Esteemed fellow gardeners, may I solicit your input on unrelated Subject?



I am shopping for Sennheiser RF headphones to listen to TV (never mind
multiple reasons!)



This ad on Amazon for RS 120 headphones is confusing:



"Sennheiser Urbanite

The new Urbanite headphones deliver intense club sound, serving up
solid bass with Sennheiser's uncompromising clarity through the entire
frequency range. Available in on-ear and over-ear versions in a
variety of colors to suit your style. Shop now"



What does "deliver club sound" means and what does "solid bass" mean?



As I am a card-carrying female, genetically programmed to prefer more
treble and less bass,

I hesitate to leap before getting advice Messages on a hi-fi group
are not getting replies; TV is not "hi" fi enough for them..g



Your input appreciated.

Sennheiser of old was not all that noted for lots of bass, but very high

quality reproduction. Comparing models found, the RS110 may be a better

fit for your stated needs.

I had purchased RF headphones by SONY from Best Buy. They simply did not work.
When I returned them, the salesman said many were being retured. Just NG.

That's why I opted to go for Sennheiser, despite price differential -
based on old reputation. Didn't know it had changed?? Or had it?

So now, OMG on steroids! You think RS110!

I ordered the RD 170 USED supposed to be LIKE NEW. When it comes, I
will have to see what the bass is like. At this point I'm almost ready
to look for an old TV that still has a port for headphones. Mine is
maybe 6 years old, and already then they weren't making them. I failed
to notice when buyingTV.

WHY did they stop making TVs w/port for headphones???

Very few TVs ever had headphone port/jack, mostly smaller portable ones.
But that is here near Silicon Valley, CA, USA. Markets vary by location.
My favorite, of the headphones that i have, is Kenwood KPM-410, probably
no longer available, very smooth with nice big earpieces and good cushions
surround them, very comfortable. us $100 new. Other reviews like the
KPM-310 better, but both are a decade old now. You might try some
Kenwoods if you get the chance.

Newer tvs tend to have jacks. My comfort zone are my audio technica phones
that don't touch your ear, just your head. Ath-ad700 ?, my grados with the
bigger pads are not bad, and my Sony MDR-V6 phones are great too, the only
closed set I have. All different, all pretty good. None RF, but could be
with some adaptor.
I once had a pair of Koss electrostatic, what heavy head huggers they were.
