I have RS 170 and I have to turn the headphone and cradle on manually. This is very annoying job. Is RS 180 same?

If you mean as opposed to using a remote, then yes you have to turn them on manually. Since I keep the headphones on the cradle and have to pick up the headphones to put them on my head, I don't find this annoying. Maybe I don't understand your question? i suppose you could never turn them off, but that seems wasteful.

Yes ..... the 180 is the same. This needs to be done so that the headphone can "Pair" with the cradle.

I think I am going to have to exchange this unit, as the speaker appears to be non- functional. I do get tones with spouse's headphones, but currently headphones are required for use.Update: received replacement which works without headphones.

Its a 2.5mm one. Try to get a converter [3.5mm female 2.5mm male adapter converter] for using your regular headphones.

Two reasons; One, the RS-180 has ALC instead of "Surround". ALC is Auto Level Control. It makes quiet things louder and loud things quieter to even out the volume. Very nice when you have a hearing problem or you want to keep the volume at a minimum for whatever reason. Such as sensitive ears or wearing these headphone in bed next to a sleeping person. Two the 170's don't really have surround. They imitate surround sound by delaying certain sound frequencies and other subtle adjustments. It's called Psychoacoustics, look it up on wikipedia for a good explanation. It's the same thing the Bose Wave Radio does, listen to one next time you're strolling through target. It's a very different sound. Some people, like me, intensely dislike the manipulated sound that comes from psychoacoustics. So the 170s aren't a good fit for people like me. On the other hand lots of people (most?) really love that sound. There is nothing wrong with psychoacoustics, it's a great thing and for most people it's very enjoyable.

No these aren't the original. Best bet is to muster up the extra $150 or find a different brand. Most producers don't recommend beats because they don't process the high or low frequencies well. Hope I helped!

I believe I have found the answer. I suspected it was the weirdo USB cable it shipped with. I bought a new one, and it charges just fine. It's annoying that it uses a non-standard USB connector. My headphones are just fine now. Currently, i've positioned my charging cable so that it never really twists and turns, which is what I think caused the original problem. I think the internals of the cable just aren't very good.

I'm not entirely sure what it's for, Dale. I received both my wife and my headphones in two separate orders. Neither of our orders contained any extra cords. The only things included in our packages were a small ziplock baggy with extra earpieces of varying sizes and the actual headphones themselves.Do they work with your phone? Have you tried plugging it in?One of the other replies was mentioning it was a visual notification for receiving a call. Try plugging it in and having someone call.

I have the Sennheiser 170 Digital Wireless transmitter with the headphones that came with it. Can I buy an "OPEN" 180 headphone that works with my transmitter. Where can I buy one. I tried to find it on Amazon but cannot find the 180 headphones alone. Can someone help me with this, prefereably from Amazon. Thanks, John Albitre

Do it the same way. First do one then do the other. the second one may need to be activated on the device. For example my primary connection is my phone and it is always automatic but my computer is secondary and I have to activate my headphones thru the computer

I was wondering about that too, but there isn't difference between two items. So that, I purchased 'with headphones' and I tested last weekend wedding, it works great! I satisfied a lot :)

Yup, pops right up. The problem I reported may lie with my laptop? it's weird it works after a full shutdown and not after that, I've not seen that before with any other device so I continue to suspect the headphone. Just my bad luck to get a problem child? Aside from that it sounds really good.

Yes; I have to turn on both the base and the earphone. They don't come on automatically but no problem.
