Sennheiser RS 175/185/195

Zandvliet

Hi all,

 

I'm gonna buy a new headphone and I'm debating between the Sennheiser RS175/185/195. Currently I prefer the RS175 because the price is just right, I find the 185 and 195 a bit too expensive but I'm curious to what extend the 185 and 195 are better than the 175.

So I'm asking for you're input on this.

 

Thanks,

Cheers.

195: even higher audio quality, closed

The RS 185 are open headphones, so they leak sound and the sound stage is bigger

Closed headphones isolates and doesn't leak sound, but have a small sound stage

 

Also they all sound a bit different
