivel. If you are looking for something on a budget and do not need swivel. I'd go for the 6000's. If you're looking for a dj headphone with superior sound and build construction, I would go with the HDJ 2000.

They both have their advantages these 440's will do great and built like a truck. They will last a very long time and is something happens to the cable or ear pads you can easily replace them. When comparing the ath-50's to the shure 440 I believe the ath-50's have a better sound stage and will last a good while. I chose the 440's because they were cheap and had replaceable parts. So decide what your like more better sound with a little price bump or good sound with hey better feeling that you can replace items if anything ever happens. If you have the money go for the shure 840' a lot better sound and great build quality, you will not regret it. Sorry for the long rant but I hope I was able to help.

One difference that I know of is that you can get attachments for the 150, and you cannot for the 180. I would not purchase the 180 for that reason. When I go to the company website, they do not even offer the 180, and I wonder if they are still making it. If you want to hand cut your pasta forever, get the 180. If you want to make all kinds of pastas, get the 150. Hope this helps. We have not bought pasta since we purchased the machine. It is so easy and fun to use. After making the pasta a couple of times, I do not need the recipe. Just remember, 3/4 C of flour per egg. Divide the dough by how many eggs. If you use 3 eggs, divide the dough in thirds. You will love making your own pasta!

The newer 400 might have some advantage with the subwoofer being long throw floor firing. Not sure if its a $200 advantage. Other than that I highly recommend getting a 60.6 set while they last. I have been extremely pleased.

Through personal experience I've really come to like the shure sm57 due to the sturdiness and clarity that in can provide. It's also extremely versatile so there's more bang for your buck! I believe they run about $100 but you can find one on music go round for about $70 or $80

Unless your a real techie, the 120hz refresh is fine. I rate it a 9 out of 10! True the 240is definately an improovement but stil to pricey for me. The 120hz referh pic is great! Ocasionally you can see it too slow and wish you had the 240hz. However not enough to justify the cost.

The Bad reviews are for the 60 version... not the 120 version. You get the same 2 year warranty when you purchase it on Amazon... however you do not get the 90 day return period as you do with the manufacturer. The 120 is much better than the previous version. I purchased it 3 weeks ago and have had absolutely no problems.

Not sure it you have purchased the product already. Wanted to replay as the 500s are on 'Today's deal' and the difference is 30 now. hope you get email for this reply. I compared both the system when I bought them year ago and chose 500. The difference was not 200 for me in a local electronics store. If you listen to lot of music, I guess the difference is justified.

The RS 130's are open air, so sound will not only get in, it'll get out as well. The sound getting out isn't bad at all. I suspect that those who have complained about sound leakage, have had the volume cranked up quite high. At slightly above normal listening, there's barely nothing to be heard. The RS 140's would be a better choice, since they are closed ear cups. But they have their limit....they don't have sound limiting circuitry built in, like for example, most of Bose corded phones.

At lower volumes I couldn't tell the difference between the 2's and the 20's. The 20's will play louder than the 2's and are therefore better if you need room filling sound. I use the 2's as external speakers for our bedroom TV and they are amazing, as long as you don't expect a lot of bass.

Not surr about q701s but if they are identical performance wise like others have said, go for the 702s. The 702s are extremely comfortable and the sound prod. is first class.

It gets subjective here. I would say if you have the 60's these would sound better. I don't think that the difference between the 80's and the 60's is worth getting the 80's. I'm pleased with the 125's and would do it again given the opportunity.

I would stay away from RS 160. The transmitter will shut off every time the audio source (in my case TV) is switched off. You have to walk to the transmitter to turn it back on. Turn on your headphone . Wait for resync and then walk away from the transmitter. Also the placement on On/off button is awkward. Most of the time I end up switching off the headset when trying to increase or decrease the volume. Also the power button on the headset has multi-mode operation meaning , it also mutes. So you have to hold the power button from more than 1 sec to really switch it off. It is a design disaster. I was so much happier with my old HDR 130. I went for this since it broke after 10 years.

The T-40s have an extra pair of speaker and likely more power for $20. I haven't heard to T-20 but if you think of what you can buy for $20 anymore--they're worth it.

I liked 120K way better. In terms of sound quality, 190K is horrible. It produces very irritating sound. 120K is not that good either, but at least its sound is not irritating. It lacks deep bass and high treble, but otherwise its sound is okay. Both are quite comfortable to wear, but I found 120K a little bit more comfortable. 120K is definitely worth a shot, if you are looking for a CHEAP and COMFORTABLE earphones.
